This study focused on the radome and proposed an absorber with a meta-dome structure for ultra-wideband radar absorption using an FR-4 dielectric material on the metasurface absorber for protection. In addition to protecting the absorber, the metasurface absorber exhibited ultra-wideband frequency absorptivity from radar signals, with an absorptivity band from 4.6–12 GHz, including the C and X frequency bands of radar signals. A wide incidence angle should also be considered in addition to the absorption frequency band. Experimental results were obtained for all polarization angles at normal incidence for 5–14 GHz. Sensitivity to incident angle from 0° to 40° in the transverse electric mode and 0° to 60° in the transverse magnetic mode were observed. The proposed concept was demonstrated using full-wave simulation and experimental measurements.
