  • Abstract
    This article tests the performance of the FSS-antenna array experimentally. A patch-array was fabricated and measured at X-band. The array was then loaded with a frequency-selective layer at a close distance on top. The measured received power as a function of frequency exhibits an improvement of about 50% reduction in the bandwidth and significantly higher frequency roll-off rate once the array is covered with the metamaterial surface.
