“…Being a complementary structure, MCB patterns have long been the subject of extensive studies in various fields of application [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. According to Babinet's principle, the complementary structure of an obstacle (or object) presents complementary transmission spectra [45].…”

We employed the screen-printing method to fabricate terahertz (THz) frequency selective surfaces (FSS) featuring an inductive metallic checkerboard (i-MCB) pattern based on silver nanoparticles ink onto a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. Analytical studies, along with simulations and experiments, were conducted to investigate the filtering characteristics of the printed FSSs, confirming their functionality as a band-pass filter. Subsequently, we demonstrated the reconfigurability of a two-layer system by vertically stacking two layers. This was achieved by systematically shifting the position of the second layer in the x or y-direction relative to the first layer. Experimental verification revealed a significant variation in normalized transmission, ranging from 94% to 6% at 0.15 THz for type-I:i-MCBs and 90% to 5% at 0.20 THz for type-II:i-MCBs, respectively. This study presents a simple scheme for a reconfigurable screen-printed i-MCB-FSS operating in the THz range. Consequently, our findings demonstrate that screen printing method can effectively be employed for the large-scale production of THz FSSs.
