Abstract

In this Letter, the transmission properties of a nonperiodic array of slots arranged in the form of a Fibonacci sequence are investigated. By arranging the slots in this manner, an additional periodicity can be utilized, resulting in corresponding resonance features in the transmitted signal. By investigating the transmission response of a perforated metallic sheet over a broad frequency range (6--40 GHz), it is shown that this simple one-dimensional chain supports two periodicities, one due to the regular periodic separation and one due to average spacing---which is related to the golden ratio. This response replicates the resonant behavior of a two-dimensional periodic array with a single nonperiodic array also creating new families of diffraction lobes in the far-field region.
