The effect of perturbating a frequency-selective surface and its relation to the design of a dual-band surface

Abstract

A single-layer dual-band frequency selective surface (FSS) created by the perturbation of a single-band dipole array is studied. A simple algebraic formulation is derived to analyze both element and spacing perturbations. Guidelines are then proposed to allow dual-band FSSs to be designed with no anomalous behavior occurring in the two desired bandstop responses. Examples of unsuccessful and successful dual-band FSSs are calculated.
