“…As there are extensive research articles and reviews mainly focus on the transmission based on SSPP waveguide with a few content of radiation [26][27][28][29] or active SSPP devices [30][31][32], this review focuses on the wider advanced applications for microwave engineering of SSPPs including passive devices, active devices and systems. Each part not only systematically discusses and reviews the transmission characteristics, but also classifies all the radiation types in detail, and typical systems are introduced in the end.…”

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are interactions between incident electromagnetic (EM) waves and free electrons on the metal-dielectric interface in the optical regime. To mimic SPPs in the microwave frequency, spoof SPPs (SSPPs) on ultrathin and flexible corrugated metallic strips were proposed and designed, which also inherit the advantages of lightweight, conformal, low profile, and easy integration with the traditional microwave circuits. In this paper, we review the recent development of SSPPs, including the basic concept, design principle, and applications along with the development from unwieldy waveguides to ultrathin transmission lines. The design schemes from passive and active devices to SSPP systems are presented respectively. For the passive SSPP devices, the related applications including filters, splitters, combiners, couplers, topological SSPPs, and radiations introduced. For the active SSPP devices, from the perspectives of transmission and radiation, we present a series of active SSPP devices with diversity and flexibility, including filtering, amplification, attenuation, nonlinearity, and leaky-wave radiations. Finally, several microwave systems based on SSPPs are reported, showing their unique advantages. The future directions and potential applications of the ultra-thin SSPP structures in the microwave and millimeter-wave regions are discussed.

“…The thickness of metamaterial absorbers is only a few tenths or even one-hundredth of the resonance wavelength, which makes them have the advantages of being lightweight, compact, and easy to construct. They have been demonstrated to be promising for a wide range of applications in terms of thermal imaging, bolometers, optical switches, refractive index sensors, solar cells, stealth technology, and so on [15,16]. However, metamaterial absorbers have usually exhibited single-band absorption ever since the first metamaterial absorber operating in the microwave region was reported [17], which greatly limits their application prospects.…”

A quad-band metamaterial absorber using a periodically arranged surface structure placed on an ultra-thin substrate is demonstrated in this paper. Its surface structure consists of a rectangular patch and four L-shaped structures distributed symmetrically. The surface structure is able to have strong electromagnetic interactions with incident microwaves, thereby generating four absorption peaks at different frequencies. With the aid of the near-field distributions and impedance matching analysis of the four absorption peaks, the physical mechanism of the quad-band absorption is revealed. The usage of graphene-assembled film (GAF) provides further optimization to increase the four absorption peaks and promotes the low-profile characteristic. In addition, the proposed design has good tolerance to the incident angle in vertical polarization. The proposed absorber in this paper has the potential for filtering, detection, imaging, and other communication applications.

“…In 2014, the concepts of coding metasurfaces and programmable metasurfaces were put forward [8]. Since then, metasurfaces have become associated with space/time coding and the metasurfaces can be interpreted as coding sequences [9]. Multi-bit coding metasurfaces enable to control EM waves flexibly by providing a higher resolution.…”

Based on an integrated design of metasurface units and antenna elements, a 2-bit metasurface array antenna with broadband low radar cross-section (RCS) covering large incident angle space is proposed in this study. The slot width's influences on the reflective phase and element radiation performance are analysed. Furthermore, a genetic algorithm is utilised to obtain the coding pattern of the array antenna with diffuse scattering characteristics. A wideband RCS reduction is achieved from 4.2 to 9.0 GHz under xpolarised incidence, and it has oblique incident angle stability ranging from 0°to 60°d ue to non-uniform element arrangement. The current cancelation phenomenon is found to reveal the RCS reduction mechanism. Besides, the proposed antenna gain is 15.9 dBi with a peak aperture efficiency of up to 90.8%. Experimental results have a close coincidence with the simulations, which verifies the capability of the proposed design.
