Experimental study demonstrates strain-tunable dual-band electromagnetic filtering in a flexible 3D surface, highlighting potential for reconfigurable wireless devices.
A mechanically reconfigurable flexible frequency selective surface (FSS) with dual‐band and polarization selectivity is proposed based on buckling‐guided 3D assembly strategy. The structure consists of periodically arranged symmetric double split‐ring resonators (SRRs) in a bilayer configuration. By releasing the prestrain in a stretched substrate, a deterministic 3D architecture is formed, enabling continuous and reversible structural reconfiguration under biaxial tensile strain. The deformation modulates the coupling between incident electromagnetic waves and the resonant units, resulting in polarization‐selective transmission. For transverse magnetic wave, the structure exhibits a distinct dual‐stopband response, with resonant frequencies shifting toward lower frequencies as the tensile strain increases, while high transmission is maintained for transverse electric waves across the measured frequency range. The mechanical and electromagnetic models are employed to analyze the response mechanism, and the effects of the SRR radius and gap width on resonance tuning are discussed. The proposed structure features simple fabrication, stable performance under large deformation, and precise tunability, offering promising applications in flexible tunable filters and polarization‐selective electromagnetic devices.
