Abstract

See full text

A filter utilizes a frequency selective, non-conductive, dielectric structure for filtering electromagnetic energy in the millimeter to far infrared frequency bands. The filter includes a non-conductive, high-dielectric, background material positioned to receive incident electromagnetic energy. A lattice structure comprised of a plurality of elongated elements formed of a non-conductive, high-dielectric material are disposed in a two-dimensional, periodic arrangement in the background material. The elements extend in parallel to one another through the background material for providing a range of frequencies over a band gap in which incident electromagnetic energy within the frequency range of the band gap is substantially prevented from propagating through the lattice structure. The dielectric structure can be adapted to operate as a band stop filter or a low pass filter.
