An equivalent circuit is proposed to model frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) made of optically transparent metal patches. The field penetration through a unit cell of a simple FSS is modeled circuitally by a shunt admittance composed by inductance and capacitance, while the losses in the parts covered by metal thin film are modeled by resistances. The circuit results are validated by full-wave numerical simulations for different test configurations. The circuit model permits fast simulations adequate for FSS design.

Abstract
An equivalent circuit is proposed to model frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) made of optically transparent metal patches. The field penetration through a unit cell of a simple FSS is modeled circuitally by a shunt admittance composed by inductance and capacitance, while the losses in the parts covered by metal thin film are modeled by resistances. The circuit results are validated by full-wave numerical simulations for different test configurations. The circuit model permits fast simulations adequate for FSS design.File in questo prodotto:
