In this paper, the absorbing property of metal-cross shaped metamaterial dihedral (MCMD) and cross-cross shaped metamaterial dihedral (CCMD) with the same parameters are investigated. In TE mode, the absorptivities are 91.1% at 9.17 GHz for MCMD and 99.7% at 9.20 GHz for CCMD. For MCMD and CCMD, the absorptivities are 90.5% and 99.8% at 9.2 and 9.17 GHz respectively for the TM polarized incident wave. The results of simulation and measurement show that CCMD has better multi-band absorption performance and lower radar cross-section than MCMD. Experiments have demonstrated the reflection coeffic...
