Characterization of dual band and double polarized notched metallic ring FSS and their equivalent parallel metallic strip structures

ABSTRACT

In this work three rejecting band filters for multi band and dual polarization applications are proposed. The first proposed structure is an open quasi square FSS with a centered notch. The variation of the notch position to the left leads to the tenability of frequencies in both directions of polarization. The addition of a second notch has resulted in a third frequency in the y direction maintaining two resonant frequencies in the x direction. The structures are simulated by the Wave concept Iterative Method and the Comsol Multiphysics software 4.3b. In the second part of this paper a new approach is proposed to obtain an equivalent FSS structures based on non-coupled parallel metallic strips. The new equivalent FSS structures allow the frequency adjustment by the variation of the corresponding strip lengths. The results obtained by the WCIP method and measurements are compared and a good agreement is obtained.
