摘要
We report a theoretical and experimental demonstration of enhanced microwave transmission through subwavelength apertures in metallic structures with double-sided gratings. Three different types of aluminum gratings (sinusoidal, symmetric rectangular, and asymmetric rectangular shaped) are designed and analyzed. Our samples have a periodicity of 16 mm, and a slit width of 2 mm. Transmission measurements are taken in the 10-37.5 GHz frequency spectrum, which corresponds to 8-30 mm wavelength region. All three structures display significantly enhanced transmission around surface plasmon resonance frequencies. The experimental results agree well with finite-difference-time-domain based theoretical simulations. Asymmetric rectangular grating structure exhibits the best results with similar to50% transmission at 20.7 mm, enhancement factor of similar to25, and +/-4degrees angular divergence.
