Abstract: To reduce the insertion loss of the filter and achieve filter miniaturization, a novel Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SSPPs) excitonic low-pass filter with a notched band is proposed, which consists mainly of novel bow-tie cells structure, transition structures, and InterDigital Capacitance Loaded Loop Resonators (IDCLLR) structures used for accomplishing the notch function. The novel bow-tie cell structure is composed of an elliptical patch rotated 30° to the left and right directions, which can significantly reduce insertion loss after hollowing out. Compared with the traditional rectangular and elliptical structure, novel bow-tie structure has better dispersion characteristics, which improves greatly the filter's in-band flatness and out-of-band rejection capability. In addition, the dispersion curves of different cell structures such as rectangles, ellipses, trapezoids and novel bow-tie are analyzed, and the S21 and S11 curves of filters are simulated. The results show that the novel bow-tie unit structure has advantages in dispersion characteristics, insertion loss, low cut-off frequency and out-of-band suppression. Finally, the filter is processed and tested, and the test results show that the filter simulation results and test results match well, have good out-of-band rejection and in-band flatness, which can achieve notch suppression for specific interference bands. The size of the filter is 0.98λ0×0.17λ0. From the point of view of a new element structure is designed, this SSPPs filter achieves good performance and miniaturization. -
