We theoretically and numerically designed a perfect metamaterial absorber at microwave frequencies. The proposed design has a very simple geometry, wide band properties and provides perfect absorption for all polarization angles which is one of the most desired properties for an absorber structure to be used in the applications where the source polarization is unknown. In order to explain the absorption mechanism both numerical and theoretical analyses are carried out. Designed structure offers a perfect absorption at around 9.8 GHz. The resonance frequency does not change depending on the source wave polarization. In addition, it can be easily reconfigured for THz and infrared regimes for different applications such as sensors, defense systems and stealth technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chiral metamaterial (MTM) researchers generally concentrate and aim to obtain large chirality with optical activity in certain frequencies. However, new generation planar chiral MTM which have small and constant/flat chirality over a certain frequency band have not queried by this time in literature. In fact, this area is mostly ignored by researchers. This study, first one according to best of our knowledge in the literature, is investigating the small and constant/fixed chirality and focuses on the new generation planar chiral MTM based on circular split ring resonators (SRRs), in details. It can be seen from the results that the proposed model can provide small and constant/flat chirality over a certain frequency band and thus it can be used to design myriad novel devices such as polarization rotators, and electromagnetic transmission and antireflection filters for several frequency regions.

In this paper, we have designed, simulated and analyzed a new generation chiral metamaterials (MTMs) with two geometries. There are various types of chiral MTM structures in the literature and almost all of them are indented to be designed for high level of chirality. In fact, small chirality and its application areas were mostly ignored by researchers. In this sense, our study is one of the pioneer works for this type of research. Each structure based on omega resonators (ORs) with small chirality value is investigated both numerically and experimentally. The results are in very good agreement which will lead us to conclude that our structures can be easily used as devices for controlling polarization, EM wave transmission filtering, antireflection and so on for a wide range of the EM spectrum.
