Abstract :
We use the density/SIMP (solid isotropic material with penalization) method to design metamaterials for frequency selective surfaces/volumes. It is shown that significant improvement is attained by optimization of the material permittivity. The generality, low number of iterations and the simplicity of the demonstrated approach motivate application of the method for other microwave structures.
