Abstract

In this paper, the possible realization of the electromagnetic (EM) absorber as a thin metasurface is considered. The metasurface is based on establishing a passive surface of electric and magnetic currents using the Huygen’s principle. So, the absorber is named Huygens Absorber (HA). The metasurface can be designed using split meander lines with spiral rings. In this way, both sides of the substrate must be patterned to obtain electric and magnetic currents. In this paper, it is shown that the currents can be obtained using appropriate cells based on bi-anisotropic media theory. It is shown that to obtain a normal absorber, appropriate omega particles can be used. It is worth noting that the proposed absorber does not need any lossy material to absorb the waves which is a unique and excellent property of this kind of absorber. It is a thin groundless surface which makes it possible to design a double-sided metasurface.

Following points are to be considering before sending the letters (comments) to the editor.

[1] Letters that include statements of statistics, facts, research, or theories should include appropriate references, although more than three are discouraged.

[2] Letters that are personal attacks on an author rather than thoughtful criticism of the author’s ideas will not be considered for publication.

[3] Letters can be no more than 300 words in length.

[4] Letter writers should include a statement at the beginning of the letter stating that it is being submitted either for publication or not.

[5] Anonymous letters will not be considered.

[6] Letter writers must include their city and state of residence or work.

[7] Letters will be edited for clarity and length.
