We present the design, fabrication and experimental demonstration of an electrically active absorber at microwave frequency. Unlike those proposed before, simulation and experiment data present that its working frequency and absorbing intensity can be both but separately controlled. The electromagnetic coupling analysis reveals that the feature arises from the dividable frequency and amplitude modulation on an active magnetic resonator controlled by varactor and pin diodes. Such separable modulating behaviors are further confirmed by the equivalent LC circuit model. It is believed that this will be an important step towards smart application of active absorber.
