Resonant element of frequency selective surface, frequency selective surface and antenna device

A frequency selective surface comprising:

• a plurality of resonant elements arranged in the frequency selective surface, each of the resonant elements having a plurality of poles whose roots are electrically connected to a central part and whose tips extend in mutually different directions on an identical plane or on an identical curved surface,
• wherein each of the plurality of resonant elements is shaped such that a pole width at each of the roots is narrower than a pole width at any point between each of the roots and the corresponding one of the tips, and a pole width at each of the tips is narrower than the pole width between each of the roots and the corresponding one of the tips,
• each pole width being defined by a length of a line segment in a direction perpendicular, on the identical plane or on the identical curved surface, to another line segment connecting each of the roots to a corresponding one of the tips in the respective poles, and
• wherein an arrangement pattern of the plurality of resonant elements is formed such that, when attention is paid to two resonant elements which are arranged adjacent to each other in the plurality of resonant elements, a tip of one of the poles in one of the two resonant elements is close to the central part of another one of the two resonant elements within a range not contacting said another one of the two resonant elements;
• wherein the plurality of poles of the respective resonant elements include three poles disposed symmetrically to each other.

An antenna device comprising:

• a frequency selective surface on which a plurality of resonant elements resonating with a radio wave are arranged, wherein each of the resonant elements has a plurality of poles whose roots are electrically connected to a central part and whose tips extend in mutually different directions on an identical plane or on an identical curved surface,
• each of the plurality of resonant elements is shaped such that a pole width at each of the roots is narrower than a pole width at any point between each of the roots and the corresponding one of the tips, and a pole width at each of the tips is narrower than the pole width between each of the roots and the corresponding one of the tips,
• each pole width being defined by a length of a line segment in a direction perpendicular, on the identical plane or on the identical curved surface, to another line segment connecting each of the roots to a corresponding one of the tips in the respective poles, and
• an arrangement pattern of the plurality of resonant elements is formed such that, when attention is paid to two resonant elements which are arranged adjacent to each other in the plurality of resonant elements, a tip of one of the poles in one of the two resonant elements is close to the central part of another one of the two resonant elements within a range not contacting said another one of the two resonant elements;
• wherein the plurality of poles of the respective resonant elements include three poles disposed symmetrically to each other.
