A design method of five-band polarization-insensitive metamaterial absorber (MMA) based on the slotted structures and the magnetic rubber is proposed for L-, S-, C-, X-, and Ku-band applications. The slotted structures of the top layer, which evolved from two square rings, are used to excite multi-resonance. The range of the electromagnetic (EM) parameters of a magnetic rubber substrate, which is used to adjust the equivalent impedance of the absorber to match the free space impedance in different bands, is estimated using the impedance matching principle.
