The design of a dual polarized metasurface collector based on the metamaterial full absorption concept for electromagnetic energy harvesting is introduced. Unlike previous metamaterial absorber designs, here the power absorbed is mostly dissipated across a resistive load rather than within the dielectric substrate. This is achieved by channeling the absorbed power to an optimal resistive load through a via hole. The simulation results show that a power absorption efficiency of 98% is achieved at an operating frequency of 2 GHz for a single unit cell. A super unit cell consisting of four cells with alternating vias was also designed to produce a dual polarized metasurface. The simulation results yielded a radiation to AC efficiency of around 98% for each polarization.
