Abstract
Uniaxial wire-medium slab loaded with patches and impedance insertions (as lumped loads) is proposed for the resonant amplification of evanescent waves. The analysis is based on the nonlocal homogenization model for the mushroom structure with a generalized additional boundary condition for loaded vias. It is shown that by appropriately tuning the value of the lumped capacitance, it is
possible to achieve a flat dispersion behavior for surface waves resulting in a significant amplification of the near field.
