A spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) waveguide structure with periodic T-grooves is proposed and investigated in this paper. Compared to the conventional plasmonic waveguide with periodic rectangular-grooves, the proposed waveguide support the guided SSPPs wave with enhanced propagation confinement. Moreover, the waveguide with T-grooves can achieve 39.4% decrease in length compared with the rectangular-grooves waveguide. The propagation properties of the SSPPs with enhanced confinement are able to improve by adjusting the shape dimensions of T-grooves. The effects of bend radius of 90° T-grooves waveguide on propagation performance are analyzed, and the good transmission characteristics of waveguides with small bend radius are verified. The experimental verifications of the T-grooves plasmonic waveguide filter and 3 dB power divider in microwave region are realized, S21-parameter of waveguide filter is very close to 0 dB from 0 GHz to 5.6 GHz. And 3 dB power divider achieves very good power equipartition from 0 GHz to 5.5 GHz.A spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) waveguide structure with periodic T-grooves is proposed and investigated in this paper.
