Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) means printed arrays of conducting electrodes situated on an insulated support. FSS play a major role in most antenna reception systems used in modern fixed or mobile communications. The contents of the book are: Editorial Preface; Scope of the book and acknowledgements; (1) Introduction to FSS; Part I (2) Single Layer and Planar FSSs of Infinite Extent; (3) FSS of Finite Extent; (4) Multilayer and Planar FSSs of Infinite Extent; (5) Curved FSS; Part II (6) Modal Transmission Line Approach for FSS Analysis; (7) Planar Periodic Structures; Epilogue; Index. The book provides two alternative approaches to FSS analysis: a) a standard electromagnetic boundary condition, a field approach which is developed by J. C. Vardaxoglu (chapters 2 to 5) and b) a modal transmission line approach which is developed by R. Orta and R. Trascone (chapters 6 and 7). The volume which is the fruit of works of well-known researchers in the domain, provides the theory, the step-by-step design and the associated numerical simulation of FSS. It represents an excellent realization in providing an up to date exposition of the problems related to FSS.
