In this letter, an ultrathin frequency selective surface is developed with a square unit cell loaded with three ring slot pairs. The outer ring slot pair is loaded with metal shorts. It achieves one polarization-insensitive passband with sharp transition at Ka-band. The design is verified with full-wave simulated results, as well as the measured results. The fabricated FSS has a flat passband, and its measured 3 dB bandwidth is from 33 to 37.5 GHz. A complete angular stability study of the FSS has been conducted. Meanwhile, it can directly attach to the aperture of the horn antenna to lower the whole profile of FSS-antenna configuration. Working as a radome, this FSS can be a good candidate for radar communications and radar-cross-section reduction in radar stealth research area at Ka-band.
