Fabrication and characterization of resistive double square loop arrays for ultra-wide bandwidth microwave absorption

Abstract Microwave absorbers using conductive ink are generally fabricated by printing an array pattern on a substrate to generate electromagnetic fields. However, screen printing processes are difficult to vary the sheet resistance values for different regions of the pattern on the same layer, beca...
