Abstract

A novel dual-band frequency selective surface (FSS) operating at Ku- and Ka- bands is presented in this paper. The proposed FSS is an aperture element constituted by a square loop loaded with four symmetrical umbrella-shaped stubs on the front side of the dielectric substrate. A good angular stability up to 60° angle of incidence for both TE and TM polarizations is provided by the FSS. Moreover, the two passbands of FSS can be controlled independently and flexibly by changing corresponding structural parameters. A prototype of the FSS is fabricated and measured. The good agreement between simulation and measurement results further proves the performance of the FSS.
