A low profile dual-band frequency selective surface (FSS) for shielding the GSM applications is presented in this paper. The proposed FSS contains the unit cell made of modified double square loop elements with paper as its substrate. The overall thickness of the proposed FSS measures only 0.55 mm. The FSS offers band stop response at 930 and 1720 MHz with 18 dB shielding effectiveness for a bandwidth of 100 and 173 MHz, respectively, thus shielding the GSM signals. Additionally, the modified double square loop element-based FSS is symmetrical providing the advantage of polarization independency. It also exhibits angular stability up to 60° for both the horizontal polarized electric field (TE mode) and vertically polarized electric field (TM mode). A prototype of the proposed dual-band low profile FSS is fabricated. The simulation results are compared with the experimental results and are found to be in congruence with each other.
