Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a miniaturized multi-band frequency selective surface for band-stop applications. The proposed design is evolved from a modified swastik structure with L-shaped arms printed on FR4 substrate. The structure is designed to operate at 2.4, 5.8, 8.6, and 10.8 GHz covering Wifi, WiMAX, and X-band applications. The proposed quad-band FSS has an overall unit cell size of 0.084 λ0 × 0.084 λ0, where λ0 is the wavelength of the lower operational frequency. The symmetric FSS structure provides the advantage of polarization independency. It also exhibits a stable frequency response up to 60° for both the horizontally polarized EM waves (Transverse Magnetic Mode) and the vertically polarized EM waves (Transverse Electric Mode). Moreover, measurement results obtained from the fabricated prototype are compared with the simulation results and are found to be in close agreement with each other. Single layer structure, compact, and coverage of multiple applications are the advantages of the proposed multiband FSS.
