Microwave devices for controlling surface waves

La Spada, Luigi; Hao, Yang

Abstract

In the last few years, great interest grown up in the control and manipulation of electromagnetic surface wave. The aim of this paper is to present a novel approach to design new devices able to manipulate them. To validate the proposed design, two structures, an all-dielectric device and a metasurface-based implementation, for surface wave cloaking will be presented and compared. Both devices show good performance in terms of wide bandwidth, polarization independence, and easy-to-fabricate. The proposed design methods offer great potential in a wide variety of practical application fields such as antennas, sensors, imaging and telecommunications.
