Abstract

Abstract: A dual-band frequency selective surface (FSS) consisting of one larger and four smaller regular Jerusalem-cross slots was designed to improve the transmission effect of signals through an energy-saving glass at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz for Bluetooth and wireless local area network applications, respectively. Reflections from the energy-saving glass sculptured with the dual-band FSS are improved by a factor of 10 and 3 dB at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, respectively, while the transmissions of the energy-saving glass sculptured with the dual-band FSS are improved by a factor of 50 and 40 dB at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The ratio of area occupied by the dual-band FSS to area of the energy-saving glass is 35.6%, which may degrade thermal isolation capability but can greatly improve communication quality for wireless communications.
