Abstract

A novel Tunable Multi Layer Multi Dielectric High Impedance Surface (TMMD-HIS) Reflector is proposed and designed in Ansoft HFSS software. The structure of TMMD-HIS consists of square metal patch arrays arranged in three dimensional, connecting vias, dielectric substrates arranged in ascending order. It exhibits two important properties first one barrier to EM waves in certain band of frequencies. Second it reflects the waves with a co-efficient of +1. Some important parameters of TMMD-HIS reflectors architecture and its effect on reflection phase characteristics, operating frequency and band width is investigated and results are presented.
