Angularly Stable Bandpass Frequency Selective Surface Based on Metasurface

Abstract

A novel bandpass frequency selective surface (FSS) working at 2.4 GHz is proposed in this paper based on metasurface with independent-polarization, wide rejection band and good angular stability. The 10-dB upper stopband could cover 3.35-9.4 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 94.9%. In addition, the filtering response could remain stable under different polarizations and incidence angles. Parameter analysis and equivalent circuit model are illustrated to explain the resonance behavior of the proposed FSS. It is demonstrated that the lower resonant point in the stopband could be tuned independently by changing the length of small rectangular patches in the top layer. While the higher resonant point could be changeable independently by adjusting the diameter of circular gap in the bottom layer. A prototype of the proposed FSS is fabricated and its simulated results are coincided with measurements.
