title = "A highly-confined dielectric waveguide enabled by conformal anisotropic impedance surfaces",
abstract = "In this paper, we report the analysis, design, and experimental validation of a conformal coating approach for achieving a highly-confined mode in a dielectric waveguide with a low dielectric constant. By controlling the surface electromagnetic response of the anisotropic impedance surface, it is shown that the original loose confinement of the guided mode of the dielectric waveguide can be dramatically improved over a broad bandwidth. The tensor impedance surface was further realized by an array of short dipole elements and characterized. The good agreement between simulated and measured results confirms the proposed concept and associated design methodology.",
