(a–f) The near-electric-field distribution (y components) that is simulated in an x-z plane 0.1 mm above the structures. (a–c) For the microstrip at 6 GHz, 9.5 GHz, and 13.5 GHz, respectively. (d–f) For the SPP TL at 6 GHz, 9.5 GHz, and 13.5 GHz, respectively. (g–l) The near-electric-field distribution that is measured in a plane 1 mm above the prototypes. (g–i) For the microstrip at 6 GHz, 9.5 GHz, and 13.5 GHz, respectively. (j–l) For the SPP TL at 6 GHz, 9.5 GHz, and 13.5 GHz, respectively.
