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