This paper presents a simulation and experimental
investigation of a frequency selective surface (FSS). The design is
achieved by using the Minkowski island fractal. Two structures
were designed with Minkowski island fractal level 1 and 2, which
act as stop-band filters with resonant frequencies of 9 GHz and 10
GHz, respectively. Both simulation and experimental investigations
were conducted. Simulation investigation was carried out using
Ansoft DesignerTM software, while experimental investigation used
an Agilent Technologies vector network analyzer – model N5230A.
