Abstract:
This paper presents a new method for designing circuit analog (CA) multi-layer absorbers using modern genetic algorithm (GA). The GA automatically synthesizes the EM parameters and thickness of each layer and the parameters of the metal circuit screen provide several design schemes simultaneously. But when using the GA in designing extraordinary wide band absorbers, its iterative process will go to fluctuation and give some bad results within the band. For overcoming these drawbacks, two techniques are introduced to GA program, and the operating performance is improved obviously. The new method shows that it is of high design efficiency and of easy use. The design examples also show that in the absorber without metal base cases, the characteristics of CA absorbers are much superior than ordinary designs, which give low reflection within very wide band with a thinner thickness and less materials used.
