Angularly Stable Frequency Selective Surface With Miniaturized Unit Cell

摘要

A new type of Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) with miniaturized resonator element is proposed. The FSS structure is shown to have a FSS unit cell dimension that is miniaturized to 0.067 . Miniaturization of the FSS unit cell is achieved by coupling two meandered wire resonators separated by single thin substrate layer. The capacitance due to the small separation between the meandered wire elements results in a lowering of the resonant frequency. To demonstrate the validity of the design, the meandered wire resonator FSS was fabricated and tested using a free space measurement facility. The FSS produces a stable angular response up to 80 degrees for TE and TM incident angles.
