Abstract
A new class of three-dimensional (3-D) bandpass frequency-selective structures (FSSs) with multiple transmission zeros is presented to realize wide out-of-band rejection. The proposed FSSs are based on a two-dimensional (2-D) array of shielded microstrip lines with shorting via to ground, where two different resonators in the substrate are constructed based on the excited substrate mode. Furthermore, metallic plates of rectangular shape and “T-type” are inserted in the air region of shielded microstrip lines, which can introduce additional resonators provided by the air mode. Using this arrangement, a passband with two transmission poles can be obtained. Moreover, multiple transmission zeros outside the passband are produced for improving the out-of-band rejection. The operating principles of these FSSs are explained with the aid of equivalent circuit models. Two examples are designed, fabricated, and measured to verify the proposed structures and circuit models. Measured results demonstrate that the FSSs exhibit high out-of-band rejection and stable filtering response under a large variation of the incidence angle.Keywords
