Abstract A multifunctional beam splitting frequency selective surface (FSS) is modeled, analyzed, and tested in transmission and reflection modes. The proposed FSS comprises a C-shaped split-ring resonator designed and fabricated on an ultrathin, flexible polyimide material. When a linearly polarized incident wave interacts with the unit cell of the proposed FSS, half of the wave is reflected, and the other half is transmitted at two frequency bands from 5.8–6.2 GHz and 18.5–22 GHz. Moreover, the proposed FSS is angularly stable upto 40° and also performs simultaneous beam splitting and quarter-wave operation within one of its two bands of operation i.e., from 16.5–18.2 GHz. Such flexible beam splitting FSSs with polarization transformation operation and having angular stability, size miniaturization and multi-band operation is a specialized component having potential to be used for electromagnetic wave manipulation in antenna systems, radar technology, stealth technology, wireless communication, satellite communication, medical imaging, security and surveillance, aerospace and defense, and automotive radar.
