In this study, the authors present two new proposals for representation by the equivalent circuit model for aperture‐type circular ring geometries, not yet studied in the literature. The study consists of the frequency response representation of frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) formed by circular ring aperture and concentric circular ring apertures. At first, the authors performed an equivalent circuit analysis for a single cell formed by a single circular ring. Then, they extend the analysis to concentric circular rings, which when used as FSS unit elements, present two passband responses. They compare results of the proposed method with results obtained with the commercial software ANSYS HFSS, showing a good agreement between the results. They built four prototypes and compared measured results with simulated results obtained with the suggested method and it completes the proposed equivalent circuit validation.
This paper presents a tri‐band complementary frequency selective surface (CFSS) with very closely spaced bands and angular stability. The proposed CFSS element geometry is composed of double concentric rings. The choice of this geometry is because of its very good angular stability. The gap between resonance frequencies is very close, only 404 MHz from the first to second band and 202 MHz from the third to second, which is only possible because of the use of CFSS. The CFSS simulation is performed using HFSS software and the design used the equivalent circuit method. The simulated results are compared with the experimental ones for validation purposes. A very good agreement is observed between the simulated and measured results.
In this paper, we proposed a dual‐band complementary frequency selective surface (CFSS) with narrow stop band and large stop band. The proposed CFSS combines two simple geometries, the square loop with grid and the crossed dipole. The resonant frequencies are 2.53 and 5.38 GHz. The bandwidths of 280 MHz and 1.77 GHz were obtained, at –10 dB level, for the first and second bands, respectively. These frequencies and bands show that the structure can be applied in Wi‐Fi (2.4–2.5 GHz) and C‐band (4–6 GHz) frequencies. The simulated and measured results show that the chosen geometry has angular stability and polarization independence up to 45°. We can observe a good agreement between simulated and measured results.
