A Novel Tri-band Frequency Selective Surface

Abstract

This paper presents a novel tri-band frequency miniaturized frequency selection surface (FSS). The proposed FSS consists of single-node folding and single-node folding bending. The single-layer FSS exhibits three stop bands centered at 2.45, 3.61 and 5.79 GHz, with bandwidths of 0.42, 0.48 and 0.70 GHz, respectively. The proposed FSS has better miniaturization characteristics, and its cell size is 0.126 λ×0.126 λ. The three stop band frequencies of the FSS can be independently controlled by simply changing the length of the corresponding branch. In addition, the proposed FSS is symmetrical about the center and exhibits good resonance stability in both TE and TM polarization. The prototype of the proposed FSS was fabricated and tested, compared with the simulation results, the FSS showed stable performance. This method provides ideas for designing multiband FSS in the future.
