Abstract [en]
In this article, we propose a hybrid glide-symmetric metasurface which presents an electromagnetic bandgap (ERG) behavior at the Ka-band. The innovative part of this work is the hybrid nature of the periodic structure, which is implemented with holes on two different technologies: printed circuit board (PCB) and metallic waveguide. These holes avoid propagation in an undesired parallel plate created between a PCB and a metallic waveguide. To demonstrate the potential of this concept, a hybrid glide-symmetric configuration was placed surrounding a PCB-waveguide transition at the Ka-band to reduce the leakage created by undesired air gaps. A prototype was manufactured and measured to corroborate the effectiveness of this technique to reduce losses and crosstalk.
