Abstract :
Convoluting the conductors of dipole frequency selective surfaces (FSS) while retaining the unit cell dimensions produces a major reduction in the resonant frequency and in the sensitivity of the reflection band to angle of incidence. The separation of this band from the onset of grating responses is correspondingly increased.
