Abstrakt: We study propagation of surface electromagnetic waves along a metallic surface covered by various layered dielectric structures. We show that strong radiative losses, typical for scattering of a surface wave, can be considerably suppressed when a single dielectric step is substituted by gradient index or periodic layered structure.
