This paper reports a multiband Yagi-Uda shaped metamaterial absorber (YUMA) operating in X- and Ku-band of the microwave regime with added functionalities miniaturization, polarization controllability wide incidence angle stability. The proposed YUMA shows three distinctive near-unity absorption peaks corresponding to 10.64 GHz, 12.08 14.09 GHz frequencies. was analyzed under different oblique angles for transverse electric (TE)-mode rotation top metasurface. results showed that possesses multifunctional characteristics such as controllability, comparison simulated measured further demonstrates can be potential candidate detection systems transmissive polarizers. have uses several other applications, air traffic control, weather monitoring, military radar, satellite communication.
