This research investigates a multi-resonant frequency selective surface (FSS) structure with convoluted meander line. An equivalent circuit analysis was conducted in three different 10×10 array structures having 200 mm × 200 mm size with 10 mm × 10 mm unit cell. The simple plus structure achieved a single resonant frequency of 10 GHz at −27 dB, dual frequencies of 4.6 GHz at −22 dB and 11.6 GHz at −28 dB while increasing the length of meander lines to three turns. By adding an extra six turns for a total of nine turns, the structure achieved three resonant frequencies of 3.4G Hz at −28 dB, 10.6 GHz at −22 dB and 16 GHz at −20 dB. The polarization insensitivity and transmission coefficient in transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes has been validated with the equivalent circuit model (ECM) and tested with measurement also. The result demonstrates that the proposed FSS can be applied for WiMax, X and Ka-band wireless communication and radar systems applications.
