摘要
An frequency selective surface (FSS) structure based on parallel LC resonators is proposed to achieve multiband bandpass filtering responses. The parallel LC resonator, implemented by a via-connected metallic line and a parallelplate capacitor (PPC), serves as the basic element for intentionally constructing FSS unit cell, which exhibits a single-band bandpass filtering response. As a result, the proposed FSS structure can provide a multiband performance by introducing multiple VCMLs and PPCs with different resonance frequencies. Because of the compact resonator resulting from a PPC, the proposed FSSs feature miniaturized unit cell size inherently, for example, the single-band FSS element is as compact as 4.8% of the operating wavelength. Moreover, this kind of FSS structure is also beneficial for independent control of the frequency performance under different polarizations, efficient optimal design of desired resonance frequencies, and easy realization of multiband response with wideband ratio range (e.g., 1.13 to 3.32 for the dualband FSS). Equivalent circuits of these FSSs are established for explaining the resonating mechanisms and precisely modeling the frequency performances. Finally, prototypes of the dual-and triband FSSs are fabricated and measured. The measured results exhibit stable filtering performance under different polarizations and incidence angles (up to 60 degrees).
