A PHYSICS-BASED HIE-FDTD METHOD FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC MODELING OF MULTI-BAND FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACE (INVITED)

Abstract

|A physics-based hybrid implicit-explicit (cid:12)nite-difference time domain (HIE-FDTD) method is developed for electromagnetic modeling of multi-passband frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). Using this self-developed HIE-FDTD simulator, several dual- and tri-passband FSSs are designed and further fabricated. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation ones, which prove high accuracy of the self-developed HIE-FDTD algorithm. In addition, the resonant frequencies of the designed FSSs can be effectively adjusted by changing their geometric parameters. This work provides electromagnetic guides of structure and parameter selections for designing multi-passband FSS.
