The proposed wave absorber configured by 5×5 cells of AMC structure is designed on an FR4 epoxy dielectric substrate with the thickness of 1.6 mm. Each cell which is composed of a square patch has the dimension of 20.8 mm × 20.8 mm, hence the total dimension of AMC-based wave absorber is 104 mm × 104 mm. To gain a tunable frequency response with the optimum absorptivity, a varactor diode with varied DC bias voltage is incorporated midway along the square patch in parallel to the incident wave. The equivalent circuit of varactor diode is used to characterize the performance of proposed tunable AMC-based wave absorber. Prior characterizing the effect of varactor diode incorporation, parametric studies upon the characteristic of AMC-based wave absorber is investigated by incorporating some passive elements such as resistor and capacitor. The characterization results show that the frequency response of tunable AMC-based wave absorber can be tuned from the frequency of 1.55 GHz to 2.51 GHz which corresponds to the DC bias voltages variation of varactor diode from 10V to 0V.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Absorption characteristics,Artificial magnetic conductors,Dc bias voltage,Dielectric substrates,Electromagnetics,Parametric study,Passive elements,Varactor diodes[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Absorption,artificial magnetic conductor (AMC),tunability,varactor diode[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work is partially supported by the National Strategy Institution Research Program from the Ministry of Research and Technology/National Research and Innovation Agency, the Republic of Indonesia, FY2020, under contract No. 042/PNLT2/PPM/2020 and No. 25/E1/KPT/2020.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICRAMET51080.2020.9298570[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
