This work presents a miniaturized angularly stable frequency selective surface (FSS) on a single layer substrate. Unit cell comprises of convoluted circular rings connected cross dipole and linear arrow headed dipole printed on both sides of the substrate. A closely spaced dual stop band resonances are obtained at 10 and 14.3 GHz with frequency ratio of 1.43. FSS shows a − 10 dB stopband bandwidth (BW) from 7.32 to 11.05 GHz (40.61%) and 12.68 to 15.97 GHz (22.97%) with >30 dB stop band rejection at center frequencies. FSS poses the features of stable performance under change in polarization and angularly stable response up to 60° incident angle. Later the proposed FSS is printed on grounded thick dielectric substrate and it shows broadband reflection type co to cross polarization conversion from 7.2 to 17.32 GHz (82.54%) with polarization conversion ratio >80% and oblique angle stability up to 35°. To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first time in literature a single unit cell geometry with two different properties, spatial filtering on transmission and polarization conversion on reflection have been designed and analyzed in details. A finite array with size 25 × 25 of the proposed FSS is fabricated and the measured filter response shows a good agreement with simulated performance at normal and oblique incidences. The proposed FSS is used as a reflector of a dual band monopole antenna and the simulation results shows gain improvement of 5.51 and 3.8 dB at the two stopband frequencies.
