Open Wire Lines
TLDR
In this article, the properties of two-wire and single-wire transmission lines are compared on a comparative basis and the main domain of the twowire lines lies in the frequency range below 100 cm and that of the single wire line in the range above 100 cm.Abstract:
The properties of two-wire lines and single wire lines (surface wave transmission lines) are discussed on a comparative basis. The two-wire line is actually a system of two coupled single wire lines and thus requires a high degree of symmetry to maintain the desired wave mode. While the single wire line is more affected by bends it has the advantages that it is simpler in construction and is less susceptible to weather conditions. The main domain of the two-wire lines lies in the frequency range below 100 mc and that of the single wire line in the range above 100 mc.read more

Broadband and high-efficiency conversion from guided waves to spoof surface plasmon polaritons
TL;DR: In this article, a smooth bridge between the conventional coplanar waveguide with 50 Ω impedance and plasmonic waveguide (e.g., an ultrathin corrugated metallic strip) has been proposed in the microwave frequency, which converts the guided waves to spoof SPPs with high efficiency in broadband.

Single-wire transmission lines at terahertz frequencies
TL;DR: In this paper, an original way to excite surface waves on a single-wire transmission line was proposed, which is very well suited for the terahertz frequency range and allows the investigation of biological entities with high spatial resolution.
