Abstract
In this article, a novel differential bandpass filter based on periodic spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) is proposed. It consists of a pair of double-layer SSPPs using double-sided parallel-strip line (DSPSL), a pair of single-layer SSPPs, and a 180° phase inverter. The transmission characteristics of the proposed SSPPs’ structure are analyzed by the differential-mode and common-mode method, and also applied to design the differential filter. To validate the design concept, a differential filter sample has been designed, fabricated, and measured. The simulated and measured results indicate a 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 25.5% (frequency 5.5 GHz), and a wide 20-dB common-mode suppression from 2.9 to 8 GHz can be achieved for the differential filter.
