Quasi-optical frequency selective surface with phase compensation structure correcting the beam distortion

In space-borne quasi-optical feed system, frequency selective surface (FSS) should meet both electrical properties and mechanical requirements. In the paper, we design and fabricate three FSSs to achieve these goals. We present a novel FFS with phase compensation structure correcting the beam distortion. The phase compensation structure consists of short-ended circular waveguide array, inspired by the idea of reflect array antenna. The first FSS meets the need of electrical performance, however, which is too weak to pass the mechanical test. The second one overcomes the former problem, but brings the aberration in reflection beam, due to the discontinuity of the reflection phase. The third one with phase compensation structure meets all the demands. The insertion phase of the unit cell compensates 119 and 183 GHz two reflection bands, reconfigures the field distributions on the cross section of beam waist simultaneously. What' more, this FSS extends the functionality of the original FSS. To some extent, the FSS with phase compensation structure shares the ellipsoidal reflector's pressure to adjust the beam.
