Abstract

In this study, we report a design concept to obtain center frequency and bandwidth reconfigurable spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPP) band-pass filter using T-shaped spoof SPP resonator. The design, analysis, and implementation of the proposed filter have been given with detailed mathematical analysis. Tuning has been performed using varactor diode which is introduced at different positons in the T-shaped resonator. Since spoof SPP has high field confinement and enhancement, hence it offers low crosstalk and mutual coupling as compared with conventional microstrip which is desirable to make low-loss system. The filter has been fabricated using a 1.52-mm-thick microwave laminate and characterization has been done using Keysight Field-Fox analyzer N9918A. The fabricated filter has a reconfigurable center frequency from 4.2 to 4.4GHz with insertion loss ~4.2 dB and bandwidth reconfigurable from 4.12 to 4.52GHz with ~3.8 dB insertion loss in the tuning range. The proposed reconfigurable band-pass filter will pave an important role in the designing and developing of the flexible plasmonic circuits and systems.
