In this paper, a titled-beam antenna based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) transmission lines (TLs) is proposed. The parallel SSPPs-TL is a slow-wave TL, which is able to limit waves in the TL strictly. By periodically introducing a set of tapered stubs along the SSPPs-TL, the backward endfire beams are formed by the surface waves in the slow-wave radiation region. Then, through the placement of a big metal plate below the endfire antenna, the backward endfire beams are tilted, and the tilted angle of the beams are steered by the distance of the metal plate and antenna. Over the band of 5.7 GHz~7.0 GHz, the tilted antenna performs constant shapes of radiation patterns. The gain keeps stable at around 12 dBi and the 1-dB gain bandwidth is 20%. The measured results of the fabricated prototypes confirm the design theory and simulated results.

Traveling wave-based fault location has attracted more and more attention from industries worldwide. This theory allowed the implementation of functions in order to increase the reliability of the obtained fault location results. Among existing functions, the classical one-terminal method requires the detection of the wave reflected from the fault, which is still considered a challenging task. A commercial relay was released with a function able to identify these reflected waves by evaluating patterns and weighted hypotheses, identifying the wavefront most likely to be the one re ected from the fault. However, as this function is embedded into a relay, it is not possible to change the method settings. Thus, this paper presents a validation of this function which is implemented externally to the relay. Besides, its application is extended for transmission lines to which the relay can not be applied, such as huge HVDC lines.
