In this paper, a bandwidth-enhanced polarization-insensitive ultra-thin metamaterial absorber has been presented. A simple equivalent circuit model has been proposed describing the absorption phenomenon to estimate the frequency of absorption of the proposed microwave absorber. The basic structure consists of concentric rings embedded one inside another to enhance bandwidth by incorporating the scalability property of the metamaterials. Simulation results show that the structure has enhanced bandwidth response with full width at half maxima (FWHM) of 1.15 GHz (9.40-10.55 GHz) with two absorption peaks at 9.66 and 10.26 GHz (96% and 92.5% absorptivity, respectively). The structure is symmetric in design giving rise to polarization-insensitivity and can achieve high absorption for oblique incidence up to 40 degrees. The proposed absorber has been fabricated and measured in anechoic chamber, showing that experimental results agree well with the simulated responses. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
