Single‐screen triband fss with double‐square‐loop elements

Abstract A single‐screen double‐square‐loop (DSL) frequency selective surface (FSS) has been developed and tested for triband applications (i.e., to reflect the X‐band and to pass the S‐ and Ku‐band waves). Good agreement between predicted and measured transmission performance is obtained for the DSL FSS on a 0.001‐in.‐thick Kapton with/without a flat Kevlar honeycomb sandwich panel. It is found that this single‐screen DSL FSS with/without the Kevlar honeycomb has a resonant frequency near 8.4 GHz for incident angle steered from normal to 45° and for both TE and TM polarizations.
