The holographic technique is one of the simplest methods for designing antennas based on metasurface. This paper presents a spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) leaky-wave antenna (LWA) based on the concept of impedance modulated metasurfaces by the anisotropic holographic technique. Instead of parasitic elements, anisotropic SSPP elements are exploited to achieve radiation with circular polarization.

In this paper, an automatic design method is proposed for unit cell in spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPP) with an almost arbitrary dispersion curve. In this method, the pixel configuration is considered for the unit cell and, by using the binary particle swarm optimization method, the proper topology of the unit cell is explored so as to reach the target dispersion curve. Unlike the traditional method of controlling the dispersion curve, which is performed based on changing the geometric parameters of the predetermined unit cell, in this method, there is no need to know the shape of the unit cell, and the dispersion curve of the modes of SSPP unit cell can be controlled independently with more freedom.

In this article, a new method to create an anomalous reflection in the desired direction is proposed. Two-dimensional grating surfaces consisting of four particles with the properties of a Huygens source are employed in each period. Then, this method is extended to the problem in which the grating surface is illuminated by a real source such as a horn.

This paper presents a novel single-layer dual band-rejection-filter based on Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SSPPs). The filter consists of an SSPP-based transmission line, as well as six coupled circular ring resonators (CCRRs) etched among ground planes of the center corrugated strip. These resonators are excited by electric-field of the SSPP structure.

The holographic technique is a promising way to manipulate light distribution and wave-front in the optical regime. In recent years, many researchers have extended this concept to microwave regime to manipulate phase, amplitude, and polarization of waves in a convenient way revealing diverse intriguing applications. Unlike the previous studies with optimization-based schemes, in this paper, we propose a simple route to design dual frequency dual-polarization holographic metasurfaces with negligible interference between the operating (lower and upper) frequencies.

In this article, several versatile electromagnetic (EM) waves are presented with predefined shapes and directions based on the holography and convolution theorem. Inspiring the holography theory, a reflective interferogram is characterized by interfering the near field distributions of the object and reference waves. In this regard, the interference pattern on the hologram could be viewed as the inverse Fourier transform of the object and reference waves.
