A Novel Fully Inkjet Printed Dual-Polarization Broadband Tuneable FSS Using Origami "Eggbox" Structure

A dual polarization `eggbox'-inspired frequency selective surface with cross-conductive elements that can change the frequency response of two orthogonal linear polarizations is demonstrated for the first time in this article. The additional degree of freedom from the dual-mode metamaterial in combination with the `eggbox' origami structure which exploits the symmetrical planes of the metamaterial leads to an unprecedented re-configurability performance compared to traditional Miura-Ori based structures which have fewer degrees of control.
