We show that such a structure supports a set of deep subwavelength propagating modes and that it exhibits properties of a single mode waveguide at any fixed frequency which is below the plasma frequency of the wires.

Two configurations are investigated as working examples of the proposed tuning technique. Initially, a tunable high impedance meta-surface is being studied, consisting of a square loop element printed on a dielectric substrate and placed over a ground plane creating an air cavity. Subsequently, the transmission and reflection properties of double layer meta-surfaces consisting of two square aperture arrays printed on dielectric substrates and separated by an air cavity are presented. Tuning of the reflection phase of the high impedance meta-surface and the bandpass filter response of the double layer meta-surface is achieved by means of piezoelectric actuators positioned around the surfaces. The proposed actuators dynamically change the thickness of the air cavities in both configurations, due to their property of expanding vertically under DC biasing, which results in tuning the reflection and transmission characteristics of the structures.","PeriodicalId":151955,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128438639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We implement the metasurface by an array of sub-wavelength metallic blocks drilled with dielectric holes. By mapping the corresponding surface impedance to the size of dielectric hole, we can shape the quasi-periodic distribution of spoof SPP structure. Combining with the holographic antenna technology and radiation theory of leaky-wave, we design a planar spiral antenna, which can generate the radiations of two reversely circular polarizations in the two sides of planar antenna. The design can be extended to millimeter-wave or THz regimes by scaling down the structure.","PeriodicalId":151955,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116686621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
