Abstrakt: An ultrawideband reflectionless metamaterial absorber (MA) is proposed by replacing the metallic ground with the complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) structure. The proposed MA exhibits -10 dB reflectivity spectrum from 1 GHz to 20 GHz, which maintains more than 90% absorption from 1.5 GHz to 20 GHz. Furthermore, it achieves angle stability for TE and TM polarization at oblique incident angles up to 40° and 65°, respectively. To achieve broadband absorption spectrum, we have adopted a single-layer high-impedance surface (HIS) loaded with a double-layer magnetic material (MM) structure. To further realize the RCS reduction into a lower frequency range, we have employed the scattering cancellation technology into the traditional metallic ground. Finally, we have fabricated a sample exhibiting the 10 dB RCS reduction from 1 GHz to 20 GHz with a thickness of 10 mm. Measurement and simulation results confirm that the proposed MA exhibits excellent comprehensive performance, making it suitable for many practical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
