“…Inkjet printing of the FSS on a range of different substrates such as paper based, textile, glass, and polyethylenenapthenate with performances similar to the chemically etched equivalents has recently been reported [8]- [11]. Since the technology is an additive mask free printing method, where conducting tracks of metal-nanoparticle-based inks can be deposited on demand, it is a potentially lower cost fabrication technique, with potentially lower material wastage, while being compatible with a wide range of cheap and environmentally friendly materials including paper, glass, and leather [12], [13].…”

Additive fabrication of electromagnetic structures by inkjet printing technology is both cost effective and compatible with a wide range of environmentally friendly substrates, enabling the fabrication of frequency-selective surface (FSS) arrays with line dimensions less than 0.1 mm, which is difficult to achieve with conventional subtractive techniques. Several approaches, such as savings in ink by depositing it at the edges of dipole elements where the surface current tends to maximize, have been investigated in order to produce low-cost frequencyselective panels with acceptable level of isolation. The FSS transmission characteristics were improved by jetting multiple ink layers on the whole elements and at the edges. The electrical resistance of various arrays have been measured and analyzed and has been used to assess the performances of the FSS.

“…Paper material, which is now being investigated as an electronics substrate, can reduce the cost approximately ten times that of the polymers or plastic films mentioned above [14]. Some antenna designs have been designed on paper substrate recently [15] - [19] but none of these show reconfigurability feature. In this work, a frequency reconfigurable antenna inkjet printed on a paper substrate is demonstrated.…”

An inkjet printed reconfigurable multiband antenna printed on a low cost commercial photo paper substrate using two PIN diodes is proposed for the first time. A main radiator is designed to operate at 3.4 GHz band whereas L-shaped and U-shaped radiating elements are designed to operate at 1.9 and 2.4 GHz, respectively. The antenna has a size of 30 x 40 x 0.44 mm 3 and can cover most of the mobile and wireless bands between 1.5 to 4 GHz. A prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated and measured. Measured and simulated results of S11, radiation pattern, gain and efficiency are in good agreement. Measured results show that the antenna has a gain and efficiency of 2 dBi and 50%, respectively. A parametric study is proposed as a guidance to design the antenna for operating in other bands between 1.5GHz to 4GHz.

“…The FSS, characterized by its ability to transmit or reflect a specific frequency of the incident plane wave, has been studied in various fields including microwave absorbers [5], antenna performance improvement techniques [6], interference signal control in a building [7], and military-related RCS reduction techniques [8]. As a passive circuit operating in a single frequency band, the conventional FSS has shown limitations in its applicability in the multifunctional, complex system environments demanded by the advancements and high efficiency of recent modern communications technology [9].…”

In this paper, a bandpass reconfigurable frequency selective surface (FSS) with high isolation at passband, which can reconfigure the operating frequency by using a PIN diode for the X-band, was designed. The proposed surface is composed of four-legged loaded elements, inductance stubs, and a bias grid to supply power. By controlling the electrical length of the unit cell using the forward bias and zero bias of the PIN diode located between the cross-shaped pattern and the stub, the operating frequency can be reconfigured. By controlling the stub length, the switching range of the operating frequency can be controlled. Based on the design results, two types of reconfigurable FSS were constructed, and their measured transmission losses, obtained using the rectangular waveguides WR-75 and WR-90, were compared with simulation results. The comparison showed very similar results.
