Development of Reconfigurable Frequency Selective Surface Associating Cross Dipoles and Matryoshka Geometries

Abstract

A reconfigurable frequency selective surface, FSS, associating cross dipoles and matryoshka geometries is described in this paper. The proposed reconfigurable FSS uses as active element PIN diodes. With the associated geometries, three resonant frequencies are achieved, two fixed, related to the matryoshka geometry, and one that can be activated or not, related to the cross dipoles geometry. Differently from previous works, an inductor was inserted into the cross dipoles’ horizontal arms, maintaining its resonance for x polarization. The PIN diode inserted into cross dipoles’ vertical arms controls the respective resonance. The design procedures for each geometry, in addition to PIN diode and RF inductor basics are outlined. The expected results are discussed based on the analysis of the resonances of each geometry and the associated geometries, as well as the different PIN diode bias states (OFF and ON). A prototype was fabricated and characterized, obtaining a good agreement between the numerical and experimental results, with a reconfiguration bandwidth of 0.24 GHz, from 2.12 GHz to 2.36 GHz, for a variation of at least 10 dB between the OFF and ON states.

I. INTRODUCTION

With increasing number of users and diversity of services, telecommunications systems, especially mobile communication systems, use the frequency spectrum more and more intensively. Artificial intelligence (AI), cloud-based computing, Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cyber security and resilience, robotic process automation and fifth-generation mobile communications system (5G) are just some examples of the existing demands, requiring an adequate management of the radio frequency spectrum, imposing restrictions both in the frequency bands to be used, as in the power levels [11 B. Marr, “The 7 biggest technology trends that will transform telecoms in 2020”, Forbes, Oct. 14, 2019, available in: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2019/10/14/the-7-biggest-technology-trends-that-will-transform-telecoms-in-2020/#db1345660332.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr...
]. These restrictions have required new solutions, such as reconfigurable antennas [22 R. Panwar, J. R. Lee, “Progress in frequency selective surface-based smart electromagnetic structures: A critical review”, Aerospace Science and Technology, vol. 66, pp. 216–234, 2017.]-[44 Q. Guo, Z. Li, J. Su, J. Song and L. Y. Yang, “Active frequency selective surface with wide reconfigurable passband”, IEEE Access, vol. 7, pp. 38348-38355, 2019.] and electromagnetically intelligent buildings [55 U. Farooq, M. F. Shafique and M. J. Mughal, “Polarization insensitive dual band frequency selective surface for RF shielding through glass windows”, IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, vol. 62, no. 1, pp. 93-100, Feb. 2020.], [66 S. Cho, I. Lee and I. Hong, “Frequency selective film design for building walls for blocking wireless LAN signal”, 2018 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP), Busan, Korea (South), 2018, pp. 1-2.], in order to optimize the use of the spectrum and minimize interference.

In the implementation of reconfigurable antennas, as well as electromagnetically intelligent buildings, one of the adopted approaches is the use of frequency selective surfaces, FSS, in its reconfigurable form, reconfigurable frequency selective surfaces [22 R. Panwar, J. R. Lee, “Progress in frequency selective surface-based smart electromagnetic structures: A critical review”, Aerospace Science and Technology, vol. 66, pp. 216–234, 2017.]-[77 R. S. Anwar, L. Mao and H. Ning, “Frequency Selective Surfaces: A Review”, Applied Sciences, vol. 8, no. 9, 1689, Sep. 2018.]. Essentially, a FSS consists of conductive patches, or aperture elements, etched on a dielectric substrate, arranged in a planar periodic structure, with the property of filtering electromagnetic waves as a function of frequency. As shown in Fig.1, the frequency response of the FSS depends on the characteristics of the substrate, the geometry and periodicity of the unit cells, and the polarization of the incident wave [77 R. S. Anwar, L. Mao and H. Ning, “Frequency Selective Surfaces: A Review”, Applied Sciences, vol. 8, no. 9, 1689, Sep. 2018.]-[99 A. Gomes Neto, J. C. e Silva, I. B. G. Coutinho, M. de O. Alencar, and D. M. de Andrade, “Triple band reject frequency selective surface with application to 2.4 GHz band”, JCIS, vol. 35, no. 1, pp. 77-85, Apr. 2020.]. As FSS can let pass or block electromagnetic waves in free space for different frequencies, they are also known as spatial filters.

Parameters that affect the FSS frequency response: a) Substrate characteristics, b) Unit cell geometry, c) Periodicity, d) Incident wave polarization.

In FSS reconfiguration two main approaches are used: mechanical reconfiguration and electronic reconfiguration. In mechanical reconfiguration, mechanical modifications are explored, such as stretching, bending or rotating the basic element to obtain the frequency response adjustment. On the other hand, in electronic reconfiguration, discrete components, such as varactors, PIN diodes or MEMS switches, are incorporated into the basic geometry of the FSS [22 R. Panwar, J. R. Lee, “Progress in frequency selective surface-based smart electromagnetic structures: A critical review”, Aerospace Science and Technology, vol. 66, pp. 216–234, 2017.], [77 R. S. Anwar, L. Mao and H. Ning, “Frequency Selective Surfaces: A Review”, Applied Sciences, vol. 8, no. 9, 1689, Sep. 2018.]. In both cases, the variation of the frequency response can occur in discrete or continuous values, depending on the variation technique employed.

This paper describes the development of an electronically reconfigurable FSS, based on the association of cross dipoles and matryoshka geometries, with the PIN diode as active element. In this way, the obtained reconfigurable FSS operates in three frequency bands, two related to the matryoshka geometry and the third one to the cross dipoles. In this last one frequency band, the resonance is activated or not, accordingly PIN diode bias state (ON or OFF), modifying the FSS frequency response. To maintain the cross dipoles isolated and allow that polarization current pass to the PIN diodes, RF inductors are inserted into cross dipoles horizontal arms. In order to verify the proposed reconfigurable FSS behavior, a prototype was fabricated and characterized, confirming expected results.

After this Introduction, the reconfigurable FSS design is described in Section II, including geometries, PIN diode and RF inductor basics. The fabricated prototype and its characterization, with numerical and measured results for each design stage, are detailed and discussed in Section III. Results and conclusions are summarized in Section IV.

II. FSS DESIGN

This section describes the cross dipoles and matryoshka geometries, as well as the model used for the PIN diode. Furthermore, basics of RF inductors are also introduced. The expected results are discussed, before and after the insertion of the PIN diodes and RF inductors. The substrate is considered to have a thickness h and a dielectric constantεr.

A. Cross dipoles geometry

Cross dipoles geometry, shown in Fig. 2, is one of the simplest geometries, for which the resonance frequency occurs when the dipole length is approximately half guided wavelength [77 R. S. Anwar, L. Mao and H. Ning, “Frequency Selective Surfaces: A Review”, Applied Sciences, vol. 8, no. 9, 1689, Sep. 2018.], [88 B. A. Munk, Frequency Selective Surfaces - Theory and Design, New York: Wiley, 2000.]. Its resonance frequency can be estimated from (1) [99 A. Gomes Neto, J. C. e Silva, I. B. G. Coutinho, M. de O. Alencar, and D. M. de Andrade, “Triple band reject frequency selective surface with application to 2.4 GHz band”, JCIS, vol. 35, no. 1, pp. 77-85, Apr. 2020.], [1010 A. Gomes Neto, J. C. e Silva, I. B. G. Coutinho, M. de O. Alencar, I. de F. Albuquerque, B. L. G. dos Santos, “Polarization independent triple-band frequency selective surface based on matryoshka geometry”, 2019 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC), Aveiro, Portugal, Nov. 2019.].

in which fres is the desired resonance frequency and εref−dip is given by:

(2) ε r e f d i p = ε r e f M S + ε r e f C P M 2 .

where:

εref−MS is the effective dielectric constant for a microstrip, considering the microstrip width equal the dipole width, w, and a dielectric thickness h.

εref−CPW is the effective dielectric constant for a coplanar waveguide without ground plane, with s = 10×h and the center strip width equal to the dipole width, w [1111 R. Simons, Coplanar Waveguide Circuits, Components, and Systems, USA: Wiley, 2001.].

εref−MS and εref−CPW that can be easily calculated using one of the available software [1212 http://www.hp.woodshot.com.
http://www.hp.woodshot.com...
], [1313 https://www.emtalk.com/mscalc.php
https://www.emtalk.com/mscalc.php...
].

B. Matryoshka geometry

The matryoshka geometry in Fig. 3 was introduced in [1414 H. de P. A. Ferreira, Uma Proposta de Geometria para FSS Multibandas, in Portuguese, Master thesis, PPGEE, IFPB, João Pessoa, PB, Brazil, 2014.], [1515 A. Gomes Neto, A. G. DAssunção, J. C. e. Silva, A. N. d. Silva, H. d. P. A. Ferreira and I. S. S. Lima, “A proposed geometry for multi-resonant frequency selective surfaces”, 2014 44th European Microwave Conference, Rome, 2014, pp. 897-900. doi: 10.1109/EuMC.2014.6986580.
https://doi.org/10.1109/EuMC.2014.698658...
]. Differently from concentric rings, in matryoshka geometry the rings are interconnected, increasing its effective length and presenting, consequently, characteristics of miniaturization and multiband operation. However, this geometry was polarization dependent. In [1616 A. Gomes Neto, T. R. de Sousa, J. C. E. Silva and D. F. Mamedes, “A polarization independent frequency selective surface based on the matryoshka geometry”, 2018 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium - IMS, Philadelphia, PA, 2018, pp. 999-1002.], [1717 T. R. de Sousa, Desenvolvimento de Superfícies Seletivas em Frequência Baseadas na Geometria Matrioska Independente da Polarização, in Portuguese, Master thesis, PPGEE, IFPB, João Pessoa, PB, Brasil, 2019.] a polarization independent matryoshka geometry was proposed, as seen in Fig. 4, and it is the reference for the geometry considered in this paper. The square matryoshka ring is adopted, as it is easier to manufacture than circular one.

Fig. 3
Matryoshka geometry: a) Matryoshka ring, b) Expanded matryoshka ring.
Fig. 4
Polarization independent matryoshka geometry: a) Matryoshka circular ring, b) Matryoshka square ring

The matryoshka geometry is obtained by the following steps. Initially, concentric square rings are designed, as depicted in Fig. 5(a). Then, gaps are inserted at the same position in consecutive rings as Fig. 5(b). Finally, the consecutive rings are connected and the matryoshka ring is achieved in Fig. 5(c). Usually, Lxi = Lyi = Li, dxi = dyi = di, i = 1,2,3. The unit cell periodicity is determined by the filling factor, grating lobes limitations etc. However, in this paper the cross dipoles lengths determine the unit cell periodicity.

Fig. 5
Polarization independent matryoshka geometry step by step: a) Concentric square rings, b) Concentric square rings with gaps, c) Matryoshka square ring geometry.

The matryoshka geometry presents a multi-resonant behavior [1414 H. de P. A. Ferreira, Uma Proposta de Geometria para FSS Multibandas, in Portuguese, Master thesis, PPGEE, IFPB, João Pessoa, PB, Brazil, 2014.]-[1717 T. R. de Sousa, Desenvolvimento de Superfícies Seletivas em Frequência Baseadas na Geometria Matrioska Independente da Polarização, in Portuguese, Master thesis, PPGEE, IFPB, João Pessoa, PB, Brasil, 2019.], but in this paper only the first two resonant frequencies are considered. Analogues to cross dipoles geometry, the equations (3) - (6) provide a first approach for the two first resonant frequencies.

1. Matryoshka geometry - first resonant frequency:

(3) f r e s 1 = 3 × 10 8 L e f 1 ε r e f C P W ,

with

(4) L e f 1 = 3 ( L 1 2 w ) + 2 ( L 2 2 w ) + 3 ( L 3 2 w )

2. Matryoshka geometry - second resonant frequency:

(5) f r e s 2 = 3 × 10 8 ( L e f 2 2 ) ε r e f C P W ,

with

(6) L e f 2 = 3 L 1 + 2 L 2 + 3 L 3

It must be emphasized that (1) - (6) are initial design equations, a first step towards a numerical optimization. Furthermore, the incident wave is considered normal to the FSS (θ = 0°).

C. PIN diode

The PIN diode is a semiconductor device that operates as a variable resistor in RF and microwave applications. In general, two operating points of the PIN diode are considered, the forward polarization (low impedance) and the reverse polarization (high impedance), as illustrated in Fig. 6 [1818 Skyworks Solutions, Inc., Design with PIN Diodes – Application Note, Oct. 2012.]. In spite of a more accurate PIN diode model includes inductances, capacitances and resistances, as shown in Fig. 7, in many applications a simplified model, considering only the variable resistance, can be adopted. In this work the PIN diode BAR 64-03W was used, and its principal characteristics are presented [1919 Infineon-BAR64series-DS-v01_02-EN-1107806.pdf. Available in: https://br.mouser.com/datasheet/2/196/Infineon-BAR64series-DS-v01_02-EN-1107806.pdf.
https://br.mouser.com/datasheet/2/196/In...
].

D. RF inductor

Inductors are key circuit components in many electronic designs, from power and voltage-conversion circuits to higher-frequency RF and microwave circuits. Apart of its inductance, in RF and microwave applications parameters, such as DC resistance (DCR), quality factor (Q) and self-resonant frequency (SRF) are performance parameters that may have more relevance [2020 L. Green, “RF-inductor modeling for the 21st century”, EDN, September 2001, pp. 67-74.], [2121 Coilcraft Inc., “Basic of design - Investigating Inductor Requirements for Power and RF/Microwaves Designs”, Electronic Design Magazine, March 2014. Available in: https://www.coilcraft.com/getmedia/0216fb39-cc39-4cd9-a5b2-1578ce1c204e/Doc1189_Coilcraft_Basics-of-Inductor-Selection.pdf
https://www.coilcraft.com/getmedia/0216f...
]. In this work a fixed RF inductor 4310LC-132KEB, with 1.3 μH [2222 https://www.coilcraft.com/en-us/products/rf/conical-broadband/0-6-ghz/4310lc/#
https://www.coilcraft.com/en-us/products...
] was employed, and Fig. 8 shows its impedance curve.

E. Associating cross dipoles and matryoshka geometries

Cross dipole and matrioska geometries show a typical frequency response as illustrated in Fig. 9(a) and (b), respectively. By associating the two geometries, the frequency response presented in 9(c) is obtained. It should be noted that these results are only illustrative, without compromise between the values of the resonant frequencies and the geometry dimensions.

Fig. 9
Typical frequency responses: a) Cross dipoles frequency response, b) Matryoshka frequency response, c) Associating cross dipoles and matryoshka geometries

In a previous work [2323 A. Gomes Neto, J. C. e Silva, I. B. G. Coutinho, D. C. G. Fernandes, L. M. de S. Duarte, A. G. Barboza, “Desenvolvimento de superfície seletiva em frequência reconfigurável associando as geometrias dipolos cruzados e matrioska”, in Portuguese, 19° SBMO – Simpósio Brasileiro de Micro-ondas e Optoeletrônica e o 14° CBMag – Congresso Brasileiro de Eletromagnetismo, Niterói, RJ, 2020.], a reconfigurable FSS associating cross dipoles and matryoshka geometries was described, with the cross dipoles’horizontal arms short-circuited and PIN diodes inserted into the vertical arms, as seen in Fig. 10. In this case, for the x polarization the cross dipoles resonance is lost, despite the achieved reconfigurability for the y polarization. This is observed in Fig. 11.

After [2323 A. Gomes Neto, J. C. e Silva, I. B. G. Coutinho, D. C. G. Fernandes, L. M. de S. Duarte, A. G. Barboza, “Desenvolvimento de superfície seletiva em frequência reconfigurável associando as geometrias dipolos cruzados e matrioska”, in Portuguese, 19° SBMO – Simpósio Brasileiro de Micro-ondas e Optoeletrônica e o 14° CBMag – Congresso Brasileiro de Eletromagnetismo, Niterói, RJ, 2020.], in this paper the short-circuit in cross dipoles horizontal arms is replaced by a RF inductor like is seen in Fig. 12. The main objective is to achieve the reconfigurability for y polarization, but keeping the cross dipoles resonance forx polarization.

III. NUMERICAL AND MEASURED RESULTS

Numerical results were obtained using the commercial software ANSYS HFSS [2424 http://www.ansys.com.
http://www.ansys.com...
]. The measured results were acquired at the GTEMA/IFPB microwave measurements laboratory using an Agilent E5071C two ports network analyzer [2525 https://www.keysight.com/br/pt/product/E5071C/e5071c-ena-vector-network-analyzer.html
https://www.keysight.com/br/pt/product/E...
], two double ridge guide horn antennas SAS 571 [2626 https://www.ahsystems.com/catalog/SAS-571.php
https://www.ahsystems.com/catalog/SAS-57...
], and a measurement window (80 cm ×80 cm ×0.3 cm aluminum sheet, with 20 cm ×20 cm center opening) as shown in Fig. 13. Each unit cell has 30 mm ×30 mm(W x × W y), and the substrate is a low-cost fiber-glass FR-4 with εr = 4.4, loss tangent tg(δ) = 0.02, thickness h = 1.6 mm. For x and y polarizations, the wave incidence is considered normal to the FSS. As previously mentioned, the PIN diode BAR 64-03W [1919 Infineon-BAR64series-DS-v01_02-EN-1107806.pdf. Available in: https://br.mouser.com/datasheet/2/196/Infineon-BAR64series-DS-v01_02-EN-1107806.pdf.
https://br.mouser.com/datasheet/2/196/In...
] and the fixed RF inductor 4310LC-132KEB [2222 https://www.coilcraft.com/en-us/products/rf/conical-broadband/0-6-ghz/4310lc/#
https://www.coilcraft.com/en-us/products...
] were employed.

Fig. 13
Measurement setup.

The fabricated reconfigurable FSS has 7 × 7 unit cells, corresponding to a whole dimension of 210 mm × 210 mm. The PIN diodes were biased by an arrangement of 8 equal resistors (150 ohms), as shown in Fig. 14. Table I presents a summary of the dimensions of the cross dipoles and matryoshka geometries.

Table I
Dimensions of the FSS unit cell

Initially, the proposed structure was characterized numerically and experimentally without the RF inductors and PIN diodes, and Fig. 15 provides the results [2323 A. Gomes Neto, J. C. e Silva, I. B. G. Coutinho, D. C. G. Fernandes, L. M. de S. Duarte, A. G. Barboza, “Desenvolvimento de superfície seletiva em frequência reconfigurável associando as geometrias dipolos cruzados e matrioska”, in Portuguese, 19° SBMO – Simpósio Brasileiro de Micro-ondas e Optoeletrônica e o 14° CBMag – Congresso Brasileiro de Eletromagnetismo, Niterói, RJ, 2020.]. As expected, numerically the frequency responses for the x and y polarizations are the same, with only the answer for the y polarization being presented. We have to keep in mind that when we use Floquet’s port we are considering a perfect infinite and periodic structure, and it is not the real measurement scenario. This difference between the real and numerical scenarios becomes more important mainly in the results that involve higher order modes. Thus, a good agreement is observed between numerical and experimental results, verifying three resonances. Table II summarizes the values obtained.

Fig. 15

Table II
Resonant Frequencies - Reconfigurable FSS without PIN diodes and RF inductors

Comparing the results calculated for the matryoshka geometry, equations (3) - (6), with the measured results, there is a difference of 15.4% and 6.0%, in fr1 and fr3, respectively. However, from these values, the desired frequencies can be numerically adjusted without a greater computational effort. For the cross dipoles, equations (1) and (2), the observed difference is approximately 4.0%, a good result for a posterior numerical optimization.

Figure 16 shows the frequency responses (S21) for the reconfigurable FSS with the PIN diodes inserted, but without the RF inductors, corresponding to zero bias state. Herein the main objective is to verify PIN diode effects in the reconfigurable FSS frequency responses. In the numerical simulation, boundary Lumped RLC was employed, considering R = 10 kΩ [2424 http://www.ansys.com.
http://www.ansys.com...
]. A first point to be highlighted is the good agreement between numerical and measured results for the matryoshka resonant frequencies, as can be seen in Table III. For the cross dipoles, the resonant frequencies are observed for both polarizations. However, in the measured results, for x polarization, there is a coupling between the cross dipoles resonant frequency and the second matryoshka resonant frequency and a difference of 9.1% is observed.

Fig. 16
Reconfigurable FSS frequency response, with PIN diodes, and without RF inductors.
Table III
Resonant frequencies - Reconfigurable FSS with PIN diodes and without RF inductors

Including the RF inductors, as showed Fig. 12, results for the x polarization are shown in Fig. 17, considering zero (OFF) and forward (ON) bias PIN diode states. In the numerical simulation, boundary Lumped RLC was employed, with L = 1.3 μH (RF inductor), R = 10 k Ω (PIN diode OFF), and R=100 Ω (PIN diode ON) [2424 http://www.ansys.com.
http://www.ansys.com...
]. The three resonant frequencies are observed for both bias PIN diode states, with a good agreement when compared to numerical results. Table IV summarizes the results.

Table IV
Resonant Frequencies - Reconfigurable FSS with PIN diodes and RF inductors

Analogously to the x polarization, in Fig. 18 results are presented considering y polarization. For the OFF state, the three resonant frequencies are verified, and for the ON state, as expected, only the matryoshka resonances are observed, with a good agreement between numerical and measured results. In Table IV the results related to Fig. 17 and Fig. 18 are summarized.

Fig. 18

In Fig. 19, measured results are compared for both polarizations and bias states. For x polarization, the frequency responses are almost the same for considering ON and OFF states. In other words, the RF inductor properly isolated cross dipoles horizontal arms. For y polarization, the reconfiguration of the FSS is verified, with a reconfigurable bandwidth of 0.24 GHz, from 2.12 GHz to 2.36 GHz, for at least 10 dB difference between OFF and ON bias states.

IV. CONCLUSIONS

The development of a reconfigurable FSS associating cross dipoles and matryoshka geometries was described in this paper. Differently from our previous work [2323 A. Gomes Neto, J. C. e Silva, I. B. G. Coutinho, D. C. G. Fernandes, L. M. de S. Duarte, A. G. Barboza, “Desenvolvimento de superfície seletiva em frequência reconfigurável associando as geometrias dipolos cruzados e matrioska”, in Portuguese, 19° SBMO – Simpósio Brasileiro de Micro-ondas e Optoeletrônica e o 14° CBMag – Congresso Brasileiro de Eletromagnetismo, Niterói, RJ, 2020.], a RF inductor was inserted in the cross dipoles’ horizontal arms. In this way, the cross dipoles resonance for x polarization was maintained. However, the FSS reconfigurability was achieved by the use of PIN diode inserted in the cross dipoles’ vertical arms. Therefore, the proposed reconfigurable FSS presents three resonances, two fixed associated to the matryoshka geometry, and one that can be activated or not, associated to the cross dipoles geometry. Numerical and measured results were presented, verifying a good agreement. For y polarization, the reconfiguration of the FSS was verified, with a reconfigurable bandwidth of 0.24 GHz, from 2.12 GHz to 2.36 GHz, for at least 10 dB difference between OFF and ON bias states. The geometry proposed in this work, as well as the design procedures, can be used for other frequency ranges, with specific applications.
