This paper proposes a three-dimensional metamaterial absorber based on a resistive film patch array to develop a low-cost, lightweight absorber for curved surfaces. An excellent absorption over a large frequency band is achieved through two different yet controllable mechanisms; In the first mechanism, a considerable attenuation in the wave power is achieved via graphite resistive films. The absorption is then intensified through magnetic dipoles created by the surface currents, leading to absorption peaks. The simulation results of the absorber show that a broadband absorption greater than 85% is achieved over 35 to 400 GHz for both TE and TM polarization waves at normal incidence. The structure has more than 167% and 80% absorption bandwidth above 85% and 90%, respectively. It is shown that the proposed metamaterial absorber is independent of incident wave polarization. In addition, the structure is insensitive to incident angle up to 60˚ for TE mode and full range angle 90˚for TM mode. To describe the physical mechanism of the absorber, E-field, power loss density and surface current distributions on the structure are calculated and shown. Moreover, the oblique incidence absorption efficiency is also explained. This absorber paves the way for practical applications, such as sensing, imaging and stealth technology. In addition, the proposed structure can be extended to terahertz, infrared and optical regions.
