In the 1930s, there had been RAM that was used in the antenna field. A fter 1950s, there had been Salisbury screen [2], Dallenbach and Jaumann absorber [3] with fast development of radar technology. These c onventional absorbing structures have been widely used in the fields of electromagnetic interference, electro magnetic compatibility and radar cross section control techniques. The Salisbury screen consists of a single resistive sheet mounted at a distance of λ/4 above a metal-backed plane. The Salisbury screen is a resonant radar absorbing structure, whose surface impedance matches well with free space at certain frequency. The tunable microwave absorber [4, 5] could control its reflectiv ity response according to threatened frequency, in order to obtain the optimal absorbing capability at its threatened frequency. T. K. Chang [6] presented that the active frequency selective surface (FSS) was made by placing PIN diodes on the FSS, and the response of the active FSS could be controlled by adjusting the bias voltage or current in PIN d iodes. B. Chambers [7] designed a singlelayer tunable microwave absorber using an active FSS. Measured results proved that this absorber did well in 913GHz, and the reflective response could be adjusted. For instance, Zhao et al. [8] designed a tunable metamaterial absorber using varactor diodes, which has a bandwidth of 1.5 GHz with the absorption rate more than 90% when the bias voltage changes from 0 to −19V. In this paper, we present an AFSS absorber using PIN diodes embedded between adjacent resonant units; the reflective amp litude can be tuned continuously by adjusting the current of diodes. In this paper, a sample of tunable micro wave absorber was designed and manufactured. This work is important for target camouflage and other microwave applications in the future. 2. Structure and preformances Fig. 1 shows the structure of the proposed AFSS absorber. The top layer is the AFSS loaded with PIN d iodes, which is printed on a FR4 dielectric substrate, and the thickness of the copper is 18μm. The second layer is a FR4 dielectric substrate, which has a relative permittiv ity of 2.2 and a thickness of 1.5mm. The bottom layer is a metal backboard.
