Aiming at the technical problems that the frequency of a single-layer frequency selective surface is limited and the power consumption of a dual-band frequency selective surface loaded with an active device is high, the application provides a high-order dual-band pass frequency selective surface designed by adopting a multi-layer cascading technology. Compared with a single-layer frequency selective surface of single-order filtering, the multi-layer frequency selective surface can generate multi-order filtering characteristics so as to realize multi-band or wide-band frequency selective response, and the traditional frequency selective surface only considers a first passband, and the application considers the second passband characteristics of the frequency selective surface so as to be more widely applied.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the side length w of the small rectangular patch of the cross-shaped metal patch is 1mm, and the side length l of the cross-shaped metal patch is 9mm.
In some embodiments, the cross-shaped metal patch acts as a shunt inductance, coupling with the upper metal layer and the lower metal layer.
In some embodiments, the upper metal layer, the lower metal layer, and the intermediate metal layer are each symmetrical about a respective center, and the entirety of the upper metal layer, the lower metal layer, and the intermediate metal layer is rotationally symmetrical about the cross-shaped metal patch in a normal incidence direction.
The high-order dual-band pass frequency selective surface is composed of two dielectric substrates and three metal layers, wherein the three metal layers are an upper metal layer, an intermediate metal layer and a lower metal layer respectively, and are separated by the two dielectric substrates, and the structure is shown in figure 1. The two dielectric plates are F4BM300, the relative dielectric constant is 3, and the thicknesses of the dielectric plate and the metal layer are h 1=0.762mm、h2 = 0.018mm, respectively, as shown in figure 2. The cell period is p=16 mm.
The upper metal layer and the lower metal layer are identical and are formed by etching 1 large rectangular ring gap and 4 small rectangular ring gaps on the metal layers, the 4 small rectangular ring gaps are positioned on 4 sides of the large rectangular ring gap, and the etched metal layers are composed of 4 small rectangular metal patches, 1 large rectangular metal patch and irregular peripheral metal patches, as shown in fig. 3, a=4.42 mm, b=1.8 mm, c=2.47 mm, e=3.54 mm and d=1.06 mm, wherein a is the side length of the large rectangular metal patch and the small rectangular ring gap, b is the side length of the small rectangular metal patch, c is the distance between the large rectangular metal patch and the small rectangular metal patch, e is the width of the small rectangular ring gap, and d is the distance between the small rectangular metal patch and the peripheral metal patch.
The middle metal layer is a cross-shaped metal patch. As shown in fig. 4, specific dimensional parameters are w=1 mm, l=9mm, w is the side length of the small rectangular patch, and l is the side length of the cross-shaped metal patch. Electromagnetic waves are incident along the z direction, the TE polarization direction is the y direction, and the TM polarization direction is the x direction.
The structure introduces a cross-shaped metal patch between the upper and lower metal layers, and is separated by two dielectric plates. The cross patch is used as a parallel inductor and is coupled with the upper metal layer and the lower metal layer, so that the impedance of the structure is enhanced at a high frequency, and the performance of the high-order bandpass characteristic is improved.
The upper and lower metal layers are of a plane structure symmetrical about the center, the cross-shaped metal patch layer is also of a plane structure symmetrical about the center, and the three metal layers are rotationally symmetrical about the cross-shaped metal patch in the normal incidence direction, so that the structure is insensitive to the angle of the incident wave.
Fig. 5 is an S-parameter of the upper metal layer in combination with the upper dielectric substrate layer at either TE polarization or TM polarization normal incidence, creating a passband at a resonant frequency of 9.94 GHz. Fig. 6 is a graph of TE polarization or TM polarization normal incidence when the upper and lower metal layers are separated by the upper and lower dielectric substrate layers, with the resonant frequency 9.94GHz shifted to 8.61GHz at low frequencies and forming a first passband at this frequency, with two transmission zeroes at frequencies 12.32GHz and 14.58GHz due to the interaction between the upper and lower metal layers, with the tendency of a second passband. The presence of these two nulls effectively increases isolation between the pass bands, reducing inter-band interference and thus improving the performance of the frequency selective surface in multi-band applications.
In order to give the second passband of fig. 6a higher order characteristic, a cross patch is introduced between the upper and lower metal layers whose normal incidence frequency response under TE polarization is shown in fig. 7. By the design, a transmission zero point is added at the 10.77GHz position between the two pass bands, and the isolation effect between the pass bands is enhanced. At this time, the resonance frequency of the first passband is shifted further toward the low frequency to 6.55GHz. Within the second passband, three independent resonant frequencies are generated at 12.31ghz,13.16ghz,14.02ghz, respectively, similar to TE polarization for the case of TM polarization, due to the multiple coupling effect between the cross patch and the upper and lower metal layers.
Fig. 7 shows the frequency response at normal incidence for TE polarization, with a fractional bandwidth of the first passband of 24.8%, from 5.79GHz to 7.43GHz, and a fractional bandwidth of the second passband of 14.8%, from 12.41GHz to 14.40GHz. Fig. 8 shows the frequency response at normal incidence for TM polarization with a fractional bandwidth of the first pass band of 23.3%, from 5.79GHz to 7.32GHz, and a fractional bandwidth of the second pass band of 14.7%, from 12.29GHz to 14.25GHz. The results for TM and TE polarization are almost identical, indicating that the proposed filter has polarization insensitivity.
Fig. 9 shows the transmission coefficients of the frequency selective surface at different angles of incidence for TE polarization. The frequency selective surface proposed by the present application is capable of operating effectively at 45 deg.. As the angle of incidence increases, the impedance of the frequency selective surface increases, resulting in a decrease in the-3 dB bandwidth of the TE polarization. Specifically, when the incident angles θ are 0 °, 15 °,30 °, and 45 °, the-3 dB bandwidths of the first pass band are 24.8%, 22.5%, 19.8%, and 16.1%, respectively, and the-3 dB bandwidths of the second pass band are 14.8%, 12.12%, 10.6%, and 8.0%, respectively. The results show that the passband frequency response of TE polarization has good stability at different angles of incidence.
The band-pass frequency selection surface of the high-order double frequency band provided by the application realizes double-frequency band-pass response, and through the designed upper layer metal patch, the lower layer metal patch and the gap layout thereof, transmission zero points are generated on a plurality of frequency points, the isolation between the pass frequency bands is enhanced, and the interference between the bands is effectively reduced. Due to the multiple coupling mechanisms formed between the cross-shaped patch of the middle layer and the upper and lower metal layers, a plurality of independent resonance points are formed in a specific frequency range, and further, the obvious high-order bandpass characteristic is displayed.
The common frequency selective surface is difficult to realize high-order response, and the structural unit designed by the scheme realizes third-order filter response in a second passband and has rectangular selectivity. Compared with a single-layer frequency selective surface, the multi-layer frequency selective surface designed by the application realizes two filtering pass bands and has better isolation.
