Design of Dual-Band Frequency-Selective Rasorber

A novel frequency-selective rasorber (FSR) with dual-band transmission and wideband absorption property is proposed in this letter. The FSR is a two-layer structure composed of a lossy resistive sheet at the top and a lossless bandpass frequency-selective surface (FSS) at the bottom, separated by an air spacer. The element of the resistive sheet is a lumped-resistor-loaded metallic dipole with a dual-resonance structure inserted in the center. The dual-resonance structure is realized by three different series LC structures in parallel, based on the Foster reactance theorem. There are two impedance poles between the three impedance zeros of the series LC circuits, where two transparent windows can be obtained for the lossy resistive sheet. The bandpass FSS is a simple dual-band FSS by etching two slots with different shapes and dimensions in ametallic plane. The FSR has realized two transmission bands at 7.7 and 12.6 GHz, and the band with vertical bar S-11 vertical bar < -10 dB is 3.7-11.1 GHz. The design has been validated by full-wave simulation and experimental measurement.
