Single-layer angle-selective surface with broad frequency bandwidth and wide angular passband for X-band applications
Abstract:
An angle-selective surface (ASS) with broad frequency bandwidth and wide angular passband is proposed in this article. The ASS consists of a single-layer dual-resonance metasurface, whose unit cell comprises square and X-shaped slot resonators. Under TE polarization, the proposed ASS maintains good and stable angular selectivity in the frequency range of 10.5 to 11.5 GHz. The angular passband (S21 > -1 dB) spans a maximum of 0° to 57° at 10.5 GHz and a minimum of 0° to 42° at 11.5 GHz. From a circuit perspective, the principle of the proposed ASS is analyzed and the dual-resonance equivalent circuit model is established and verified. Both circuit simulations and electromagnetic simulations demonstrate excellent agreement, validating the design. Finally, the proposed ASS has been fabricated and experimentally measured, with results confirming a wide angular passband across the broad frequency range, in good alignment with the simulations.
