In this paper, we study the transmissivity of electromagnetic waves through stacked two-
dimensional printed periodic arrays of square conducting patches. An analytical circuit-like
model is used for the analysis. The model accounts for the details of the transmission
spectrum provided that the period of the unit cell of each patterned layer is well below the
wavelength in the dielectric slabs separating the printed surfaces. In particular, we analyze
the low-pass band and rejection band behavior of the multilayer structure, and the results …
