Abstract
This work presents a dual-band Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) for improving 5G communications at millimeter-wave bands. The FSS is based on a single-layer configuration which supports dual polarization, with a unit-cell period of 4 mm x 4 mm. The structure exhibits two reflection bands at 28 GHz and 39 GHz. An equivalent circuit model has been developed for the proposed FSS, showing good agreement with full-wave electromagnetic simulations. A 200 mm x 200 mm prototype of the FSS, comprising an array of 50 × 50 unit-cells has been fabricated and tested, and the measured transmission and reflection coefficients agree well with the simulations. Moreover, the frequency response of the FSS shows good stability for incidence angles up to 40°. The proposed single-layer dual-band FSS has applications in the design of smart reflecting surfaces to enhance wireless communications in 5G networks operating at the 28 and 39 GHz bands, either alone or in combination with metasurface or reflectarray elements that could be placed on its upper side.
