Abstract

This paper describes a passive periodic pin reflection frequency selective surface (PR-FSS) suitable for installation in indoor environments to reduce the interference caused by multiple co-channel wireless nodes (for example Wi-Fi transmitters). Ideally, the PR-FSS would be installed on a corridor wall and would isolate adjacent transmitting nodes by reducing forward propagation down a corridor scenario. The PR-FSS has been developed from a comb reflection frequency selective surface (CR-FSS) and aims to provide similar forward scattering reduction performance with the use of less material due to its structure. Pin separation must be limited to prevent detrimental loss of performance. Forward scatter radar cross section (RCS) plots highlight the similarity in performance between the PR-FSS and CR-FSS surfaces.
