This research paper focusses on the development of a triple stop-band frequency-selective surface (FSS) positioned on an FR4 dielectric material with the substrate dimension of \(0.08\lambda_{0} \times 0.08\lambda_{0}\) , where \(\lambda_{0}\) is the free-space wavelength of the lowest resonance at 2.4 GHz. The triple stop-band phenomenon is simple and attractive considering the simple structure, size, design methodology and angular stability. \(S_{21}\) is the measure of the fabricated FSS for different elevation angles under transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarisations. The proposed polarisation-insensitive structure covers three valuable stop bands of 2.15–2.59 GHz, 4–5.65 GHz and 7.25–9.2 GHz at 2.4, 5.1 and 8.2 GHz for EM shielding. An angular stability of \(80^{\circ }\) with a minimum frequency ratio of 1.62 is achieved. It can be used for WiFi, WLAN and X-band satellite applications.
