Spectral domain analysis of frequency-selective surfaces on biaxially anisotropic substrate

A full-wave analysis is presented of frequency-selective surfaces (FSSs) on a biaxially anisotropic substrate. The integral equations are first transformed into the spectral domain ones through the use of the Floquet theorem and then solved by the method of moments. Since the wave immittance of the biaxially anisotropic substrate is derived in a closed form, the resulting impedance matrix can be obtained conveniently by using the spectral domain immittance approach (SDI). The validity of theoretical formulations is verified by illustrative numerical results and their comparisons. The obtained results are compared with the existing data and other analyses and good agreements are observed. The effects of biaxially anisotropy on the FSS have been studied and discussed
