Abstract
A bandpass FSS design is presented for duallayer energy saving glass panels, with the aim to improve RF communication in modern buildings. The proposed FSS design provides satisfactory transmission from 0.5 to 2 GHz. This design has several advantages over recently proposed dual-band FSSs: (a) its transmission bandwidth is significantly wider; (b) it does not block important communication signals such as GSM around 1800 MHz; and (c) it secures 2.45 GHz WLAN signals by confining them to the interior of the building.
