- Abstract: In this letter, an optically transparent and broadband absorber designed using a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is proposed. The absorption of the multilayer lossy frequency selective surface based absorber is calculated by multilayer absorption equations and equivalent circuit models. To solve the problem of the unbalanced structure absorption bandwidth and thickness, an algorithm is used for optimizing the geometric and sheet resistance parameters of the structure. A multilayer and optically transparent absorber with 90% absorption bandwidth covering a frequency range of 2-18 GHz (S-band to Ku-band) is developed based on the MOGA design method with optical transmittance of 60%. Its total thickness consists of a wavelength of only 0.095 and it has high oblique incidence stability, which makes it useful in the stealth technology and transparent electromagnetic shielding applications.
