A decade ago, non-radiative wireless power transmission re-emerged as a promising alternative to deliver electrical power to devices where a physical wiring proved to be unfeasible. However, existing approaches are neither scalable nor efficient when multiple devices are involved, as they are restricted by factors like coupling and external environments. Zenneck waves are excited at interfaces, like surface plasmons and have the potential to deliver electrical power to devices placed on a conducting surface. Here, we demonstrate, efficient and long range delivery of electrical power by exciting nonradiative waves over metal surfaces to multiple loads. Our modeling and simulation using Maxwells equation with proper boundary conditions shows Zenneck type behavior for the excited waves and are in excellent agreement with experimental results. In conclusion, we 1 arXiv:1903.10294v1 [physics.app-ph]

“…Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are special electromagnetic (EM) waves bound on the interface of two materials where the real parts of permittivity are opposite in sign [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The use of SPPs in technology has originated the novel research field of plasmonics, whose applications are found in several fields ranging from optoelectronics [9][10][11][12][13], nanomedicine [14][15][16][17][18], and membrane technology [19][20][21].…”

A compact slot-coupled endfire radiation antenna based on a tapering spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) structure with high efficiency is proposed in this paper. A narrow slot balun is designed to feed the SSPPs structure rather than to work as the primary radiator. Simulated results show that the odd SPP mode is successfully excited on the tapering SSPPs structure, which contributes to the endfire radiation. Due to the high confinement of SSPPs, the proposed antenna shows low RCS within the frequency band of 1.5 GHz-4 GHz and 5.6 GHz-8 GHz. A prototype is fabricated and tested. Simulated and measured results show good agreement that the proposed antenna can provide stable endfire radiation patterns within the frequency band of 2 GHz-3.4 GHz. The maximum gain reaches 8 dBi, and the average efficiency over this bandwidth is 80%. The high-efficiency endfire SSPPs antenna with balanced broad band and high gain has a promising application in communication systems and integrated circuits.

“…Finally, in 2017 Prof. Cioffi disclosed a novel method for providing Terabits per second over existing Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) by exciting a guided mode between twisted-pairs within a DSL binder and using MIMO-like processing to handle the various modes propagating along the waveguide [15]. Although propagation in TDSL is still guided, the propagating wave is likely a Surface Plasmon Polaritron which has a very different nature from the Sommerfeld waves addressed here and it is excited at infrared frequencies or higher [16].…”

We study an old but unconventional waveguiding technique based on the use of overhead bare metal Medium Voltage (MV) power lines as open waveguides and not as transmission lines. This technique can be used in support of 5G applications such as backhauling and broadband access in the mmW frequency range or above. Although the analysis of open waveguides dates back a century or more, very few communications oriented papers are available in the literature and there is today no commonly agreed upon channel model. This paper offers a first step in covering this gap by first solving numerically the characteristic equation derived from Maxwell equations, then deriving an analytical expression for the transfer function, and finally reporting for the first time capacity values for bare metal open waveguides. A channel capacity of 1 Tbps over 100 m can be achieved using a single overhead Medium Voltage power line, 1 W of total transmitted power, and the 1 − 100 GHz band.
