Introduction To FSS

An array of metallic pieces on a substrate[4].

Planar surface designed as a filter
for microwave
frequency waves[1].

Fig.1: Frequency Selective surface

General Mechanism of FSS

Distribution of the current on the elements determines the

frequency behavior of the FSS.[4]
Length of elements is a /2.[5]
The patch array produces capacitive response, Low pass filter.
Aperture type elements act as high pass filter.

General Mechanism of FSS

Resonance characteristics of FSS depends on
Patch and Grid type elements
Incidence angle of the wave.
Periodicity of cells
Inter element Spacing

X-Band Communication Services

TheX bandis a segment of the microwave radio
region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
