Description
Summary:In this article, we present a novel application of glide symmetry to differential lines with common-mode (CM) rejection filter properties. Two different topologies are investigated. First, glide symmetry is applied to a pair of differential lines where ground-connected mushrooms are employed as a CM rejection structure. The same idea is also used in a pair of differential lines where defective ground structures are introduced to stop the CM propagation. It is demonstrated that the CM rejection bandwidth is drastically increased when glide symmetry is exploited in both topologies when compared with their corresponding structures without glide symmetry. Furthermore, we show that the differential-mode propagation is hardly affected by the use of glide symmetry, ensuring the good integrity of the transmitted information. Experimental demonstration for both mushroom and defected ground structure is provided. Good agreement between simulations and measurements results is observed.
