Summary:
A novel low profile frequency selective surfaces (FSS) with wide stop band characteristics suitable for UWB applications consists of square loops screen printed on both sides of a thin flexible polycarbonate substrate with a lateral offset in both directions. The design provides a -10dB insertion bandwidth of 4.55 - 12.77GHz. The design delivers stop band for angular incidence in both single sided and double sided configurations up to 60° degrees. The symmetrical nature ensures identical response for TE and TM modes of polarization within 30° incidence. A comprehensive iterative analysis was made to enhance the ultra-wide bandwidth.
