Abstract

Nowadays, it is still challenging to develop high-efficiency broadband microwave absorption materials for electronic equipment and communication facilities. Herein, an ultra-wideband metamaterial microwave absorber (MMA) composed of CoNi@CNH/epoxy composite absorption substrates and the multilayered graphene frequency selective surface (FSS) is designed and fabricated. Thanks to the effective synergies of the multilayered graphene FSS with impressive tunable frequency features and magnetic absorption substrates with distinguished broadband absorption capacity, the obtained MMA showcases an effective absorption bandwidth from 4.5 GHz to 18 GHz. Meanwhile, an equivalent circuit model is proposed to explain its physical absorption mechanism. The designed MMA exhibits the insensitivity to both polarization modes and oblique incidences, and a significant radar cross-section reduction. The experimental results of the as-fabricated sample match well with the simulation values. Furthermore, the as-designed MMA possesses a simple fabrication process and an ultralight feature of 2.7 kg/m2. All these excellent properties make this MMA a high application prospect in both military stealth and civil fields.
