The work presented in this paper concerns a method for the miniaturized frequency selective surface (FSS) based on the meander lines. A miniaturized dual-bandstop FSS structure based on meander lines with spiral-shape is proposed and simulated. The equivalent circuit and current distributions are introduced to explain the FSS performance. The size of the unit cell is 10 mm, which is about 0.037 wavelength at the first resonant frequency. Simulation results indicate that the proposed FSS has a frequency shift smaller than 1% for different polarizations with an oblique incident angle of 60°. A prototype of the FSS is fabricated and measured. The measurement results show that the FSS is polarization-insensitive and angle-insensitive.

A compact frequency selective surface (FSS) for 5G applications has been designed based on 2.5-dimensional Jerusalem cross. The proposed element consists of two main parts: the successive segments of the metal traces placed alternately on the two surfaces of the substrate and the vertical vias connecting traces. Compared with previous published two-dimensional miniaturized elements, the transmission curves indicate a significant size reduction (1/26 wavelengths at the resonant frequency) and exhibit good angular and polarization stabilities. Furthermore, a general equivalent circuit model is established to provide direct physical insight into the operating principle of this FSS. A prototype of the proposed FSS has been fabricated and measured, and the results validate this design.

Abstract In this paper, a miniaturized bandstop frequency selective surface (FSS) with high angular stability is presented. Each FSS element consists of four sets each consisting eight octagonal concentric interconnected loops. The four sets are connected with each other through outermost octagonal loop. The unit size is miniaturized to 0.066 λ0 at the resonant frequency of 1.79 GHz. The proposed configuration achieves excellent angular stability (only 0.025 GHz resonant frequency deviation is observed upto 83° oblique angles). The working mechanism of FSS is explained with the help of equivalent circuit model (ECM), electric field distribution, and corresponding surface current distribution. A prototype of the designed bandstop FSS is fabricated to verify the simulated frequency response. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results. Simple geometry, low profile, high angular stability, and compact cell size are prominent features of the proposed structure.

Abstract Using 2.5-dimension structure, a novel miniaturized dual-band FSS with closely spaced resonances is proposed in the paper. The special design of the geometry contributes to two closely spaced resonances at 1.69 GHz and 2.16 GHz respectively and the frequency ratio of upper to the lower resonant frequency is 1.27. Besides, the two bands can be controlled individually by varying corresponding parameters. The size of the proposed FSS is only 0.057λ0, where the λ0 represents free space wavelength at lower resonant band. Furthermore, the simulation results show the proposed FSS exhibits stable response with different incident angles and polarizations. To understand the design better, the distribution of surface current is analyzed to explain the operating mechanism of the proposed FSS. Finally, the proposed FSS is fabricated and the measurement results are in accordance with the simulation results.

Abstract A novel single-layer dual-band miniaturized frequency selective surface (FSS) based on fractal structures is proposed and analyzed in this paper. A prototype with enough dimensions is fabricated and measured in anechoic chamber, and the measured results provide good agreement with the simulated. The simulations and measurements indicate that the dual-band FSS with bandstop selectivity center at 3.95 GHz and 7.10 GHz, and the whole dimension of the proposed FSS cell is only 7×7 mm2, amount to 0.092λ0×0.092λ0, that λ0 is free space wavelength at first resonant frequency. In addition, the center frequencies have scarcely any changes for different polarizations and incidences. What’s more, dual-band mechanism is analyzed clearly and it provides a new way to design novel miniaturized FSS structures.
