A Dual-Band Multilayer Heterogeneous Frequency Selective Surface with Miniaturized Unit Cell

In terms that most researches about Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) concentrate on single layer structure design or FSS with one fundamental mode, a multilayer heterogeneous dual-band frequency selective surface composed of slot FSS, dielectric medium, patch FSS is proposed. This FSS possess miniaturized unit cell with dimension of 6×6mm2, it acts as a dual-band filter in given bands while behaving as an entire reflector in others. Results show that this dual-band frequency selective surface has narrow transmission bandwidths near 8.5GHz and 19.5GHz and flat rejection bands except for that. The structure exhibits excellent stability for oblique incident angles and provides polarization-independent response with compact design which moves the operating bands away from grating lobes. A method to adjust the element's size is proposed as well based on basic elements when given pass band frequency changed.
