This work presents an investigation of frequency selective surfaces (FSSs), with cross dipole, square loop, and triangular patch elements printed on textile substrates which exhibit some advantages over typical dielectric substrates used in FSS structures, such as high flexibility, low weight, low cost, and ease fabrication. Among these advantages, flexibility is certainly the most important one, allowing the FSS geometry to be used in many microwave circuit applications. Simulated results are obtained using both an implementation of the wave concept iterative procedure and Ansoft Designer commercial software for comparison purpose. Furthermore, textile FSS prototypes are built and measured to validate the simulated results. Good agreement is reported between simulated and measured results. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
