The design of a microwave absorber resonating in C-band and X-band having ultrathin thickness with polarization controlled behavior, have been reported. The unit cell of reported absorber embodied of multiple resonating structures resulting four absorption peaks at 6.36 GHz (in C band), 9.76 GHz, 11.48 GHz and 11.76 GHz (in X band). The overall absorptivity is obtained above 97%. 173.6 MHz (6.28 GHz–6.45 GHz), 298.6 MHz (9.62 GHz–9.92 GHz) and 710 MHz (11.25 GHz–11.96 GHz) are the FWHM (Full Width at Half Maximum) bandwidths. 0.101 λ0 is ultrathin thickness of the absorber with respect to lowest resonating frequency i.e. at 6.36 GHz. The fourfold symmetry about the axis of the unit cell controls the polarity of the absorber and the absorber behaves is stable over the outspread angle up to 45 degree for TM and TE polarized wave under oblique incident angle. The absorption behavior has been demonstrated by plotting the surface-current distribution at the resonating frequencies.
