Bandpass frequency selective surfaces with fast roll-off characteristics

Abstract

We propose a bandpass frequency selective surface (FSS) with fast cut-off characteristics and low insertion loss. It consists of a compact high-frequency hybrid compression board with five metal layers, two Rogers RO4003C layers, and two F4B layers. The hierarchical fitting of equivalent circuits is utilized to analyze the FSS, which maintains angular stability for dual-polarized electromagnetic waves at incidence angles of less than 20 degrees. Under normal incidence, transmission amplitudes in the K-band exceed −0.87 dB. Furthermore, the proposed FSS achieves a roll-off rate of 87.6 dB/GHz, which can be applied in dual-frequency observing systems for millimeter astronomy.
