  • Abstract
    A novel multilayer Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is proposed for the suppression of far side lobes of radiating elements. Based on the affinity of the proposed structure with a Fabry-Perot resonator, a method is developed for its analysis and design. A double layer filter is designed, fabricated, and used in conjunction with several radiating elements that suppressed side lobes in the angular range of 40° - 50° by 15dB.
