Waveguide and FSS Inspired Waveguides Array: A Comprehensive Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents a detailed survey of waveguides and the most recent research efforts on SRR inspired waveguides. These are basically classified into various categories, such as arrays based on slot waveguides, open-ended waveguides, split ring resonators (SRR) based waveguides, and planar structure-embedded waveguides. Some practical difficulties or limitations for the development of these arrays have been illustrated, and their possible solutions are also suggested. A detailed review of different types of waveguide arrays has been included for researchers understanding.
