Abstract
This paper explores the possibility to create 3D printed multilayer electromagnetic absorbers. The proposed design is similar to the thin-film filters used in optics and consists of interleaving high and low permittivity layers. Based on transmission line theory, the multilayer absorber can be designed in a circuit simulator. Analytical equations, circuit simulations, and measurements are used to analyze and validate the designed absorber. Multilayer absorbers based on 3D printed material can be an inexpensive option for engineering usage with great design flexibility and fast fabrication.
