Analysis of Reconfigurable Frequency-Selective Surface FSS Using Light-Dependent Resistor LDR
摘要
This contribution investigates a proposed Frequency-Selective Surfaces (FSS) that can be reconfigured using light-dependent resistor LDR. The unit cell of the FSS comprises a split square ring equipped with a single LDR placed at its gap. The FSS is built on the FR4 substrate of 40X40 mm dimensions, and ring size of 29 × 29 mm to serve the WLAN application of 2.45 GHz frequency. When the LDR is adequately illuminated it exhibits a small resistance, and the ring behaves as a closed one, while in the dark condition, the resistance is high and the ring acts as a split ring. Therefore, the FSS works as a bandpass filter when illuminated, and as a bandstop filter without illumination. The LDR doesn’t need biasing wires that usually interfere with the structure of the FSS.
