Abstract
- In this work, we report an ultra-thin and compact SSPPs-based waveguide band-pass filter with metals etched on the top surface of substrate, and the side and bottom surfaces of substrate also are covered with metals. The size of this filter is 1.07λ0 × 0.32λ0 × 0.02λ0 (where λ0 is the wavelength at center frequency). This proposed filter can inherit the merits of rectangular waveguide and SSPPs structure, and its lower cut-off frequency can be tuned by the width of rectangular waveguide, while the upper cut-off frequency can be tuned by the length of complementary comb-like structure. Gradient groove depths are also used to form a smooth transition from rectangular waveguide to SSPPs structure, realizing a good momentum match. The dispersion curves and electric field distributions have been thoroughly investigated to reveal the SSPP-based waveguide filter mechanism. A prototype is fabricated and measured. Both simulations and measurements validate that the band-pass filter proposed in this work has high-efficiency and low-loss transmission properties.
