We present a novel strategy for designing a dual-band absorber based on graphene metasurface for terahertz frequencies. The absorber consists of a two-dimensional array of patches deposited on a metal-backed dielectric layer. Using an analytical circuit model, we obtain closed-form relatinos for the geometrical parameters of the absorber and the properties of the applied materials to achieve the dual-band absorber. Two absorption bands with perfect absorption at the preset frequencies of 0.5 and 1.5 THz are achieved. The results obtained by the analytical circuit model are compared to the simulations carried out by full-wave electromagnetic field analysis. The agreement between results is very good. We demonstrate that the graphene absorber remains as the dual band for a wide range of the chemical potential. Furthermore, the recommended dual band absorber is insensitive in terms of polarization and remain within various incident angles.
