Abstract

Recently bio-inspired elements with shapes or geometries found in nature have received special attention, both for applications in antennas and in electromagnetic filters, the unit cell of the proposed FSS consists of a modification in a bio-inspired shaped element. A single and multilayered band-stop Frequency Selective Surface (FSS), with polarization independence, is proposed to be used in frequency applications at 6.0 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E). In the industry, Wi-Fi 6E is the name that identifies those Wi-Fi devices that operate in the 6.0 GHz band, designed to improve efficiency and more capacity than previous standards. Band-stop frequency responses for the single and multilayer structures are presented. The simulated frequency responses show bandwidth values for inhibit transmission about of 1.75 GHz and 3.15 GHz, respectively for single and multilayer structures. Furthermore, good agreement between simulated and measured results is shown for the single bio-inspired FSS.  The proposed FSS structure presents features that allow its use as an electromagnetic filter or its integration with microstrip antennas developed for applications in the same standard.
