Analysis and synthesis of multiband dual polarized parallel metallic strips FSS with a ring using WCIP method

In this paper parallel metallic strips FSSs with a ring are introduced and analyzed by the WCIP method for their simple modeling characterized by independent resonant frequencies due to its non-coupled metallic elements. Two FSS structures are manufactured and measured. A FSSs synthesis approach is presented and the curves relating the desired resonant frequencies to the FSS metallic elements lengths responsible of theses frequencies are plotted. To test the synthesis, approach the two manufactured FSSs frequency responses are taken as the desired ones and the proposed synthesis approach is used to determine the metallic strips and the ring lengths for the FSSs unit cell. WCIP results are compared to measurements and a good agreement is observed. For complex pattern FSS the resonant frequencies sources are not always easy to be determined. Thus an equivalent FSS based on metallic strips and a ring can be used maintaining the same frequency response in the limit of the proposed approach. The synthesis approach is used to determine its equivalent FSS structure of a published complex FSS pattern. WCIP method and HFSS software results of the equivalent FSS are compared to published measurements and a good agreement is recorded.
