Fss space filters with indoor polar elements for wlan applications
This article presents a project of an FSS for applications in wireless local area network (WLAN). Two dielectric substrates were used in the process of manufacturing FSS filters, such as: Fiberglass (F-R4) and glass. The dielectric properties of the substrates were experimentally characterized. Simulated and measured results for the proposed structures were presented and discussed, where a good agreement between them was observed. The results showed that the two FSS projected covered the WLAN frequency range (IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b).
