Description
Summary:Abstract Here, a novel design of absorber loading dual‐layer frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) in the Salisbury screen is proposed. The design of frequency selective surfaces is mainly composed of cross‐dipole and dual‐loop metal patch. Simulation results show that this absorbing structure can achieve ultra‐wideband absorption from C band to K band and the fractional bandwidth reaches 117.1% below –10 dB. The thickness of the proposed absorbing structure is 0.078 λL and the unit cell size is 0.262 λL, where λL is the wavelength of the lowest absorbing frequency. Moreover, it shows excellent polarization stability in TE and TM modes, and it has great angular stability. Finally, the prototype of this structure is fabricated, and the measured results are in good agreement with the simulation results.
