Hybrid folded microstrip and slotline (HFMS) spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) are developed to design a balanced bandpass filter (BPF). The proposed HFMS SSPPs can lower the upper cut-off frequency for size reduction of nearly 65%. Microstrip-to-slotline transition structure is adopted for feeding structure. Under differential mode (DM) operation, a band-pass response is formed by the high-pass microstrip-toslotline transition structure and low-pass SSPP structure. Under common mode (CM) operation, high CM suppression is achieved due to intrinsic CM rejection ability of microstrip-to-slotline transition structure. Finally, a balanced BPF with compact size and high CM suppression is fabricated, and measured.
