Broadband refleetionless metamaterials with customizable absorption-transmission-integrated performance

摘要

Broadband reflectionless metamaterials with customizable absorption-transmission-integrated performance are proposed, discussed, and demonstrated in this paper. The three-dimensional metamaterial absorbers (MAs) consist of multilayered metal-insulator composition which are introduced here for broadband electromagnetic wave absorption. The frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) backed on the bottom also help achieve multi-transmissions inside or outside of the absorption band. Simulations indicate that diversiform combinations of the MAs and the FSSs will contribute more choice of customizable absorption-transmission-integrated performance. Compared with the foregoing designs, the three-dimensional MAs used here possess broadband absorption with abrupt transition zone which are easier to achieve absorption-transmission-integrated performance with almost no reflection during the entire frequency band. Meanwhile, the simple component and the easy fabrication also make it possible for the absorption-transmission-integrated metamaterials (ATMAs) to be referenced at higher frequencies, such as infrared or optical frequencies. At last, an experimental proof is given at the microwave frequencies. The good agreement between simulation and measurement indicates that our proposed ATMAs will exhibit great potential applications, for example, stealth technology, communication security, and selective multi-frequency sensing.
