Abstract

This paper describes the fabrication techniques and analysis of hybrid composite plates with an active frequency selective surface (FSS). For fabricating hybrid composite plate with active FSS, an active FSS with a resonance frequency located in the C band can obtained using varactor diodes. The hybrid composite plate was first designed and simulated to determine its electromagnetic properties using the commercial software HFSS. After simulation, active FSSs and hybrid composite plates were fabricated by mounting with varactor diodes. After fabrication, free space measurement was used to determine the electromagnetic properties of active FSS and the hybrid composite plates. The simulation and experimental results were in good agreement.
