A broadband linear-to-circular transmission polarizer using a right-angled frequency selective surface is presented in this paper. The new proposed polarizer has both advantages of wide operational bandwidth and high transmission coefficients. To verify the design, a new polarizer working in X-band is optimized and fabricated. Experimental results show that the measured axial ratios lower than 3 dB range from 6.42 to 13.70 GHz, with low insertion loss. Meanwhile, the polarizer can operate over a broad range of frequencies from 6.75 to 10.75 GHz, when the incident angle increases to 25°.

In high-power microwave applications, the electromagnetic-thermal effect of frequency selective surface (FSS) cannot be ignored. In this paper, the electromagnetic-thermal coupling effects of cross-slot FSS were studied. We used an equivalent circuit method and CST software to analyze the electromagnetic characteristics of cross-slot FSS. Then, we used multi-field simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics to study the thermal effect of the FSSs. To verify the simulation results, we used a horn antenna with a power of 20 W to radiate the FSSs and obtain the stable temperature distribution of the FSSs. By using simulations and experiments, it is found that the maximum temperature of the cross-slot FSS appears in the middle of the cross slot. It is also found that the FSS with a narrow slot has severer thermal effect than that with a wide slot. In addition, the effects of different incident angles on the temperature variation of FSS under TE and TM polarization were also studied. It is found that in TE polarization, with the increase in incident angle, the maximum stable temperature of FSS increases gradually. In TM polarization, with the increase in incident angle, the maximum stable temperature of FSS decreases gradually.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies have attained attention to monitor civil structures. SHM sensor systems have been used in various civil structures such as bridges, buildings, tunnels and so on. However the previous sensor for SHM is wired and encounter with problem to cover large areas. Therefore, wireless sensor was introduced for SHM to reduce network connecting problem. Wireless sensors for Structural Health monitoring are new technology and have many advantages to overcome the drawback of conventional and wired sensor. This project proposed passive wireless SHM sensor using frequency selective surface (FSS) as an alternative to conventional sensors. The electromagnetic wave characteristic of FSS will change by geometrical changes of FSS due to mechanical strain or structural failure. The changes feature is used as a sensing function without any connecting wires. Two type of design which are circular ring and square loop along with the transmission and reflection characteristics of SHM using FSS were discussed in this project. A simulation process has shown that incident angle characteristics can be use as a data for SHM application.

In this article, a wideband, polarization-insensitive, and wide-incident-angle stable absorber based on conductive ink frequency selective surface is presented. The presented absorber is compatible with screen printing technology. The design and absorption principle of the proposed absorber is presented, and simulation analysis is conducted. The simulation results show that in the frequency range 6.58–16.38 GHz, the absorptivity of the proposed absorber is greater than 90%, while the relative absorption bandwidth is 85.4%. The whole absorber structure is relatively thin, having a total thickness of 3.3 mm, corresponding to 0.126λ0 at its center frequency. In addition, for both transverse electric and transverse magnetic incident waves, the proposed absorber achieves the absorptivity of more than 80% at the incident angle of up to 45°. A prototype of the proposed absorber is fabricated and used in experimental verification. The obtained experimental results show a good agreement with the numerical simulations. This absorber has great potential applications in the field of microwave sensing and absorbing.

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.

A miniaturized frequency selective rasorber (FSR) with high selectivity passband and wideband absorption properties is presented. Its performance as an absorber over a wide absorption band from 8.08 to 18.08 GHz through the structure of metal incurved square loop structure loaded resistors. The frequency selective surface (FSS) using Jerusalem cross array and metallic patch realizes the transmission frequency band from 2.7 to 3.52 GHz. And the insertion loss (IL) is 0.37 dB at 3.08 GHz. The symmetry and miniaturized elements design enable the proposed FSR to achieve satisfactory incident angle stability. Its small unit size effectively avoids the generation of grating lobes in the absorption band and the interference to Radar Cross Section (RCS) reduction.
