Frequency selective surfaces have typically been static and used in applications with fixed frequencies. However, certain applications could benefit from a reconfigurable frequency response. The frequency response of an FSS can be tuned by rotating the elements off of the surface of the supporting dielectric. MEMS technology is utilized in this project to achieve this goal. Samples have been designed, simulated, fabricated and measured at UCLA demonstrating this technology.
