Abstract
Noninvasive crowd estimation has remained a challenging issue among researchers. Methods such as image analysis and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth probing can always be used to identify and track people. Lately, authors have introduced a noninvasive method for crowd estimation based on ambient RF energy measurements. In this article, a polarization-insensitive multilayer metamaterial absorber is introduced to measure the variation in the available RF energy levels for crowd estimation purposes. The proposed dual-band absorber is designed to absorb and transfer the maximum of the available Wi-Fi energy to a lumped element to enable proper and accurate measurements. To evaluate the design, the proposed structure is fabricated as an array, and its performance is tested, proving perfect absorption at the desired frequencies, 2.4 and 5 GHz.
