Aims & Scope: Absorbers/rasorbers are kinds of periodic surfaces with versatile capabilities to absorb incoming electromagnetic waves, which have wide applications in defense stealth, scatter cross-section reduction, and electromagnetic interference mitigation. Absorbers aim to reduce the backscattering throughout a certain frequency band, while rasorbers are inserting a transmission band within the absorption band. Rasorbers are also called absorptive frequency selective transmission structures. The transmission band may be replaced by a reflection band, this new structure is termed an absorptive frequency selective reflection structure. One of the main applications of absorbers/rasobers is reducing the scatter cross-section of antennas while the radiation performance of the antennas should still be maintained or even enhanced. This special section aims to bring together leading experts from the fields of engineering, physics, and material science, to share their recent research findings with regard to absorbing materials and their applications in electromagnetic devices. This special section is intended to collect the recent advances in absorbers/rasorbers and their applications on antennas and EMC to present new design approaches or inspire new applications in the field of applied electromagnetics.
