Wide band fractal‐based perfect energy absorber and power harvester

WOS: 000470025500007
In this article, a novel wide band polarization and incident angle independent metamaterial absorber (MA) and energy harvesting applications which operates at C (4GHz-8 GHz) and X (8GHz-12 GHz) is proposed. The unit-cell of the proposed structure based on fractal circle loop. Four lumped resistors are mounted the structure to obtain a broad band absorption characteristics. Resistors increase the absorption characteristic of proposed MA significantly at mentioned frequency ranges. In addition, under favor of the resistors proposed MA can convert absorbed energy from incident wave to appearing power.
