Here, CNT film strips supported on polyethylene terephthalate nonwoven substrates were assembled into multilayer absorbers through multilevel structural regulation. Low-permittivity interlayers and repeating CNT-containing layers are first introduced to balance electromagnetic-wave entry and internal attenuation along the thickness direction. The CNT-covered area in the CNT layer is then reduced from 100% to approximately 67% and 50%. Full coverage of CNTs in such layers provides strong attenuation but unfavorable impedance matching, whereas 50% coverage improves wave entry but produces insufficient broadband dissipation. Among the investigated coverage levels, an intermediate CNT coverage of approximately 67% provided the most favorable compromise between the calculated input-impedance condition and dielectric attenuation. Two complementary patterns with the same fraction of coverage are subsequently alternately stacked to reduce the through-thickness alignment of CNT-free regions and redistribute the CNT-rich regions. The optimized absorber achieves reflection loss below −10 dB over the entire 2–18 GHz range, corresponding to a continuous effective absorption bandwidth of 16.0 GHz.
