This paper presents a water-based metasurface absorber capable of ultra-broadband absorption in both microwave and infrared radiation, with potential applications in EM radiation prevention, stealth technology, and energy harvesting. The absorber achieves over 90% polarization-insensitive and wide-angle absorption from 7.2 to 100 GHz, with a relative bandwidth of 173%. It also offers tunable absorption and infrared radiation with thermally tunable absorption, making it suitable for practical shaped structures in both civil and military domains.
Promising microwave ultra-broadband water-based metasurface absorbers have attracted increasing attention due to their novel applications in EM radiation prevention, stealth technology, and energy harvesting. In this paper, the proposed water-based metasurface absorber, composed of mushroom-shaped and layer-shaped water with resin shell, can reach over 90% polarization-insensitive and wide-angle absorption from 7.2 to 100 GHz with a relative bandwidth of 173%. Moreover, the proposed absorber is reconfigurable to control the water content, salinity, and type of inside liquid for tunable absorption and infrared radiation with thermally tunable absorption. Since the experimental and simulated ultra-broadband absorption originates from multiple resonances concentrated on the top, the ground-free all-dielectric design is achieved. Furthermore, the proposed curved absorber is fabricated and demonstrated for omnidirectional absorption. The water-based metasurface absorber shows great potential in achieving both microwave and infrared radiation camouflage for practical shaped structures in both civil and military domains.
