A Second-order C-bandpass Frequency Selective Surface

A novel C-bandpass frequency selective surface(FSS) exhibiting miniaturized periodic parts is developed in this study. Such FSS acts as a bandpass filter at 4.03--7.87GHz. The proposed FSS exhibits miniaturization characteristics with the unit-cell dimension 0.12λ*0.12λ and the total thickness less than λ/28. Meantime, the simulation results reveal that the second-order FSS exhibits better stability under a variety of incident directions and polarization modes.
