为降低滤波器的插入损耗以及实现滤波器的小型化,该文提出一种新型具有陷波功能的人工表面等离子体激元(SSPPs)低通滤波器,该滤波器主要由新型蝶形单元结构、过渡结构以及用于实现陷波功能的叉指电容环路谐振器(IDCLLR)结构组成。新型蝶形单元结构是由一个椭圆形贴片向左右方向旋转30°构成,经过镂空处理后可以显著降低插入损耗,相比传统的矩形和椭圆形结构具有更好的色散特性,大大提高了滤波器的带内的平坦度和带外抑制能力。该文对矩形、椭圆形、梯形以及新型蝶形等不同单元结构的色散曲线进行了分析,并仿真分析了滤波器的S21和S11曲线,验证了新型蝶形单元结构在色散特性、插入损耗、低截止频率和带外抑制方面所具有的优势。最后,对该滤波器进行了加工和测试,测试结果表明,该滤波器仿真结果和测试结果吻合较好,表现出较好的带外抑制和带内平坦度,可以实现对特定干扰频段陷波抑制。滤波器尺寸为0.98λ_(0)×0.17λ_(0)。该人工表面等离子体激元滤波器从设计新型单元结构的角度出发,实现了良好性能的同时,实现了滤波器的小型化。

To reduce the insertion loss of the filter and achieve filter miniaturization,a novel Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons(SSPPs)excitonic low-pass filter with a notched band is proposed,which consists mainly of novel bow-tie cells structure,transition structures,and InterDigital Capacitance Loaded Loop Resonators(IDCLLR)structures used for accomplishing the notch function.The novel bow-tie cell structure is composed of an elliptical patch rotated 30°to the left and right directions,which can significantly reduce insertion loss after hollowing out.Compared with the traditional rectangular and elliptical structure,novel bow-tie structure has better dispersion characteristics,which improves greatly the filter's in-band flatness and out-of-band rejection capability.In addition,the dispersion curves of different cell structures such as rectangles,ellipses,trapezoids and novel bow-tie are analyzed,and the S21 and S11 curves of filters are simulated.The results show that the novel bow-tie unit structure has advantages in dispersion characteristics,insertion loss,low cut-off frequency and out-of-band suppression.Finally,the filter is processed and tested,and the test results show that the filter simulation results and test results match well,have good out-of-band rejection and in-band flatness,which can achieve notch suppression for specific interference bands.The size of the filter is 0.98λ0×0.17λ0.From the point of view of a new element structure is designed,this SSPPs filter achieves good performance and miniaturization.
