Abstract
This paper presents a 3-D printed frequency selective surface (FSS) for harmonic radar applications. The proposed FSS design consists of a square loop printed on the cost-effective acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic material to pass the signals at 5 GHz resonant frequency band. The proposed FSS is tested for various oblique angles up to 45° and even for different polarization modes. A prototype of the proposed design FSS is fabricated. The results demonstrate a good agreement of simulated results with experimental ones. The 3-D printing technique provides a simple and low-cost method to fabricate FSS and make it suitable for future FSS mass production.
