MTT/AP Chapter Technical Meeting: Microwave Windows and Absorbers
This talk will present multi-pole tunable frequency selective surface (FSS) filters and absorbers based on admittance inverter interlayers and plasma shells. Recently, we have successfully designed and validated two-pole and three-pole bandpass FSS filters with maximally flat inband responses while placing the adjacent resonant FSS layers at less than λ/20 distance apart. The separation between the FSS layers can be arbitrary, thus providing flexible design control of both passband response and overall filter thickness. If low profile is desired, FSS layer may be placed at a very close proximity. But if structural rigidity is required, FSS layers can also be placed at a moderate distance apart without sacrificing filter response. Given arbitrary spacing between the FSS layers, inter-coupling layer can be tuned to deliver desirable filter response. Furthermore, thickness customizable multi-layered FSS filters and absorbers allow simpler integration of tuning elements. In our work, plasma shells (hollow gas encapsulating structures) are used to tune the FSS filters and absorbers. When the voltage is applied across the shells the gas contained inside shells ionizes and forms plasma. Recently we have demonstrated a switchable FSS bandpass filters by integrating plasma-shells into two-pole FSS filters based on inverter interlayers. Building onto our initial results, we are currently working on realizing tunable multi-layered Jaumann absorber using electronically tunable plasma-shells.
