Abstract
This article presents the design and experimental characterization of microwave structures based on parity time-reversal duality symmetric bifilar edge waveguides (PTD-BEWs) realized through a parallel plate waveguide (PPW) loaded by a metasurface. The analyzed structures include transmission lines with bends and multiple line arrangements. Due to their unique symmetry properties, these structures are robust against backscattering, thus resembling the behavior of topological WGs, despite the fact they are reciprocal. This makes it possible to guide the electromagnetic (EM) waves along the edge with low insertion losses and unique matching properties. Measurements, performed in the frequency range between 24 and 32 GHz, have confirmed the feasibility of the theoretical concept.
