Wide Incidence Angle-Insensitive Metamaterial Absorber for Both TE and TM Polarization using Eight-Circular-Sector

Abstract In this paper, a wide incidence angle-insensitive metamaterial absorber is proposed using eight-circular-sector (ECS). Under normal incidence, the proposed absorber shows high absorptivity at different polarizations due to its symmetric geometry. Under oblique incidence, zero-reflection con...
