So far, developed microwave absorbers exhibit significant changes in absorption with temperature, which hinder their operation within a wide temperature range. In this paper, a microwave absorber based on SiBCN ceramics was prepared. Due to the excellent high‐temperature stability of SiBCN ceramics, its permittivity changes less with temperature, avoiding the issue of performance deterioration or even failure that traditional refractory absorbers face at high temperatures. The experiment proves the absorption bandwidth for –15 dB of the SiBCN metamaterials absorber (SMA) is 12 GHz at 800°C, with a maximum absorptivity of 99.99%. According to the computed data, the resonance loss contributes 81.9 to 94.5% of the microwave absorption of SMA. This work demonstrates significant potential for applications in radar stealth under harsh conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
