Abstract

We present an analytical model to study the reflection properties of a multilayered wire media loaded with 2-D arrays of thin imperfect conductors. Based on charge conservation, generalized additional boundary conditions (ABCs) for the interface of two uniaxial wire mediums loaded with thin arbitrary imperfect conductors at the junction are derived. It is observed that by proper selection of the structural parameters, the mushroom structure acts as a wideband absorber for an obliquely incident TM-polarized plane wave. The presented model along with the new ABCs are validated using the full-wave numerical simulations.
