A compact radome for an antenna with a frequency selective surface (FSS) 10 circuit consisting of a meanderline structure 3 on a substrate 2, which reflects electromagnetic radiation at pre-determined frequencies and thereby reduces mutual coupling effects from adjacent antennas. The FSS may be made from a flexible polymeric sheet material, for example mylar polymer, and the meanderline structure may be a slot, or formed from a conductive material, for example copper (Cu), Aluminium (Al), or gold (Au). The serpentine structure of the FSS may be formed from, for example, rectangular, triangular, helical or fractal shapes, and may be designed so that the FSS is tuned to operate at long wavelength megahertz (MHz) frequencies, including microwave. |
