This paper provides the results of theoretical and experimental studies to realize a broadband quasi-optical diplexer with polarization-independent characteristics, using multilayer rectangular metal meshes. A rectangular metal mesh is usually used in the inductive region below the mesh resonant frequency. In the theoretical analysis based on the mode matching method, it is concluded that the anomalous resonance of the mesh appearing below mesh resonant frequency in TM oblique incidence is caused by the higher-order modes generated on the metal mesh surface. This phenomenon can not be explained by the equivalent circuit analysis, in which metal mesh is decomposed to two orthogonal metal strip gratings. A bricktype rectangular metal mesh is proposed in which the anomalous resonance can be eliminated from the operating frequency region. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that one can realize a new metal mesh of which the transmission characteristics below the mesh resonance do not vary in accordance with the incident polarization mode. A design method of quasi-optical diplexer using this brick-type metal mesh is described and the experimental results of the filter designed for diplexing the six, 4 GHz and fourteen, 11 GHz signals are reported. It is confirmed that broadband diplexing is possible with a stacked rectangular metal mesh and that the design method is legitimate.
