Abstract
Fractal geometries have been extensively implemented in the design of multiband antenna and frequency selective surface (FSS). For example, convoluted and Hilbert patch elements were first proposed to reduce the unit cell size of FSS (Parker and El Sheikh, IEE Proc.-H, 138, 19–22, 1991.) A fractal FSS with self-similar Sierpinski dipole array was shown to have two stop bands (J. Romeu and Y. Rahmat-Samii, IEEE Trans., AP-48, 1097–1104, 2000). However, its resonant frequencies are rather sensitive to incident angles and polarizations. Minkowski patch FSS and Sierpinski carpet fractals have been shown to provide two or three stop bands with dual polarization capability (J.P. Gianvittorio, et. al., IEEE Trans., AP-51, 3088–3096, 2003.) Recently miniature band-pass FSS with fractal antenna-filter-antenna arrays was designed and demonstrated with good frequency selectivity (S. Zheng, et. al., IEEE AWPL, 11, 240–243, 2012.) A dual band fractal FSS with a 3:1 reflection to pass band ratio and significantly improved resonant frequency stability was proposed by the author (T.K. Wu, Microwave Optical Tech. Letters, 54, 833–835, 2012).
