Complementary Frequency Selective Surface Array Optimization Using Equivalent Circuit Model

摘要

A simple analysis technique for a concept in frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) basis from Babinet's principle, of two closely coupled conducting elements is presented. A layer of conducting patch elements and a layer of slot elements are designed on either side of a substrate, named as complementary FSS (CFSS). An equivalent circuit (EC) model in conjunction with transmission line (TL) model is employed to analyze the response of the structure. This method can predict the scattering parameters with high accuracy at a normal and oblique angle of incidence for both parallel and perpendicular polarizations. A parametric study of CFSS array aimed at their EC model optimization is presented. The CFSS exhibits a highly stable passband for normal and oblique incidences. The validity of the proposed method is verified with commercial simulation software package. It is observed that the results obtained by both methods are very good in agreement.
