In this paper, we propose a novel dual-band metasurface absorber with a high frequency ratio based on graphene. By carefully designing a centrally symmetrical graphene pattern and positioning it on a glass medium, while utilizing ITO as a ground, the metasurface absorber achieves remarkable high frequency ratio microwave absorption. Specifically, this metasurface absorber exhibits two distinct resonance points at 3.7 GHz and 14 GHz, with an impressive frequency ratio over 3.5. It achieves over 90% absorption efficiency in the frequency ranges of 3.5–4.5 GHz and 13.5–14.5 GHz, highlighting its capability to effectively absorb microwaves across widely spaced frequency bands. Furthermore, the metasurface absorber demonstrates optical transparency and polarization insensitivity, adding to its versatility and potential applications. The measured results of the fabricated prototype validate its design and potential for practical use.
