| Sumario: | Abstract In this paper, we present to achieve a broadband miniaturized transmission waveguide based on complementary spoof surface plasmon polaritons (CSSPPs). For this purpose, a novel SSPP design that consists of a corrugated slot line and a group of additional interdigital structures (ISs) is proposed, which brings in an extra solution to control the cut-off property of CSSPPs. The transmission cut-off frequency of the proposed design decreases with the increasing of the number of the ISs. Since the width of CSSPP waveguide is directly related to the operating frequency, the degree of miniaturization can be modulated freely by carefully choosing the number of the ISs. A prototype of device with four-ISs introduced is designed and fabricated. And the cut-off frequency of the design decreases from 10 GHz to 5.3 GHz, when the ISs are added. Experimental results agree well with the numerical simulations. The proposed design illustrates great potentials in modern plasmonic integrated circuits. |
