In this paper, we design and fabricat a polarization-independent dual-directional metamaterial absorber. The simulation results indicate that the absorber keeps good absorbing performance in a wide incidence angles for both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarization, and that the high absorption is due to the dielectric loss of substrates. The experimental results indicate that the absorber achieves dual-directional high absorption at normal incidence, and that the peak absorptions are 95.9% and 90.8%, respectively. The metamaterial absorber is very thin, and its thickness is approximately 1/34 of the working wavelength. The metamaterial absorber has many advantages such as high absorption, small thickness, simple design and easy processing.
