摘要
A reconfigurable frequency-selective surface (RFSS) for electromagnetic shielding applications is presented in this letter. The unit cell of the proposed RFSS contains a pair of shorted square loops separated by a uniform distance. Wideband RFSS with the frequency tuning ratio of 1:2.34 achieved by varying the horizontal spacing is proposed. The RFSS covers the frequencies 3.5, 5, and 5.8 GHz shielding the WiMAX, WLAN, and ISM/WiMAX bands, respectively. The prototype of the proposed RFSS is fabricated and loaded on to the mechanical tuning setup. The tuning setup has a box frame with rotating shafts attached to the bevel gears to control the horizontal spacing. The use of collapsible linkage mechanism ensures uniform spacing during reconfigurable operation. The simulated results are validated with measurements. The proposed FSS offers wideband frequency tuning for electromagnetic shielding applications.
