Abstract

A new triangular metamaterials (TMMs) is designed for electromagnetic (EM) absorption reduction at microwave frequencies in this paper. The reduction of EM absorption with a new TMMs attachment is investigated in this research. The finite-difference time-domain method with lossy-Drude model is adopted in this investigation. The method of EM reduction is presented and the effects of position, distance, and size of metamaterials are analyzed. TMMs have achieved a 1.0923 W/kg for SAR 1 gm which is 45.44% reduction of the initial SAR value for the case of 1 gm SAR.
