Design of the Square Loop Frequency Selective Surfaces with Particle Swarm Optimization via the Equivalent Circuit Model

In this study, Particle Swarm Optimization is applied for the design of Square Loop Frequency Selective Surfaces (the conventional Square Loop, Black Walnut Gridded Square Loop, and Double Square Loop) via their equivalent circuits.For this purpose, first the derivation of the equivalent circuit formulation is revisited.Then an objective function,
