Abstract
A review on planar printed structures that are based on Matryoshka-like geometries is presented. These structures use the well-known principle of Matryoshka dolls that are successively nested inside each other. The well-known advantages of the planar printed technology and of the meandered nested Matryoshka geometries are combined to generate miniaturized, multi-resonance and/or wideband configurations. Both metal and complementary slot structures are considered. Closed and open configurations are analyzed. The working principles are explored do get physical insight of their behavior. Low cost and single layer applications as frequency selective surfaces, filters, antennas, and sensors, in the microwave frequency region, are reviewed. Potential future research perspectives and new applications are discussed.
