In this paper, we simulate and experimentally validate a polarization-independent transmission absorption metamaterial absorber based on electromagnetic resonance. The metamaterial absorber can absorb the high-frequency electromagnetic wave, and the low-frequency wave can transmit through the absorber. The tested results indicate that the metamaterial absorber can achieve a narrow bandwidth high absorption with a peak absorption of 83.6% at 6.77 GHz, and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 4.3%. To further broaden the absorption bandwidth of the resonant metamaterial absorber, we place two absorbers with different working frequencies together for its low-frequency transmitted characteristic. The measured data show that the composite metamaterial absorber can increase the FWHM to 10.9%, and can enhance the absorption slightly. The metamaterial absorber has some advantages, such as simple design, strong practicability, and important application foreground.
