Design of Wideband Planar Absorbers using Composite MaterialsAbstract
Design of planar microwave absorbers usually incorporates the use of either magnetic or electric lossy materials. In this study, chiral materials are included in the design process of these absorbers. The genetic algorithm is used to obtain suitable solutions satisfying the design requirements. Wideband absorbers are designed using different configurations and presented in this paper. It is shown that the inclusion of chiral materials in the design process leads to more efficient absorbers.
