A Compact Rejection Filter Based on 2.5-D Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons and Folded Spilt-Ring Resonators

Abstract

In this paper, a compact rejection filter is proposed based on 2.5-D spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) structure and folded spilt-ring resonators (SRRs). By embedding the folded SRRs into periodic grooves of the 2.5-D SSPP transmission line, a rejection band is created in the ultra-wide passband, resulting in pass-rejection-pass frequency characteristics. The rejection band and the cut-off frequency of the filter can be adjusted independently by changing the geometrical parameters of the 2.5-D SSPP rejection unit. Because of the compact folding structure, the lateral size is reduced by 54% compared with the conventional 2-D SSPP rejection filter.
