Planar spoof surface plasmonic polaritons (SPPs) have attracted much attention due to the features of the subwavelength confinement and low transmission loss. The latter feature is highly desired in millimeter wave (mm-wave) and terahertz band. In this communication, a novel method is proposed to co...
