material for space applications. Absorber design is based on high impedance surfaces
loaded with resistors and known as a resistive high impedance surface (RHIS). The
behavior of RHIS is analyzed at normal and oblique incidences for TE and TM polarizations.
Prototypes have been realized and measured. Final design has a reflection coefficient less
than--15 dB in S-Band (2–2.3 GHz) at normal incidence and till an angular dispersion of 40 …
