Patent number: 11056796Abstract: The present invention provides a switching component of a directly flat-attached active frequency selective surface (AFSS) and fabricating method thereof. The present invention utilizes P-type and N-type thin film materials to fabricate a PN diode switching component capable of adjusting a resonance frequency of the AFSS, such that the AFSS together with the switching component could be integrally fabricated into a single thin film. Therefore, by utilizing a stepwise coating method to fabricate each layer with corresponding material, an equivalent length of a metal pattern could be adjusted, thereby changing the resonance frequency of the AFSS.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and TechnologyInventors: Jian-Long Ruan, Shyh-Jer Huang, Yang-Kuo Kuo
