This study introduces a novel metamaterial absorber operating in X-band frequency range, characterized by two resonating peaks. The proposed structure consist of four circular sectors connected by two cross resonators enclosed by a circular strip with the dielectric between them. FR4 is used as a substrate backed by a copper ground plane. Simulation results reveal that the reflection co-efficient remains consistently below -10dB across the entire X-band, ensuring effective absorption of incident electromagnetic waves. Moreover, the absorber achieves 100% absorptivity with the gain of -25dB under normal incidence. The validity of absorber performance is confirmed through impedance plot and Voltage Stand Waving Ration (VSWR) analysis, verifying the accuracy of S11 parameter. Furthermore, the proposed structure has a compact size of 0.1666 λ. The absorber’s robust performance validated through numerical analysis, positions it as a compelling candidate for various X-band applications, including radar systems, communication devices, and stealth technology. This research establishes the proposed metamaterial absorber as a promising solution for X-band electromagnetic wave attenuation needs, offering both superior performance and compact design.
