The demand for optically transparent microwave absorbers has attracted increasing interest among researchers in recent years. However, integrating broadband microwave absorption and high optical transparency remains a challenge. This report demonstrates a scheme for broadband microwave absorbers, featuring a 90% absorption bandwidth of 10 GHz covering a frequency range of 25.2–35.2 GHz and high compatibility with good optical transparency in a wide band from the visible to infrared. The absorber is based on a Jaumann structure composed of two graphene sheets sandwiched by dielectric and backed by an arrayed-metallic-rings sheet. Guided by derived formulas, this absorber exhibits complete absorption if the sheet resistance of graphene is close to 500 Ω sq–1. The bandwidth and center frequency of the absorption spectra can be readily tuned simply via changes in the thickness of the dielectric between the graphene films and arrayed-metallic-rings sheet. Moreover, the absorber is insensitive to the incident angle of radiation and can achieve broadband and near-unity absorption even at oblique incidence. The graphene-based absorber proposed herein provides a viable solution for effectively integrating broadband and near-unity microwave absorption with high optical transparency, thereby enabling widespread applications in optics, communications, and solar cells.
