Abstract

Design and experimental verifications are presented for a four-band frequency selective surface (FSS) with perfectly conducting double-square-loop (DSL) patch elements. A single screen DSL element FSS is demonstrated for (1) a four-band FSS which reflects the X- and Ka-band signals while passing the Sand Ku-band signals, and (2) a low-pass (or Ka-add-on) FSS that reflects the Ka-band signal while passing the S-, X-, and Ku-band signals. Cascading the above low-pass FSS with a previously published single screen tri-band FSS, a double screen FSS is also successfully demonstrated for the Cassini four-band application. The good agreement obtained between the measured and the computed results verified both the single and double screen four-frequency FSS approaches for the Cassini Project
