Genetically engineered multiband high-impedance frequency selective surfaces

MICROWAVE AND OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, Issue 5 2003
Douglas J. Kern
Abstract A methodology is presented for the design synthesis of metamaterials that act as thin multifrequency artificial magnetic conductors. These structures are realized by placing a frequency-selective surface above a conventional prefect electric conductor, separated by a thin dielectric layer. The frequency-selective surface design is optimized using a micro-genetic algorithm to operate at multiple, narrow frequency bands. Two examples of genetically engineered multiband high-impedance frequency-selective surfaces (that is, artificial magnetic conductors) are presented and discussed. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A genetic algorithm approach to the design of ultra-thin electromagnetic bandgap absorbers

MICROWAVE AND OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, Issue 1 2003
D. J. Kern
Abstract A design methodology is presented for utilizing electromagnetic bandgap metamaterials, also known as artificial magnetic conductors, to realize ultra-thin absorbers. One approach that has recently been proposed is to place a resistive sheet in close proximity to a frequency-selective surface acting as an artificial magnetic conductor. However, we demonstrate in this paper that incorporating the loss directly into the frequency selective-surface can eliminate the additional resistive sheet, thereby further reducing the overall thickness of the absorber. The geometrical structure and corresponding resistance of this lossy frequency-selective surface is optimized by using a genetic algorithm to achieve the thinnest possible absorber. Two examples of genetically engineered electromagnetic bandgap metamaterial absorbers are presented and discussed. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 38: 61,64, 2003 [source]


Analysis and design of band-pass frequency-selective surfaces using the FEM CAD tool

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RF AND MICROWAVE COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING, Issue 5 2004
P. T. Teo
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) full-wave analysis and design of bandpass frequency-selective surfaces (FSSs) is presented. By using the unique features of a unit cell and the periodic boundary conditions, infinite FSSs can be simulated. Wave propagation through FSSs, which is otherwise difficult to quantify, can be visualised by using a commercial CAD tool. The creation of the simulation model, interpretation and analysis of the outcome, and comparison with experimental results are presented for the square-slot and the square-loop-slot band-pass FSS. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
