Abstract

A microwave absorber is a single or multilayer sheets of dielectric materials stacked one above another with one side covered with metal plane while other side is exposed to receive incident microwave frequencies of which one particular band of frequencies are targeted to be absorbed. In this research, a microwave absorber was designed and fabricated with FLX-10 magnetic material and a FR4 dielectric sheet on which circular metal patches of various diameters were printed periodically. The fabricated samples were tested to observe the absorption behavior by varying the periodicity and diameter of the metal patches. The experimental results showed that the frequency response of the absorber shifted to the lower frequency region when the diameter of the metal patches decreased or the periodicity of the metal patches increased.
