Abstract
In this letter, a hybrid metamaterial absorber made of ceramic resonators stacked on the traditional thin conductive rubber layer (RAT) has been developed. While RAT has been proven to be an effective absorber with good absorption around 10.5 GHz, its ability to absorb electromagnetic (EM) waves is inconsistent due to its flexible characteristic. Meanwhile, the absorption bandwidth above 90 % for RAT is constrained by its dispersion, limiting the coverage across the entire X-band (8–12 GHz). To address these limitations, we have incorporated the ceramic artificial nanostructure to enhance absorption intensity and broaden the absorption bandwidth by leveraging the strong magnetic Mie resonance of the ceramic resonator. Simultaneously, the number of absorption peaks and the bandwidth of each absorption peak can be controlled by adjusting the offset distance of the ceramic resonators and by varying the sintering temperature of the ceramics. Through the integration of metamaterial design and ceramic materials optimization, we have experimentally demonstrated the feasibility of multi-band, high-absorption devices by utilizing the hybrid structure of ceramic resonators and RAT, which opens up new possibilities for the further development of absorber devices.
