Capacitor-Loaded Spoof Surface Plasmon for Flexible Dispersion Control and High-Selectivity Filtering

Abstract
This letter proposes a new spoof surface plasmon transmission line (SSP-TL) using capacitor loading technique. This new SSP-TL features flexible and reconfigurable dispersion control and highly selective filtering performance without resorting to configuration change. Moreover, it requires much smaller linewidth than the conventional SSP-TL for achieving an extremely slow wave (or a highly confined field), which is quite useful for a compact system. To illustrate the design principle, several examples are designed within the frequency range of 2-8 GHz. Both numerical and experimental results are given in comparison with the conventional SSP-TL. It is demonstrated that the proposed technique provides a better performance in size reduction and dispersion reconfigurability.
