| Summary: | Nowadays, the resources of roofing materials are abundant, which are the essential materials to build houses. It is of great significance to develop the roofing material with absorbing function for shielding electromagnetic radiation. This study is conducted to design a corrugated bamboo roofing microwave absorber that can absorb electromagnetic wave for frequencies 1 to 12 GHz. Three types of roofing bamboo with different designs namely Model A, Model B and Model C has been developed. The size of all types of proposed roofing bamboo is 60 cm width x 60 cm in length. The design is simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio software. The arch method is used to analyse microwave absorber performance. It contains of a wooden structure in the shape of semi-circular for enabling the proper positioning towards transmitting and receiving the two horn antennas. Bamboo can be used as an absorbent material. The expected result for bamboo roofing microwave absorber is to get a high performance of microwave absorption which is above 20 dB. The third model or Model C has recorded the highest value of an absorption level. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
