Water-based frequency selective surface for green electronics applications

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a water based All Dielectric Frequency Selective Surface (ADFSS) is presented made of renewable materials. This surface is based on a modified dielectric resonator incorporating air holes inside the water to increase its Q factor. The ADFSS shows a low pass response with a cutoff frequency of 3.7 GHz. The surface is simulated and measured giving reasonable results.
