Description
Summary:In this study, a broadband metasurface absorber composed of an optimal combination of copper tiles connected with four chip resistors is designed and experimentally verified. After fixing the locations of the chip resistors and setting their resistances to 100 Ω, the genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized to design the optimal copper tile pattern for broadband absorption. The optimal combination of the copper tiles is identified by determining the states of the square tile pairs between copper or air, depending on the one or zero states of the bit sequence created by GA, respectively. The full-wave simulation results of the optimized metasurface absorber confirmed a -10 dB reflectance bandwidth within the frequency range of 6.57 to 12.73 GHz for the normal incidence condition, with the fractional bandwidth being 63.83%. The accuracy of the metasurface absorber was verified through an experimental result that matched well with the full-wave simulated one.
