Abstract

A surface waveguide structure is studied using a theoretical model and simulated using Ansoft HFSS. A tensor impedance surface is surrounded by two lower impedance surfaces on a plane. Surface waves are guided losslessly within the inner region as long as it has higher impedance than the outer region. A theoretical model is proposed which predicts the dispersion relation of the waveguide using a ray optics method. Our tensor impedance surface theory can also predict the dispersion of scalar impedance surfaces. The theory and simulation show agreement for scalar and tensor impedance surfaces. Two applications of tensor impedance surface waveguides are presented.
