Abstract Electrically tunable band‐pass frequency‐selective surface (FSS) designs based on a single diode and a series diode‐pair configuration are proposed. The diodes are biased with the aid of surface mount resistors. The tunability is demonstrated numerically and experimentally, in a waveguide setup, over the frequency range 1.6–2.7 GHz. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
