The purpose of this research is to provide a thorough design and analysis of vanadium dioxide (VO2)-based THz metamaterial absorbers. The three-layer designs of the proposed metamaterial absorbers (MMAs) include a radiating element of vanadium dioxide (VO2) with 0.2 μm thick, a dielectric substrate of polyimide with a dielectric constant of 3.5, and a ground conducting layer of gold (Au) with an electrical conductivity of 4.56e + 07 S/m to prevent electromagnetic wave propagation. The overall size of the proposed structure is 34 x 36 x 7.4 μm3. The two absorption peak frequencies at which the unit cell MMA operates are 4.4 THz and 9.68 THz. The maximum absorption percentages in the operating frequency ranges are 96 % and 98 %, and they span from 4 to 4.8 THz and 9.5 to 11.4 THz respectively. It is highly advantageous to comprehend the conductive phenomena of the VO2 radiating patch to achieve a high percentage absorption for the relevant absorption frequency band. Moreover, the insensitivity of absorptance to the polarization angle is verified. Additionally, parametric analysis is performed for various design parameters on the absorption response of suggested absorber. Furthermore, the impact of polarization angle on absorbance for TE and TM modes is presented. The prescribed dual band terahertz absorber could be suitable for cloaking, imaging, detection and electromagnetic shielding. |
