It consists of two layers: a dielectric substrate layer and a metal layer. The basal layer, which is the substrate, is made of FR4; and the top patch, which is the metal, is made of copper. The FSS is constructed without using several layers or several resonators in a single unit cell. This single-sheet, planar-structure-based FSS has an ultra-level band- width of 20.3 GHz, ranging from 2.3 GHz to 22.6 GHz. It will be employed in microwave applications in the S-, C-, X-, Ku-, and K-bands, with a centre frequency of 10.6 GHz. The polarisation and angle stability of the transverse electric (TE) and trans- verse magnetic (TM) modes are examined, and it was found that they are insensitive up to 90 degrees. Plots depicting the distri- bution of the magnetic field, surface current, and electric field are used to analyse the structure’s physical mechanism. The per- formances from previous studies are compared and contrasted with that of the current work. Keywords: ultra-wideband, frequency-selective surface, high bandwidth, polarization insensitive V raziskavi je predstavljena ultra-{iroka pasovna, frekven~no selektivna povr{ina (FSS; angl.: frequency selective surface), ki ponuja zelo dobro pasovno {irino za izolacijske in komunikacijske aplikacije. Sestavljena je iz dveh plasti oziroma dveh slojev: dielektri~ne podlage in kovinske plasti. Osnovna plast, ki je podlaga, je izdelana iz materiala FR4 (kompozitni laminatni s steklom oja~ani epoksidni material), na vrhu nje pa je tanka kovinska plast iz bakra. Predlagana FSS je enovita, in ni sestavljena iz posameznih plasti ali ve~ resonatorjev v celi~ni enoti. Ta enojna plast na osnovi ploskovne FSS strukture ima pasovno {irino na frekven~ni ravni 20,3 GHz v obmo~ju med 2,3 GHz in 22,6 GHz. Uporabna bo za mikrovalovne aplikacije v S-, C-, X-, Ku-, in K-pasovih z osnovno frekvenco pri 10,6 GHz.

Due to the recent devel- opment of numerous power devices for both wireless and wired communication technologies, research in the EM-shielding sector has increased. These devices are easily impacted by other electronic and electrical equip- ment because of their size reductions and high voltage- regulation requirements. 3–5 Electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues due to ra- diation from different sources can prohibit the gadget from working properly. An ultra-wideband (UWB) fre- quency is employed in imaging applications as the wide frequency range improves the image resolution. 6 Highly advanced UWB FSS is deployed for shielding to mini- mise interference and boost the efficiency of the UWB antennas. The literature contains numerous reports of UWB FSS. In one investigation, a dielectric substrate was sandwiched between two metallic layers of specified FSS, producing 7.5 GHz of ultra-wide bandwidth and spanning the resonant frequency between 6.5 GHz and 14 GHz. 7 However, owing to fringes effects, there was a broadband drop of up to 50 % for different orientations, which is a significant drawback. Materiali in tehnologije / Materials and technology 57 (2023) 1, 85–90 85 UDK 537.871.6 ISSN 1580-2949 Original scientific article/Izvirni znanstveni ~lanek MTAEC9, 57(1)85(2023) *Corresponding author's e-mail: srigithasnath@rediffmail.com (Srigitha Surendranath) In another method, a few levered square cycles were created and isolated by a length (width) of 'K' using a customizable FSS device. The device was used to di- rectly alter the K th position. This system had a communi- cation range of 3.5–8 GHz and was very expensive. Be- sides, the system also developed shimmering chambers when the separation 'K' was adjusted past a certain point. 8 Some other models included switching devices positioned crosswise for each corner and varied shapes of loops joined together by outstretched arms. The FSS were programmable for up to four GHz width with di- odes, and the inverter’s operation might change the band. 9 Three major compounds were used in a multilayer FSS to generate a wideband frequency for the S, C, and X-bands, but creating it was tedious and the performance was subpar. 10 FSSs have been utilised most frequently in prism mirrors, passband or concert filters, circuit analogue ab- sorbers, combination radomes, and household appli- ances. A pair of multi FSSs that operate as a multichan- nel transmit array with a simple design at 13.5 GHz are appropriate for double or circularly polarised purposes. 11 The multilevel FSS stack used as the crystal structure in the described architecture retains its large capacity and is promising in terms of productivity, despite its small pro- file. 12 When there are no active devices, the classical control device that regulates the distance with bevel gears offers a wide resonant frequency. The infinitely customizable FSS is increasingly used for broadband sheltering. A broad FSS incorporated with a biasing system for radio frequency (EM) shielding in several bands was proposed for its use. 13 Rectifiers are added, which cause the concert reaction to change from lower to higher frequency. For the S and C areas, a super (UWB) FSS made of hexagonal rings offers EM filter- ing. Metal vias are used to join the areas on the top and basal layers of the 2.5-D octagonal layout. Major com- pounds are used in a continuous multiple layer FSS to display the transition between several radio frequencies. Air separators are used in the construction of the layers, thus creating a multi-layered structure. It is possible to tailor impedance FSS to achieve both minimal and wideband absorption. Both the X and Ka frequencies are EM shielded by a separate FSS. The FSS unit cell’s two printed parts are coupled in a way that displays band-stop reaction. By altering the traditional loops type, a small UWB bandpass filter was previously created. By altering the traditional circuit type FSS, a smaller wide-band FSS was constructed to shift the overall band-stop reaction with the insertion of a rectifier. Greater bandwidth and complex physical response are produced by the metal plate layers when they are split with a dielectric material. Uninvestigated up to this point is a small UWB FSS with a concert response. 14,15 The following are the proposed design’s primary goals: 1. To obtain an ultra-high-bandwidth frequency re- sponse, ranging from 2.3 GHz to 22.6 GHz, encompass- ing S-, C-, X-, Ku-, and K-band frequency response, and to develop an ultra-thin-dimension-based one layer and planar patch structure. 2. To create a straightforward structure with outstand- ing polarisation and angle insensitivity for a 20.3-GHz-wide bandwidth. 2 PROPOSED FSS MODEL Figures 1a and 1b show the planned FSS’s unit cell structure. The structure is a single metal plate imposed on a 0.8-mm-high, FR4 (Flame Retardant fibre glass ep- oxy) dielectric substrate material. The 0.035-mm-thick metallic patch is created in two shapes, including a square and an eclipse. Figures 1a and 1b show the planned FSS’s unit-cell structure. The structure is a single metal plate imposed on a 0.8-mm-high, FR4 (Flame Retardant fibre-glass ep- oxy) dielectric substrate material. The 0.035-mm-thick metallic patch is created in two shapes, including a square and an eclipse. All the dimensions of the sug- gested FSS framework are given in Table 1. The trans- mission coefficient (S12) and the reflection coefficient (S11) of the S-parameter characteristics of the planned FSS structure model section is examined. The properties of the transmission and reflection coefficients, respec- tively, exhibit band stop and bandpass responses. S11 is the S-reflection parameter’s coefficient, and S12 is its transmission coefficient.

Figure 2 depicts the suggested FSS structure’s many stages of operation along with the corresponding transmission coefficient. The way the FSS design with TE modes works at each level has been explained. In Stage 1, a basic square patch PEC material was applied over a square-shaped substrate layer to achieve a 3-GHz resonance with a 50-dB transmission coefficient. In Stage 2, an eclipse structure with a small square is placed alongside the Stage 1 structure. This helps to ob- tain a single frequency band at 20 GHz, and an associ- ated transmittance of 32 dB. In Stage 3, the unique FSS structure proposed in the current study is created. It has an eclipse shape encircled by four square arms and an outer square metallic layer. It supports an ultra-level bandwidth of 20.3 GHz, in an extremely broad band ranging from 2.3 GHz to 22.6 GHz. It has a transmission coefficient of 55 db, which is exceptionally high in com- parison to that of earlier studies. This suggests that the proposed FSS structure is promising for creating a small structure with a high bandwidth and transmission coeffi- cient. 3.2 Transmission and reflection coefficient The transmission coefficient (S12) describes how the wire transmits the signal, and the reflection coefficient (S11) refers to the amount of electromagnetic wave re- flected back due to the transmission’s insertion loss or impedance discontinuity. It is typically characterized as the coefficient of reflection between the point frequency and the channel’s frequency response, shown in Fig- ure 3. 3.3 Transmission coefficient for transverse electric and transverse magnetic mode polarization The transmission coefficient (S12) value was ana- lysed for both the transverse electric and transverse mag- netic modes. The frequency of operation is the same for both modes. The insertion and the return loss values are also the same. This implies that the structure has polar- ization-independent characteristics Shown in Figure 4. 3.4 Polarization ( ) and incident angle ( ) stability By varying the angles between 0 and 90 degrees, the polarisation angle ( ) and the obliquely incident angle ( ) of the structure are computed. The proposed FSS, which is seen in Figure 5, is polarisation- and inclina- tion-angle independent in nature since the theta and pi values remained constant while the angles changed. 3.5 Electric field (E), magnetic field (M) and sur- face-current distribution plots Plots of the surface, magnetic field, and electric field current distribution are used to examine the physical op- erations of the structure. The suggested FSS ranges in frequency between 2.3 GHz and 22.6 GHz, and its centre S.

Figure 6 shows the current dis- tribution plots on the surface, magnetic field, and electric field at 10.6 GHz. Figure 6a shows the electric field dis- tribution, with the patch structure and a few other loca- tions on the dielectric surface showing the strongest elec- tric field distribution. The magnetic field distribution is given in Figure 6b. The patch resonator structure and a few locations on the dielectric surface where the field is the strongest. The surface current distribution plot at the centre frequency of 10.6 GHz is given in Figure 6c. The surface current flow is a maximum at the patch struc- ture’s top and basal parts and at the dielectric layer’s sur- face. The comparisons are shown in Table 2. The dielec- tric materials and their constant values, bandwidth, cov- ering bands, dimensions and number of layers, etc. have been compared there. This helps in studying and observ- ing the proposed FSS work with that of previous studies. 4 CONCLUSIONS This study contributes towards electro-magnetic shielding in wireless and wired communication technolo- gies. It proposes, fabricates, and studies an Ultra- Wideband Frequency-Selective Surface with an ultra- level bandwidth of 20.3 GHz, encompassing an ex- tremely broad band ranging between 2.3 GHz and 22.6 GHz. The top patch of the structure is composed of copper and the basal patch is made of a substrate from Flame-Retardant fibre glass epoxy. Thus, the proposed FSS is designed without using multiple layers or multi- ple resonators in one single unit cell. Its performance is analysed in S-, C-, X-, Ku- and K-band applications in the microwave regime with its centre frequency at 10.6 GHz. The polarization and angle stability for trans- verse electric and transverse magnetic modes were ex- amined using the Computer Simulation Technology Mi- crowave Studio Software. Simulation outcomes show that the polarization and angle stability are insensitive up to 90 degrees. The physical operation of the structure is S.
