An elliptic band pass response three-dimensional Frequency Selective Surface (3D FSS) is designed from a single unit cell of 2D array of two shielded microstrip lines. The designed FSS provides pseudo-elliptic band-pass frequency response (5.4 – 9.6) GHz with its application in long-distance radio telecommunications and space communications etc. The four transmission zeros at 5.4GHz, 9.6GHz, 12.4GHz and 15GHz provides wide out-of-band frequency rejection. The 3D FSS is independent of the variations in the incident angle of the plane wave up to 60 degree. Each unit cell is a combination of two shielded microstrip lines with one having an air gap and the other one having in between rectangular metallic plate. When a TE polarized plane wave incidents perpendicular to the perfect electric conductor (PEC) boundary walls shielded microstrip lines, it results in two quasi-TEM modes namely air and substrate mode. The 3D FSS consists of multiple resonators with a multimode cavity having number of propagating modes. These resonating modes in phase provide transmission poles and when out of phase give transmission zeros. The 3D FSS structure is simulated using Ansys HFSS software with improved performance over 2DFSS, for many practical applications such as antenna sub-reflector, radomes and spatial filters.

AbstractIn this paper, a sandwiched type frequency selective surface (FSS) is designed and analyzed. The design procedure and operating principle is given based on the equivalent circuit model. The proposed FSS includes two identical layers of periodic metallic arrays, which are separated by a foam layer. In each layer of the periodic array, the unit cell is composed of a gridded-triple square loop structure. The FSS provides three pass-bands, in which a flat band response is presented. Three bands are separated by one or two transmission zeros, which leads to a sharp rejection on both sides of each pass-band. The central frequencies of the three pass-bands are 7.0, 10.9 and 14.0 GHz. To verify the simulated results, a prototype of the FSS is fabricated and measured. The simulated results agree well with the measured ones. This work can be used in area of a radar stealth or satellite communication system.

A low profile multi layer miniaturized unit cell frequency selective surface (FSS) with second-order band-pass response is design. The metallic layers in the form of capacitive patches and inductive grids are separated by dielectric substrates. The non-resonant sub-wavelength unit cells with unit cell dimensions and periodicities on the order of 0.15λ. The overall thickness of approximately 0.03λ is designed which is useful at lower frequencies with long wavelengths. The FSS exhibit a stable frequency response to different angles of incidence and polarizations. The analysis and synthesis of the FSS is done using equivalent circuit method and simulated using CST microwave studio at X-band.

We present a third-order bandpass three-dimensional frequency selective surface (3D FSS) with multiple transmission zeros in this paper. The unit cell of the proposed 3D FSS consists of an air-filled square waveguide and a cuboid dielectric block with three concentric metallic square loops. Due to its inner electromagnetic coupling in the unit cell, this FSS provides a flat passband with three transmission poles, a wide out-of-band rejection with three transmission zeros, and high frequency selectivity. In order to explain the working principle, an equivalent circuit model is established and investigated. Finally, an FSS prototype is fabricated and measured, and the results exhibit good stability for both TE and TM polarizations under incident angles from 0° to 50°. Besides, this FSS has a relatively compact unit cell.

Abstract A single-layer miniaturized tri-band frequency selective surface (FSS) for bandstop filtering applications has been proposed in this work. The metallic layer with four-branched meandered pattern connected in the center is engraved on a dielectric FR-4 substrate. The three stopbands operating at 2.6, 5.6, and 7.1 GHz provides −10 dB bandwidth of 437, 447, and 552 MHz respectively. The size of the unit cell is 0.067 λ∘ × 0.067 λ∘, where λ∘ is the wavelength of the first resonance frequency. As a figure of merit, the symmetric FSS structure provides the advantage of polarization independence. The proposed compact FSS structure exhibits a stable angular response up to 60° in TE and TM mode. Moreover, measurements obtained from the fabricated prototype are compared with the simulated results and are found to be in close agreement.

In this paper, inspired from the technique of patch–aperture–patch, a novel tri-band frequency selective surface with second-order band-pass response in each operation band is presented. The design is implemented by cascading a two-dimensional periodic array of three square loops and an array of wire grids. The proposed structure composed of three metal and two dielectric layers acts as a spatial dual band microwave filter with large band separation. The predicted FSS has the merits of broadband response, excellent stability for different incident angles, and sharp roll-off at X-, Ku- and K-band, respectively. The simulation and measurement are carried out and discussed. The measured results agree well with the simulated ones.

We propose a miniaturized band-pass frequency selective surface (FSS) with periodic unit cell structure. The proposed FSS is realized by symmetrically bending the edges of the square loop aperture element, by which our proposed FSS increases the resonant length, and, hence, reduces its size. In this FSS, each unit cell has a dimension of 0.0538λ × 0.0538λ, whereλrepresents the wavelength of the corresponding resonant frequency. Both the theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that our proposed FSS, having high polarization stability and angle stability, can achieve smaller size in comparison with the previously proposed structures.

A single layer novel compact frequency selective surface which is used in reflector antenna is designed and simulated. The proposed unit cell reflects electromagnetic waves in K and Ka band with maximum reflection occurring at 22.62 GHz and 35.44 GHz respectively. The designed FSS find its application in satellite communication. A crossed dipole structure in center and two-legged structure in corners with square loop in each quadrant makes the FSS unit cell structure. The FSS is designed with oblique incidence for transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarization with return loss 0.3 dB in 22.62 GHz and less than 0.5 dB in 35.44 GHz. The proposed work shows frequency independence against oblique angle of incidence. The simulated result from CST microwave studio is compared with other similar works.
