This study introduces a hybrid metamaterial absorber composed of graphene films and conventional magnetic absorbing materials, designed for wideband absorption performance at ultra-low frequencies. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the design method, highlighting its lightweight and environmentally adaptable engineering value.
Developing high-efficiency microwave absorbers remains challenging in the broad-band range, particularly in the low-frequency range containing the L band and even lower. To overcome this challenge, a hybrid metamaterial absorber comprising a conventional magnetic absorbing material and a multi-layered meta-structure predesigned with graphene films is proposed to realize wideband absorption performance starting from ultra-low frequencies (0.79-20.9 GHz and 25.1-40.0 GHz). The high absorption ability of the proposed device originates from fundamental resonance modes and their coupling. The experimental results agree well with the simulated ones, proving the effectiveness of our design method. In addition, owing to the use of low-density polymethylacrylimide foam and graphene films with outstanding mechanical properties, our design is lightweight and environmentally adaptable, which reflects its engineering value.
