Abstract

With the increase in the usage of electromagnetic devices, electromagnetic interference increased many folds. Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) provide effective shielding from unwanted frequency ranges. A thin, conformal band-stop FSS is presented in this research that provides effective electromagnetic shielding properties in X-band. The FSS acts as a band stop filter at 10 GHz. The proposed FSS has 54.7% fractional bandwidth. The design is of the dimensions 6.79 x 6.79 x 0.127  milimeter cube, employing Rogers RT 5880 substrate with 0.0009 dielectric constant. It has an attenuation of at least -57.97 dB. The proposed FSS shows oblique incidence angle independence for both TE and TM modes, up to 60o scan angle. The incidence angle independence makes the FSS response stable for both normal and varying angles of the incident waves. The design has a copper cladding of 0.018 mm, making the overall FSS thickness of 0.145 mm. The thin substrate makes the design flexible and easily bendable for curved surfaces. Its thin structure makes it easily applicable on buildings, vehicles and military aircrafts for electromagnetic shielding purposes. The conformability and shielding properties make the design suitable for various other applications.
