Impedance modeling for a unit cell of the square loop frequency selective surface at 2.4 GHz

Abstract

This paper presented an impedance modeling of the Equivalent Circuit (EC) for a unit cell of the square loop Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) structure. The unit cell of the square loop FSS is designed and simulated using the CST Microwave Studio software at 2.4 GHz based on industrial, scientific and medical bands (ISM) standard. The square loop FSS is simulated without FSS, with square FSS and FSS with slot. The investigation has been done on the length of substrate (s), width of substrate (w), length of square FSS (a) and length of slot (b). Imaginary (Im) component of EC has been modeled based on physical parameters of the square loop FSS in wavelength. EC gives a simple alternative method in FSS analyses which are useful for quickly predicting the performance of FSS.
