Abstract
A novel frequency-selective rasorber (FSR) is proposed in this paper which has a nearly transparent window between two absorption bands. The FSR consists of a resistive sheet and a bandpass frequency-selective surface (FSS). The impedance conditions of absorption/transmission for both the resistive sheet and the bandpass FSS are theoretically derived based on equivalent circuit analysis. The insertion loss of FSR at the resonant frequency of lossless bandpass FSS is proven to be only related to the equivalent impedance of the resistive sheet. When the resistive sheet is in parallel resonance at the passband, a nearly transparent window can be achieved regardless of lossy properties. An interdigital resonator (IR) is designed to realize parallel resonance in the resistive element by extending one finger of a strip-type interdigital capacitor to connect the two separate parts of the capacitor. The IR is equivalent to a parallel LC circuit. Lumped resistors are loaded around the IR to absorb the incident wave at lower and upper absorption bands. With the bandpass FSS as the ground plane, the absorption performances at both the lower and upper bands around the resonant frequency are improved compared to a metal-plane-backed absorber structure. The FSR passband is designed at 10 GHz with an insertion loss of 0.2 dB. The band with a reflection coefficient below -10 dB extends from 4.8 to 15.5 GHz. A further extension to dual-polarized FSR is designed, fabricated, and measured to validate the proposed design.
