In this paper, a miniaturized frequency-selective rasorber (FSR) with an ultra-wide transmission band (| S21 | <1 dB) is presented. The FSR is made up of a lossless multi-layer cascaded frequency-selective surface (FSS) with a 2.5-D lossy layer above, separated by an air gap. Modified metallic Jerusalem crosses loaded with lumped resistors serve as the unit cell of the lossy layer. An equivalent parallel LC circuit with high inductance and extremely low parasitic capacitance is introduced by zigzag strips and vias, which broaden the transmission band significantly. The equivalent circuit model (ECM) is constructed to provide further insight into the structure. Simulation results show that the proposed FSR exhibits an ultra-wide transmission band of 1-dB from 6.20 to 17.97 GHz (97.4%) with a minimum insertion loss of 0.074 dB. Meanwhile, an 80% absorption band covering 2.58-4.13 GHz is achieved below the passband. For demonstration, an experimental prototype of the 2.5-D FSR is fabricated and measured, and the simulated and measured results are reasonably consistent.
