Abstract

The effective use of natural resources generates eco-friendly and biodegradable material for the future sustainability of society. In the quest for proper waste management, the present study proposes a dried banana leaves-based composite single-layer microwave absorber at a very low thickness of 1.50 mm in the frequency range of 1–20 GHz. The lossy character, as well as dielectric constant and conductivity of dried banana leaves, is found to increase with the increase of charcoal content and subsequently improve the absorption performance of the absorber. The dielectric properties and S11 parameters of the samples are measured using OCP (open-ended coaxial probe) method. The CST microwave studio (CST MWS) is also used to design the proposed absorber. The reflection loss attains the higher peak value of − 25.92 dB at 3.337 GHz with an absorption of 99.74%. The proposed microwave absorbing material can be used to develop an anechoic chamber and a low-cost substrate for designing an antenna.
