Spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) mimic optical phenomena in microwave frequencies using ultrathin metallic strips. This review covers SSPP design, passive/active devices, and microwave systems, highlighting their integration advantages.

Area of Science:

  • Electromagnetics and Wave Propagation
  • Metamaterials and Plasmonics
  • Microwave Engineering

Background:

  • Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are optical phenomena at metal-dielectric interfaces.
  • Mimicking SPPs at microwave frequencies requires alternative structures.
  • Spoof SPPs (SSPPs) utilize corrugated metallic strips to achieve this.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the recent advancements in spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs).
  • To discuss the fundamental concepts, design principles, and diverse applications of SSPPs.
  • To explore the evolution from traditional waveguides to ultrathin SSPP transmission lines.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on SSPP design and applications.
  • Categorization of SSPP devices into passive and active types.
