In this paper, a simple, fast, and novel method for designing a tunable terahertz absorber with arbitrary central frequency and desired fractional bandwidth is presented. The proposed absorber consists of a single layer periodic array of graphene ribbons (PAGRs), placed a quarter wavelength from a metallic ground, separated by a dielectric material. An analytical circuit model of the terahertz absorber is used to obtain analytical expressions for the input impedance of the proposed device. Then, a simple expression for determining the value of capacitance and the resonance conditions of the RLC circuit is used to achieve a terahertz absorber with arbitrary central frequency and desired fractional bandwidth. The proposed method is applicable for the design of both narrowband and broadband absorbers, with only one layer of graphene ribbons. Also, the presented method is applicable for designing ultra-wideband absorbers using multiple layered PAGRs. Full-wave numerical simulation is performed to verify the accuracy and validity of the presented method. Excellent performance of the proposed method in terms of computation time and memory resource and providing the desired terahertz absorber characteristics shows that our method is promising as a design approach for sensing, imaging and filtering applications.
