Abstract

In this paper, a novel kind of mode composite transmission line (MC-TL) is proposed, and a dual-band power divider with a large frequency ratio using this novel MC-TL for 5G communication systems was developed. The proposed MC-TL was developed using spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) and a corrugated substrate-integrated waveguide (CSIW) transmission line, which supports both a surface plasmon mode and TE10 mode, independently. The surface plasmon mode operates in the grooves of the surface metal layer, while the TE10 mode works in the substrate between two metal layers. These two parts can transmit different modes at independent frequencies. This structure can be used in dual-band transmission lines with a high frequency ratio. The characteristics and design of the MC-TL (SSPPs and CSIW) are analyzed and illustrated. The MC-TL was fabricated and measured to demonstrate its performance. Moreover, based on the proposed MC-TL, a dual-band power divider with a large frequency ratio (operating at 3 GHz and 28 GHz simultaneously) was also designed and fabricated. It can cover the frequency of a fifth-generation communication system perfectly. The measured outcomes align closely with the simulated results, demonstrating robust agreement and showcasing excellent transmission capabilities.
