Abstract :
A frequency selective surface (FSS) with absorber characteristics is presented for 5 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) security. The proposed FSS has great potential to absorb WLAN signals by reducing multipath fading effects while allowing the transmission of other useful RF/microwave signals such as mobile phones, VHF/UHF TV etc. It consists of two layers, one with resistive FSS and other with conducting FSS. It has a stable frequency response for both TE and TM polarizations when the angle of incident wave is varied from 0° to 45°. Preliminary simulation results are presented.
