A New Hybrid Frequency Selective Surface Design in the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz ISM Bands

Abstract:

With the advancement in telecommunication in indoor environment, the use of wireless technology for information systems has drastically increased. The intensive use of indoor wireless devices in 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz ISM bands causes mutual interference in neighboring networks which degrades the system performance. Secure personal communication within such wireless networks is also another important problem. A band-stop frequency selective surface (operating in the WLAN frequency band) which is attached to the walls of buildings can provide a solution for these interference and security problems. In this work, a new band-stop hybrid frequency selective surface element consisting of two circular looped type geometries is introduced which is capable of attenuating the incoming 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz ISM signals minimum 13dB for all polarizations and incident angles varies from 0⁰ to 45⁰. Besides, a periodic cell size (p=26,5mmm) which is almost one fifth of the first resonance wavelength is obtained.
