The Cascaded Effects in the Frequency Selective Surfaces Sculpted from Carbon Fabric Reinforced Epoxy Composite Panels Coated with Conductive Silver Paste

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, a kind of conductive polymer-silver paste was used to fabricate carbon fabric composite frequency selective surfaces (FSS) with four-legged slot elements. Screen printing and 3D engraving process were carried out to coat the conductive polymer-silver paste onto the carbon fabric preform and sculpt composite panels into composite FSSs, respectively. Free space and finite element methods were carried out to measure and calculate the electromagnetic transmission characteristics of the composite FSS, respectively. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The cascaded effect in double-layered FSS were investigated by finite element method and design of experiment technique (DOE).
