摘要

This paper presents a bilayer resistive ink-based polarization-insensitive (PI), ultra-wideband electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber with wide angular stability (AS). The work aims to develop a high-performance ultra-wideband absorber by leveraging the lossy nature of printed resistive ink surfaces. The proposed absorber design achieves 90% absorption bandwidth of 20.45 GHz (6.45–26.9 GHz) having fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 122.4% and 95% absorption in two bands, 6.05 GHz (7.35–13.4 GHz) and 10.3 GHz (15.2–25.5 GHz). The absorber demonstrates good PI along with wide AS ≥ 65 \(^\circ\) . These significant achievements are obtained using symmetric design structure with minimum air gaps. The proposed frequency selective surface (FSS) absorber is designed on two identical lossy FR-4 substrates with a relative permittivity of \(\varepsilon_{{\text{r}}} = 4.4\) ε r = 4.4 , a loss tangent of \({\text{tan}}\delta = 0.02\) tan δ = 0.02 , and a thickness of 0.2 mm each. The multilayer technique is implemented to achieve ultra-wideband absorption, good PI and AS, which made it suitable for stealth technology applications in the C, X, Ku, and K bands. The simulated results are verified mathematically using equivalent circuit modeling (ECM) and validated experimentally after measuring the fabricated prototype.
