Abstract

In this work, a low-pass plasmonic filter based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) is reported by etching the two grounds of coplanar waveguide with periodic grooves. The cutoff frequency of the filter coincides with the asymptotic frequency of the SSPPs that are supported by the periodic grooves, which can be tuned by the depth of the grooves at will. In addition, a T-shaped groove is designed to increase the equivalent depth of the groove so as to realize the miniaturization of the proposed filter by decreasing the equivalent cutoff frequency of the SSPPs. Measured S-parameters of the two proposed low-pass plasmonic filters agree well with the simulated ones, which validates our ideas and designs. This simple low-pass plasmonic filter can find potential applications in plasmonic circuits and systems.
