We demonstrate a thermally controlled ultra-wideband wide incident angle metamaterial absorber with switchable transmission at the THz band in this paper. The underlying hybrid structure of FSS-VO thin films make them switchable between absorption mode and transmission mode by controlling the temperature. It can achieve ultra-wideband absorption with above 90% absorption from 1 THz to 10 THz and exhibits excellent absorption performance under a wide range of incident and polarization angles at a high temperature (80 °C). At room temperature (27 °C), it acts in transmission mode with a transmission coefficient of up to 60% at 3.1278 THz. The transmission region is inside the absorption band, which is very important for practical applications. The metamaterial absorber has the advantage of easy fabrication, an ultra-wideband, a wide incident angle, switchable multi-functions, and passivity with wide application prospects on terahertz communication and radar devices.

Concurrently achieving lightweight, multifunctionality, excellent environmental adaptability, and broadband microwave absorption represents the inevitable trend in the development of microwave absorbing materials. Herein, an ultralight, elastic, multifunctional chitosan-based aerogel enhanced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon fibers (CF) at micro-/macroscale is reported, and its super-efficiency microwave absorption is realized by the electromagnetic metastructure absorbers (EMAs) design. The resulting CF-C/C aerogel demonstrates ultra-low shrinkage (6.

In complex electromagnetic environments, such as substations, converter stations in power systems, and the compartments of aircraft, trains, and automobiles, electromagnetic immunity testing is crucial. It requires that the electric field sensor has features such as a large dynamic measurement range (amplitude from hundreds of V/m to tens of kV/m), a fast response speed (response time in the order of nanoseconds or sub-nanoseconds), a wide test bandwidth (DC to 1 GHz even above), miniaturization, and robustness to strong electromagnetic interference. This paper introduces a multi-channel, ultra-wideband transient electric field measurement system.

This study presents a novel pseudospin-polarized waveguide with closed boundaries, designed using complementary metasurfaces with dual surface impedances. By enforcing electromagnetic duality, the proposed structure establishes mirror reflection symmetry, significantly reducing backscattering and ensuring robust one-way wave propagation. The waveguide effectively suppresses backward-propagating modes, even in the presence of bends and structural discontinuities, making it a highly stable and efficient platform for guided-wave applications.

This article presents the design of a novel ultra-wideband, thin metamaterial linear cross-polarization converter (CPC) operating at microwave frequencies. The CPC consists of two concentric deformed rings on a dielectric substrate backed by a metallic surface. It demonstrates co-polarization and cross-polarization reflection coefficients below - 11 and above - 1.
