The conductive patterns are created using a copper aerosol spray with a negative masking technique. By injecting dielectric fluids with varying permittivity into fluidic channels, the effective permittivity of the substrate is altered, enabling dynamic tuning of the frequency band. The proposed FSS demonstrates tunable resonance, operating between 4.28 GHz (with empty channels) and 3.52 GHz (with channels filled with distilled water), enabling adaptive filtering capabilities. A microcontroller-driven micropump ensures precise fluid delivery, minimizing shear stress and enhancing repeatability. Additionally, the ESP32 microcontroller provides wireless control of the pump, enabling remote tuning. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed FSS performs closely to simulated responses with minor deviations, exhibits polarization insensitivity, and maintains stability up to a 60° incidence angle.
