Abstract

A compact miniaturized frequency selective surface (FSS) withstable 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 FSS operating at the same frequency of 2.7 GHz. Also, the proposed FSS has great angular stability, and the resonant frequency deviation keeps below 0.4% for both TM and TE polarizations of 60° incident angle.
