Passive highly dispersive matching network enabling broadband electromagnetic absorption by Pardha S. Nayani, Morteza Moradi, Pooria Salami, Younes Ra’di

“…Absorbers developed to date, irrespective of their operational frequency range or material thickness, significantly underperform when compared to this upper bound, failing to exploit the full potential that passive, linear, and time-invariant systems can provide. Here, we introduce a new concept for designing ultra-thin absorbers that enables absorbing layers with a record-high bandwidth-to-thickness ratio, potentially several times greater than that of absorbers designed using conventional approaches. …”
