Abstract. This paper reports some of the findings in a project done at Al-Ahliyya Amman University in Jordan. The project was to create a band-stop square loop and convoluted frequency selective surface (FSS) wallpaper. FSS wallpaper as a state of the art that may be applicable on wall to block Wi-Fi frequency working on the 2.4GHz frequency inside buildings by blocking all unwanted outdoor transmissions, regardless their origin (Taylor et al., 2011). The convoluted FSS differs from the designed square loop FSS, by getting a better performance in presence of different incident angles of the propagating wave (0°-60°) and to reach a stable resonance frequency for both a transverse electric (TE) and a transverse magnetic (TM) incident waves. The designed FSS is used to modify the indoor wireless physical propagation environment and reducing the interference level which enhancing the network security with in the buldings in the unlicensed 2.4GHz, as industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) radio bands (Sung et al., 2006).Keywords: Band-Stop, Convoluted, Frequency Selective Surface, Indoor Propagation, Simulation, Square Loop.1 INTRODUCTIONRadio signals generally propagate through reflections, refractions, diffractions, and scattering. Transmitted signal components arrive at the point of interest with various amplitude and phases values and these combine together to produce the received signal.Interference between neighboring systems is an important issue because of the rapid growth in the use of wireless communications systems, especially, in unlicensed bands such as the ISM band. This interference is not only degrading the system's performance (Kartal, 2011), but also compromising the transmitting system's security (Batchelor et al., 2009) & (Mais et al., 2001). From this point of view, it is essentially to create techniques that put a boundary between two frequencies used by neighboring systems which is reducing the interference in order to let the systems to work effectively.The problem is how to make a screening on 2.4GHz frequency and give the other bands the maximum transparency. Researchers and scientists were working on developing FSS by using many shapes: loaded dipole, Jerusalem cross, tripole, cross dipole, dipole, and square loop (Mais et al., 2001).Pervious researches showed that the square loop FSS has the best response and stability to work within the angular insensitivity, cross polarization TE or TM modes, and small band separation (Mais et al., 2001). Square loop FSS is used in an increasing way with different structures and convoluted shapes in order to enhance the figure of merit of FSS for band blocking filters (Qasem & Seager, 2012).In general case, the performance of FSS structures for different incidence angles of the propagating wave must exhibits stable band-stop filter. In addition, the FSS must show good frequency stability for both TE and TM polarized waves for angles from (0o-60o) (Qasem & Seager, 2010), where the signals are most likely to arrive at the surface between (0o-60o) with significant strength (Sung et al., 2006).To improve the efficiency of communication systems in an indoor environment by blocking the outdoor 2.4GHz, an FSS was designed and simulated. To block the received signal from outdoor environments, the FSS wallpaper placed in front of the brick wall. Mobile telephone, TV, radio, and the majority of communication systems generally use frequency ranges lower than 2GHz. These frequencies can still penetrate the investigated area via the designed FSS wallpaper (Qasem & Seager, 2009).2 FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACES (FSS's)A Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is a surface, which exhibits reflection and/or transmission properties as a function of frequency, in other word the band-stop FSS at the resonant frequency behaves like a metal sheet to radio signals (Sung et al., 2006).Square loop FSS, as shown in Fig. …
