A Convoluted Frequency Selective Surface for Wideband Communication Applications

A Compact and Stable Frequency Selective Surface for WLAN Applications

In this paper, a single-layer bandstop Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is proposed for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) Applications. The unit cell of the proposed FSS consists of a modification in a square patch element by the insertion of triangular shaped slots. The designs demonstrate a wide 3.8 GHz stopband in the WLAN frequency range. Moreover, it shows angular stability at various a...

Equivalent Circuit Model for Square Ring Slot Frequency Selective Surface

An equivalent circuit model for predicting the frequency response of a square ring slot frequency selective surface (SRS-FSS) for normal incidence is described. The proposed FSS consists of an array of square patches centered within a wire grid. The presented circuit model is formed by the impedance of the wire grid that is parallel with the impedance of the patch array, also the mutual couplin...

A New Implementation of Frequency Selective Surface Cloak for Cylindrical Structures

The main purpose of this paper is to design, implement and measure a new sample of mantle cloak. A new method called mantle cloak is introduced by cloaking an object by a single, conformal meta-surface which can drastically suppress the scattering of the desired object. In this paper, a grid lattice is placed around a dielectric object as the cloaking structure. Previously, this FSS has been ut...

Ultra Wideband Surface Wave Communication

Ultra Wideband (UWB), an impulse carrier waveform, was applied at HF-VHF frequencies to utilize surface wave propagation. Due to the low duty cycle of the pulse, the energy requirements are significantly reduced. UWB involves the propagation of transient pulses rather than continuous waves which makes the system easier to implement, inexpensive and small. The use of surface wave propagation (in...
