Abstract

In this paper, an optimization procedure based on the genetic algorithm is applied to the design of frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) for dual frequency applications, fabricated by printed circuit technology. The inclusion of the shape of the mask in the set of parameters controlling the optimization scheme enables us to obtain the requisite frequency and polarization performance, while simultaneously reducing the number of layers in some cases.
