Design of microwave absorbers using Frequency Selective Surfaces
Microwave Absorber, Frequency Selective Surface, Angular Stability.
With the rapid increase of wireless systems, studies involving electromagnetic wave absorbers have attracted great attention from researchers. Their applications range from indoor systems to military applications. In parallel with this growth, the increasing studies in Selective Frequency Surfaces (FSS) allow its filtering properties to be applicable in several systems such as reflecting antennas, bandpass radomes and absorbers that will be the focus of this work. This work aims to design microwave absorbers using frequency selective surfaces. The methodology consists basically of two steps: in the first phase, a theoretical and numerical analysis of FSS with the geometries used and in the second phase, the simulation and analysis of the absorbers. For the analysis will be used a commercial computer program, which provides characteristics of transmission of the structure to a flat wave with normal and oblique incidence.
