Abstract:
A radio frequency surface wave attenuator structure is provided. The structure may be configured to be operably coupled with a plurality of other radio frequency surface wave attenuator structures to form a metamaterial. The radio frequency surface wave attenuator structure may include a patch disposed in a first plane and defining a patch area and a backplane disposed in a second plane and extending along the second plane to be shared with the other surface wave attenuator structures. The structure may further include a via spring having a number of turns and being comprised of a conductive material. The via spring may electrically couple the patch to the backplane. The structure may further include a dielectric disposed between the patch and the backplane.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for assembling a radio frequency surface wave attenuator structure, the method comprising:\n physically coupling a via spring with a retainer, the via spring having a number of turns and being comprised of a conductive material, an inductance of the structure being based on the number of turns in the via spring; mechanically compressing the via spring between a patch and a backplane, wherein the patch and the backplane comprise a conductive material and the patch defines a patch area, a capacitance of the structure being based on the patch area; and affixing the patch to a standoff at a first plane and affixing a backplane to the standoff at a second plane, the via spring being disposed between the patch and the backplane and maintained in position by the retainer, the via spring being under compression thereby exerting a patch force in a direction of the patch to cause electrical coupling between the patch and the via spring and a backplane force in a direction of the backplane to cause electrical coupling between the backplane and the via spring, wherein the first plane is substantially parallel to the second plane and the capacitance of the structure is based on a distance between the first plane and the second plane, and wherein an attenuation frequency for the structure is based on the capacitance and inductance of the structure.
