Design of Broadband and Wide-Angle Hexagonal Metamaterial Absorber Based on Optimal Tiling of Rhombus Carbon Pixels and Implantation of Copper Cylinders

A design method for a broadband and wide-angle metamaterial absorber is proposed based on optimal tiling of rhombus carbon pixels on and implantation of metal cylinders inside an acrylic substrate for which the backside is blocked by the perfect conductor. First, an intermediate carbon metapattern i...
