A new type of spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) developed from conventional substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) using ring slots and vias is proposed in this paper. The asymptotic frequency and lower cutoff frequency of the SSPP structure can be easily tuned by changing the width of SIW walls and radius of the ring slot, respectively. A trapezoidal microstrip line and a small ring slot are used for the efficient mode conversion to smoothly transit from microstrip line to the proposed SSPP structure. The presented SSPPs have a flat bandpass filtering response with adjustable center frequency and bandwidth. In order to better verify the transmission and cutoff characteristics, two bandpass filters using the proposed SSPPs with relative bandwidths of 61.7% and 76.4%, respectively, are fabricated and measured. Good agreement between the simulations and measurements verifies the proposed design idea.

AbstractIn this paper, the characteristics of a class of transmission lines which support spoof surface plasmon polaritons are investigated both numerically and experimentally. In order to provide the characteristic impedance of spoof surface plasmon polaritons for PCB designers, the equivalent circuit parameters of the microstrip line periodically structured on subwavelength scale are extracted with the numerical method. It is found that the equivalent circuit parameters significantly vary with frequency when the subwavelength periodic structure is introduced into the edge of the conventional microstrip line. The results of time-domain measurements show that spoof surface plasmon polaritons have remarkable advantage over conventional microstrip lines and can be directly used in actual high-speed circuits, which is helpful for eliminating the doubts whether the metamaterials can be directly used in actual circuits.

This paper presents a novel single-layer dual band-rejection-filter based on Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SSPPs). The filter consists of an SSPP-based transmission line, as well as six coupled circular ring resonators (CCRRs) etched among ground planes of the center corrugated strip. These resonators are excited by electric-field of the SSPP structure. The added ground on both sides of the strip yields tighter electromagnetic fields and improves the filter performance at lower frequencies. By removing flaring ground in comparison to prevalent SSPP-based constructions, the total size of the filter is significantly decreased, and mode conversion efficiency at the transition from co-planar waveguide (CPW) to the SSPP line is increased. The proposed filter possesses tunable rejection bandwidth, wide stop bands, and a variety of different parameters to adjust the forbidden bands and the filter’s cut-off frequency. To demonstrate the filter tunability, the effect of different elements like number (n), width (WR), radius (RR) of CCRRs, and their distance to the SSPP line (yR) are surveyed. Two forbidden bands, located in the X and K bands, are 8.6–11.2 GHz and 20–21.8 GHz. As the proof-of-concept, the proposed filter was fabricated, and a good agreement between the simulation and experiment results was achieved.
