1. In a space filter of a variety incorporating a surface disposed array of recurrent filter components mutually arranged in a periodic pattern, the improvement comprising:
- a surface incorporating a cluster of three discrete mutually spaced filter components, each said component comprising a pair of thin elements each extending from a terminal portion thereof to define linear portions, said linear portions being symmetrically disposed about, and at an angle of about 60°
, with respect to an axis bisecting them;
means defining a reactive load connected with each said terminal portion and configured as a loop symmetrically disposed about said axis and extending outwardly between said linear portions; and
the said axis of any given one of said three filter components being disposed with respect to an adjacent other one of said axes at an angle of about 60°
whereby said filter components within said cluster are mutually symmetrically disposed; and
the adjacent linear portions of said three filter components being mutually spaced and defining an open ended surface region whereby all portions of said surface are present in the array and in a continuous fashion.

Abstract
A surface used as a space filter in electromagnetic space. The filter surface is formed as a periodic array of recurrent filter components clustered in groups of three each incorporating pairs of elements extending outwardly at an internal angle of 120°. A reactive load present as a U-shaped loop is coupled with the terminal portions of each element and extends outwardly therebetween.

8. A space filter comprising:
-
a periodic array of recurrent filter components present as slots within a conductive surface, each said filter component including; a pair of thin, elongate elements each extending from a terminal portion thereof to define linear portions said linear portions being symmetrically disposed about, and at an angle of about 60°
, with respect to an axis bisecting them;means defining a capacitive, reactive load formed as a slot within said conductive surface and connected with each said terminal portion of the said linear portions of a said pair of elements and extending outwardly in the form of a loop symmetrically disposed about said axis; and said filter components being positioned within said array in recurring clusters of three discrete components arranged symmetrically in close mutual adjacency, the said axis of any given one of said three filter components being disposed with respect to an adjacent other one of said axes at an angle of about 60°
, the adjacent linear portions of said three filter components being mutually spaced and defining an open ended surface region whereby all portions of said conductive surface are present within said array in continuous integrally associated fashion. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
