AUTOMATING THE DESIGN OF A BAND-PASS SPECTRAL FILTER WITH FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACES ON INHOMOGENEOUS SUBSTRATES

This paper focuses on the design of a Thermo-Photovoltaic filter with band-pass characteristics in the form of a Frequency Selective Surfaces with cascaded inhomogeneous dielectric substrates. Desired performance is achieved via the integration of a topology design methodology known as the density method with robust finite element-boundary integral (FE-BI) simulators.
