Abstract
In this paper, we propose a textile metamaterial absorber that using screen printing technology. A unit cell of the proposed absorber is motivated from the commercial Chanel logo for wearable applications. The complex impedance of the designed unit cell is analyzed by full-wave simulation. To verify its performance, the proposed metamaterial absorber is fabricated where the silver conductive ink is screen printed on an ordinary textile. From experimental results, the absorptivity of the proposed absorber is around 93 % at 10.8 GHz under normal incidence.
