As a result of the ever growing number of functionalities and standards to be supported by communication systems, as well as the constant development of radar and imaging technologies, a key research area in the field of microwaves and millimeter waves is ...
A model of the quasi-Debye loss mechanism in SrTiO3 and Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 perovskite ferroelectrics at microwave frequencies is presented. The field dependence and the size of the field-induced quasi-Debye loss contribution in SrTiO3 and Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 system ...
This work was carried out in a collaborative framework between Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and an industrial partner ST Microelectronics. RF MEMS passives are key devices for the RF front-end in modern transceiver and receiver architectures, o ...
Modern communication devices demand challenging specifications in terms of miniaturization, performance, power consumption and cost. Every new generation of radio frequency integrated circuits (RF-ICs) offer better functionality at reduced size, power cons ...
Bandpass filters for microwave frequencies realized with thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators (FBAR) are a promising alternative to current dielectric or surface acoustic wave filters for use in mobile telecommunication applications. With equivalent per ...
Properties and fabrication status of microdevices for microwaves based on polar ceramics are reviewed. We discuss bulk acoustic wave devices with AlN films, rf-MEMS capacitive switches with high permittivity materials, and tunable ferroelectrics. The relev ...
Ferroelectric thin films are widely studied nowadays as potential replacements for semiconductors in modern tunable microwave devices such as tunable filters, phase-shifters, frequency mixers, power dividers, etc. Recent progress in the deposition of compl ...
A strong de electric field dependence of the dielectric permittivity makes perovskite ferroelectrics promising materials for tunable microwave devices like phase shifters, tunable resonators, tunable filters etc. Dielectric loss is a crucial parameter for ...
A review of the properties of ferroelectric materials that are relevant to microwave tunable devices is presented: we discuss the theory of dielectric response of tunable bulk materials and thin films; the experimental results from the literature and from ...
