The spoof surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waveguide, which could support well-confined waves along an ultrathin corrugated metallic strip, is one of the most advantageous candidates in integrated circuits due to remarkable properties low crosstalk, loss, and packaging minimization. Many devices based on SPP waveguide have emerged, but it still a challenge manipulate freely real-time. Here, we propose programmable multifunctional device by loading varactor diodes between adjacent teeth...
