Abstract

Metamaterials, which are called as left-handed materials, exhibit electromagnetic properties that do not exist in nature, such as negative refractive index and reverse Doppler effect, at the frequency range for which they are designed. These unique properties of metamaterials have made them indispensable in a wide variety of applications such as sensor applications, signal absorption, antenna, and energy harvesting. In this study, the design and analysis of a metamaterial (MTM) perfect absorber at 5 GHz frequency band were performed to investigate the usability of the proposed structure in energy harvesting applications. The results of the study revealed that the proposed MTM structure has potentials to be used in energy harvesting applications.
