Effects of Fabricated Error on Transmission Performance of Double Screens Cross Loop Slot FSS Configuration

Abstract

This paper proposes that the inter-layer separation distance (ISD) and the unit cell aligning error (UAE) are used as main variables to study the transmission performance attenuation of the double layer FSS configuration. The numerical analysis model for ISD and UAE was established and also was used to simulate the cross loop slot cell FSS transmission performance by the finite element and periodic moment method program. The double layer cross loop aperture FSS configuration designed was used as the numerical model. As a result of the numerical analysis, it is shown that both ISD and UAE produce insertion transmission loss (ITL) and insertion phase distortion (IPD) directly. Furthermore, ISD results in much loss of the amplitude of the transmitted signal for the FSS than UAE. It is significant for the designer for the multiplayer FSS to assign the fabricated error of the FSS dielectric layers. The UAE introduces the insertion phase variation badly.
