A dual-band absorber using monolayer periodically T-shaped slot-patterned graphene at terahertz frequencies is presented. By changing the dimensions or Fermi levels of the T-shaped slot-patterned graphene, both of the two absorption bands will be adjusted. The absorber has the characteristics of polarization independence and incident angle insensitivity. Also, its complementary structure, i.e., using periodically T-shaped strip-patterned graphene, is investigated to design another dual-band absorber. Moreover, two triband absorbers are studied through periodically loading four more T-shaped slots and complementary strips in square graphene lattices, respectively. This paper provides a significant paradigm for designing different graphene-based absorbers with multiple absorption bands.
A novel miniaturised dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) based on defected split-ring resonators (SRRs) and irregular stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) is proposed. By applying defected SRRs embedded with eight combinations of three whole or broken grooves, which are formerly used for divination, the passband of 2.35-2.52 GHz with wideband harmonic suppression is achieved for WLAN applications. To create one more passband of 5.09-5.3 GHz, the irregular SIRs are etched inside the defected SRRs. Finally, such a prototype is designed and fabricated with the dimension of only 20 × 20 mm 2 (0.27λ g × 0.27λ g). The measured results of this dual-band BPF agree well with the simulations verifying the proposed idea.
