Abstract A novel method employing a phase modulated frequency selective surface (FSS) to improve the wireless communications coverage of enclosed spaces in the built environment through the filling of black spots is described. The design and fabrication of a phase modulated FSS are discussed, together with some initial measurements and results. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
