•Two split rings resonator-based perfect metamaterial absorbers (PMA) with tri-band incident and polarization angle.•PMA cell (7 mm × 7 mm) shows 99.91, 99.99, and 99.97 % absorption over the resonance frequency at 5.88, 9.20, and 15.88 GHz.•Absorbance at incidence angles up to 80° and polarization-independent at 0, 45, 90, 135, and 180° for both TM and TE modes.•Practical advantages in multiple sensing, satellite technology, raw satellite feeds, and radars applications. The perfect metamaterial absorber (PMA) optimized for high-performance absorbers to find the multiple sensing application. The structural composition of the PMA consists of two split ring resonators with six split gaps configured in an exhibit symmetry of rotation. The fundamental component of the design has three distinct layers: (1) the top and bottom layers, composed of a metallic substance with copper dielectric substrate with a thickness of 0.035 mm that exhibits lossy metal; (2) the middle layer, made of a lossy dielectric material referred to as Rogers RT5870 dielectric substrate with a thickness of 1.575 mm. The findings reveal that the absorber achieves a broad absorption spectrum, with simulated results from the CST Microwave Studio simulator indicating absorption peaks at 5.88, 9.20, and 15.88 GHz. whereas the strong absorbance is 99.91, 99.99, and 99.97 % with a good quality factor (Q) 29.40, 9.20, 13.23, respectively. The structural dimensions (7 × 7 mm2) are designed to deliver remarkable performance. The tri-band PMA exhibits polarization independent at various angles, including 0, 45, 90, 135, and 180° for both transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) modes. It has excellent absorption capabilities across multiple angles of incidence from 0 to 80°, including the whole operational spectrum. A comparative investigation of the circuit indicates the enhanced performance of the PMA, demonstrating its potential for exceptional functionality inside the advanced design system (ADS) software. Furthermore, the structures under consideration, which were simulated using the High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), demonstrate a strong agreement with the highest level of absorption seen at each resonance peak in the CST simulation outcomes. This paper introduces an alternative protocol, expressed in terms of the TE and TM modes, for use with the restricted symmetric structure to find multiple sensing application. The proposed study highlights the exceptional properties of
