Abstract
- Integrating broadband absorption, dynamic tunability, and high optical transparency into a single microwave absorber remains a crucial challenge. Here, an ultra‐broadband, tunable, and transparent microwave meta‐absorber comprising double‐layer indium tin oxide resonant patterns and a water‐based substrate is theoretically presented and experimentally demonstrated. Experimental measurements indicate that the designed meta‐absorber can achieve over 90% absorption in an ultra‐broadband frequency range of 12.49–98.21 GHz with a relative bandwidth of 154.9%, while the average optical transmittance is 60.49%. In addition, a multiple reflections interference model is employed to elucidate the physical mechanisms of the ultra‐broadband absorber. Furthermore, its absorption performance can be reversibly switched between ultra‐broadband and dual‐broadband by altering the water substrate thickness. These peculiar properties make the proposed meta‐absorber more favorable for practical applications in modern stealth materials and optical windows. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
