Open full text 291 citations

Abstract

The multiband properties of self-similar fractals can be advantageously exploited to design multiband frequency selective surfaces (FSS). A Sierpinski dipole FSS has been analyzed and measured and the results show an interesting dual-band behavior. Furthermore a near-field measurement technique is applied to characterize the FSS response to different angles of incidence. Finally, it is shown that it is possible to tune the FSS response by properly perturbating the geometry of the Sierpinski dipole.
