A Novel Dual-Band Ultrathin FSS With Closely Settled Frequency Response

This study presents a novel ultrathin dual-band frequency selective surface (FSS) for X-band applications. The proposed single-layer FSS operates as a band reject filter at 8.47 and 10.45 GHz. The ratio of these two operating bands has small value such as 1.23, and it points out that the proposed FSS has closely spaced characteristic. In addition, the designed dual-band single-layer FSS has an ultrathin thickness of 0.021
