The invention discloses a
broadband frequency selector and mainly solves the problems in the prior art that the
unit size is large and the performance is poor during the large-angle incidence of an electromagnetic wave. The
broadband frequency selector comprises a
metal layer (1) and a medium layer (2), wherein the
metal layer is positioned on the medium layer and consists of N hexagonal units (11) which are periodically arranged according to a
triangular grid; N is more than or equal to 3; each unit comprises a regular hexagon
metal patch (111) and a regular hexagon metal
wire frame (112) at the periphery of the regular hexagon metal patch (111) and a regular hexagon gap (113) is arranged between the metal patch and the corresponding metal
wire frame; an H-shaped gap (114) is vertically etched in the center of each edge of each regular hexagon gap; the H-shaped gaps are of the same size; and each H-shaped gap comprises two vertical seams of the same size and a horizontal gap which is sandwiched between the two vertical seams. The
broadband frequency selector can maintain the stability of a central frequency point and
high frequency selection characteristic during the incidence of the electromagnetic wave at an angle of 0 to 70 DEG, has the advantages of broad working
frequency band, low loss, simple structure and easiness in implementation, and can be applied to
radar domes and parabolic antennae.
