ANGULAR-STABILITY LOW-PROFILE MINIATURIZED FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACE BASED ON COMPLEMENTARY STRUCTURE

Angular-Stability Low-Profile Miniaturized Frequency Selective Surface Based on Complementary Structure

A new architecture for a low-profile miniaturized-element frequency selective surface based on complementary structure capable of providing a high angular stable performance is proposed. The proposed FSS is composed of an array of convoluted cross dipoles and its complementary slots pattern that is separated by a thin dielectric substrate. An equivalent circuit model for this FSS is presented t...

A Compact Miniaturized Frequency Selective Surface with Stable Resonant Frequency

A compact miniaturized frequency selective surface (FSS) with stable resonant frequency is proposed in this letter. The proposed FSS is composed of four spiral triangles connected in the middle of the unit cell, symmetrically. Simulated results show that the dimension of the element is only 0.0558λ0 × 0.0558λ0, and reduction in FSS size is up to 97.7% with respect to conventional cross-dipole F...

Frequency-Selective MEMS for Miniaturized Low-Power Communication Devices

With Q’s in the tens to hundreds of thousands, micromachined vibrating resonators are proposed as integratedcircuit-compatible tanks for use in the low phase-noise oscillators and highly selective filters of communications subsystems. To date, LF oscillators have been fully integrated using merged CMOS/microstructure technologies, and bandpass filters consisting of spring-coupled micromechanica...

Miniaturized-Element Frequency Selective Surfaces

This article presents an overview of the progress made in the design of surface topology, fabrication, and applications of a new class of spatial filters known as miniaturized-element frequency selective surfaces (FSS’s) in recent years at the University of Michigan. The research in designing the new class was initiated with the demand for FSS’s with overall small dimensions for low frequency a...
