Abstract

This paper reports a multiband Yagi-Uda shaped metamaterial absorber (YUMA) operating in X- and Ku-band of the microwave regime with the added functionalities of miniaturization, polarization controllability and wide incidence angle stability. The proposed YUMA shows three distinctive near-unity absorption peaks corresponding to 10.64 GHz, 12.08 GHz, and 14.09 GHz frequencies. The YUMA was analyzed under different oblique incidence angles for transverse electric (TE)-mode and different rotation angles of the top metasurface. The results showed that the proposed YUMA possesses multifunctional characteristics such as polarization controllability, and wide incidence angle stability. The comparison of simulated and measured results further demonstrates that the proposed absorber can be a potential candidate in polarization detection systems and transmissive polarizers. The proposed YUMA operating in the X- and Ku-band can have potential uses in several other applications, such as air traffic control, weather monitoring, military radar, and satellite communication.
