contents Establishing universal features of spoof-plasmonic systems beyond spectral properties is challenging due to the complexity of the specific physical realizations of spoof-plasmonic channels. We introduce a simple 1D scalar model reproducing the key properties of spoof-plasmonic channels and investigate manifestations of plasmonic-like features when only a few local resonances are present. We show that the channel between the source applied to the interior of the structure and the terminal ends (output ports) effectively comprises two subchannels. The activation of one of the subchannels depends on the spatial variation of the source, and therefore, the contribution of this subchannel in conventional systems is small if the source occupies a subwavelength region. We show that, in spoof-plasmonic structures, the activation of this subchannel can enhance significantly in the frequency region where the spoof-plasmonic effects are prominent. This demonstrates that even a few local scattering resonances may strongly impact the flow of wave-carried information.
