3D Frequency Selective Surfaces based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide Technology

Abstract

In this paper, a novel design technique for designing 3D frequency selective surfaces (FSS) is proposed based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity technology. The proposed design comprises of two tightly coupled FSS elements through the series of periodically spaced metallic vias which are separated a by a finite gap. The structure exhibits passbands characteristics with a relative bandwidth of 14.14%. Further, it exhibits two sharp roll-off performance characteristics on either edges of transmission frequency with two transmission zeros. The parametric study has been conducted to analyze its effect on frequency response of the structure. Furthermore, the material characteristics are derived to analyze the material behavior of the structure.
