Retrospective Theses and Dissertations. 2996. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/rtd/2996 ANALYSIS OF FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACES WITH FERRITE SUBSTRATES YOUCHENG LIU B.S.E.E.,Shanghai Jiao-Tong University, 1982 M.S.E.E.,Shanghai Jiao-Tong University, 1990 DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering College of Engineering University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 1996 ABSTRACT Frequency selective surfaces (FSS) have numerous applications in several microwave and optical systems. Most frequency selective surface structures have one or more dielectric substrates. In this work, instead of traditional dielectric substrates, ferrite substrates are used under different dc bias conditions. By using ferrite materials, one can change the spectral properties of these structures without physically altering them. An applied magnetic field (dc bias) on the ferrite substrate changes its properties and hence the electrical dimensions of the elements comprising the periodic structure.
