Abstract

In this paper, we report the design, analysis, and development of spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP)-based reconfigurable band-pass filter using a planar ring resonator. A transition from quasi-transverse electromagnetic (QTEM) mode of microstrip to SSPP mode was implemented which has been subsequently used to develop a reconfigurable band-pass filter. Trapezoidal shape periodically corrugated metallic grooves etched on the planar metallic surface have been used in the implementation of this transition. In the designed transition, impedance and mode matching between QTEM mode and SSPP mode have been achieved using gradient grooves. The developed transition has been used in the characterization of a ring resonator corrugated with the periodical array of the trapezoidal shape grooves. This SSPP ring resonator shows multiple passbands at different frequencies within the specified frequency range. Varactor diodes have been incorporated in the SSPP ring resonator to obtain tunable passband. Three types of varactor-tuned circuits have been experimentally implemented and characterized using SMV2019-079LF diode package. These circuits will pave the path for development of other front-end circuit elements using the concept of spoof SPP.
