要約:A reconfigurable microwave absorber based on double-layer metasurface is proposed for wide microwave band applications spanning 3 to 14 GHz. The absorber consists of two layers with two-dimensional array of four-semi-circular and square-ring metasurface patches loaded impedance devices, two spacers composed of honeycomb materials, and a bottom copper substrate. In order to break through the limitation of single-layer absorbers at finite resonant frequencies, a special double-layered metasurface structure is adopted. The layer I of metasurface is designed with two resonant peaks near the X band and transmission performance in the C band. Simultaneously, the layer II of metasurface is designed with a resonant peak near the C band and reflection performance in the X band. To achieve a reconfigurable effect, impedance adjustable device, such as PIN diodes, are connected between patterned metasurface cells of layer I. The simulation results revealed that the double-layer metasurface absorber can not only achieve broadband absorption effect, with the reflection value below −10 dB from 3.1 to 14.2 GHz, but also adjust the electromagnetic absorption rate, with the reflection value below −20 dB covers a bandwidth of 6.6–9 GHz. The good agreement between simulation and measurement validates the proposed absorber.
