Abstract

This study presents a novel, ultrathin, and compact pentamerous metamaterial absorber (PMA) designed for versatile applications across the electromagnetic spectrum. This design offers significant advantages over traditional absorbers, including enhanced tunability, reduced thickness, and improved absorption efficiency. The design of the PMA unit cell is relatively ultrathin and for various penta-band applications. This work emphasizes a 5 × 5 mm2 area unit cell and a substrate of 1 mm thick. The properties of the proposed design were simulated in high-frequency structure simulator (ANSYS HFSS) software and compared with the experimental results obtained from Vector Network Analyzer post-fabrication of unit cell PMA. The relative error attained between simulated and experimental findings was less than 2.1%. The absorption peaks of this design were found to be nearly perfect absorption, specifically at 10.39, 12.78, 21.00, 24.27, and 30.40 GHz frequencies with absorptivity ratios of almost 99.99%, 98.50%, 88.00%, 92.80%, and 93.70%, respectively, through mathematical deliberation.
