Losses and dispersion in open inhomogeneous guided-wave structures such as microstrips and other planar structures at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies and in MMICs (monolithic microwave integrated circuits) have been modeled with circuits consisting of ideal lumped elements and lossless TEM (transverse electromagnetic) lines. It is shown that, given a propagation structure for which numerical techniques to compute the propagation characteristics are available, an equivalent circuit whose terminal frequency and time-domain properties are the same as the structure can be synthesized. This is accomplished by equating the network functions of the given single or coupled line multiport with that of the model and extracting all the parameters of the equivalent circuit model by using standard parameters identification procedures. This model is valid over a desired frequency range and can be used to help design both analog and digital circuits consisting of these structures and other active and passive elements utilizing standard CAD (computer-aided design) programs. To validate the accuracy and usefulness of the models, results for a mismatched 50-Ω line in alumina and a high-impedance MMIC line stub are included 相似文献

Modified broadside-coupled microstrip lines, suitable for microwave and millimeter-wave integrated and monolithic integrated circuit (MIC and MMIC) applications requiring wide bandwidths and tight couplings, are presented. Their analysis, based on the quasi-static spectral domain technique, is described. Using these broadside structures, a new class of broadside-coupled band-pass filters has been developed at X-band (8-12 GHz) with about 1-dB insertion loss. Fair agreement between the measured and calculated results has been observed even though a major approximation is used 相似文献

The basic concept and features are presented of double-sided microwave integrated circuits (double-sided MICs), which effectively utilize various kinds of transmission lines on both sides of a substrate. The fundamental circuits such as 180° hybrids (magic Ts) and many application circuits described here are very useful in developing microwave and millimeter-wave band equipment. The concept of the double-sided MIC technique is also suitable for application to monolithic MICs 相似文献

New types of planar transmission lines employing multilayer structures are proposed for possible applications in microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits. Detailed investigations are presented through numerical results calculated using the spectral domain technique. The newly proposed transmission lines have many attractive features such as a large impedance range, flexibility and ability to realize complicated, densely packed integrated circuits, as well as miniaturization through the use of thin dielectric layers. Additionally, they possess all of the inherent advantages of the CPW and microstrip line. Their use in microwave circuits is exemplified through a low-pass filter realized using the new slot-coplanar lines with less than 0.5-dB insertion loss and better than 20-dB return loss. The filter's measured and calculated performances also agree well 相似文献

The authors present an overview of tunable microwave and millimeter-wave bandpass filters realized in different technologies. Some general design principles are described. Recent progress in the performance of various tunable filters is reported. The authors survey magnetically tunable filters (ferrimagnetic resonance filters, magnetostatic-wave filters, evanescent waveguide filters, E -plane printed circuit filters), electronically tunable filters, and mechanically tunable filters. The typical performance parameters are summarized. This comparison shown that none of these devices can simultaneously satisfy all requirements for perfect tunable filters. For microwave systems where multioctave tuning is essential, a YIG filter is an obvious choice. In systems where the requirement of high power handling capability combined with low insertion loss, predominates, mechanically tunable filters and magnetically tunable E -plane filters are recommended. If the tuning speed is a crucial requirement, varactor-tuned filters or E -plane filters with ferrite toroids are devices of choice. For millimeter-wave design, the most promising structures are ferrimagnetic resonance filters utilizing hexagonal ferrite resonators or, up to 60 GHz, magnetically tunable E -plane printed circuit filters 相似文献

A quasi-TEM (transverse electromagnetic) analysis of multiconductor planar lines embedded in a layered structure involving lossy iso/anisotropic electric and/or magnetic materials is achieved. Conditions under which a quasi-TEM assumption is valid are theoretically determined. An efficient spectral-domain analysis is used to determine the complex capacitance and inductance matrices characterizing the transmission system. computation of the inductance matrix is reduced to the computation of an equivalent capacitance matrix when media characterized for a fully general permeability tensor are present. It is also shown that most actual monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) microstrip-type structures (where semiconductor substrates are present) and possible future applications including lossy magnetic materials can be analyzed by using the simple quasi-TEM model. The validity of the results has been verified by comparison with full-wave theoretical and experimental data on microstrip lines on magnetic substrates and slow-wave structures 相似文献

An efficient computation method is developed for solving the microstrip-type structures in which a number of conducting strips are located on several interfaces of dielectric layers. The method is applied to the coupled suspended microstripline with tuning septums on the underside of the suspending dielectric layer. The numerical solutions obtained by the new method are compared with available data. The method is believed useful in the design of tightly coupled structures such as the 3-dB hybrid as well as of transitions between different transmission lines for microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuit application. 相似文献

An architecture called the hybrid planar/non-radiative-dielectric (NRD) waveguide integrated technology is proposed as a building block for constructing microwave and millimeter-wave circuits. This hybrid approach of integration offers a unique possibility of exploiting inherent complementary advantages of planar structures and NRD waveguides for low-cost wireless applications while eliminating the potential drawbacks associated with both dissimilar structures. Compared to the existing NRD-guide related technology, the proposed framework consists of relocated planar structures on the top and/or the bottom plates of an NRD-guide, sharing the common ground planes. Such a hybrid scheme is particularly suitable for millimeter-wave systems in which active devices can be made with the planar-line technique while passive components can be made with the NRD-guide technique. The two subsets of a complete functional system are interconnected through a class of aperture-based transitions which can be designed to have wide-band performance. In addition, the multichip module (MCM) technique is readily achieved under this proposed scheme. Experimental prototypes, including passive-component and active-device, based on the new hybrid technology presented in this paper, show that the novel hybrid technology promises to be useful in the design of future microwave and millimeter-wave circuits and systems 相似文献

Magnetostatic wave (MSW) technology has been under investigation for more than a decade. Using ferrimagnetic films such as liquid-phase epitaxial (LPE) yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films, MSW devices and subsystems offer instantaneous bandwidths of up to 1 GHz at operating frequencies in the microwave bands (0.5-26.5 GHz). Because MSWs travel with velocities two-to-four orders of magnitude slower than electromagnetic waves, compact devices can be built using hybrid and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) techniques. These devices include delay lines, dispersive delay lines, filters, resonators, and directional couplers. Subsystems using these devices, such as electronically tunable delay lines channelized filter banks, delay-line discriminators, oscillators, and frequency multipliers can be used for applications in signal identification, control and processing directly at microwave frequencies. An overview of the MSW technology is presented and an assessment of the various devices and subsystems that can be built using thin and thick LPE-YIG films is provided 相似文献

A plane-wave-time-domain accelerated time-domain integral-equation solver is coupled to a SPICE-like transient circuit simulator to analyze electromagnetic platform-circuit interactions. The hybrid field-circuit simulator simultaneously solves surface-wire-volume time-domain integral equations that model electromagnetic interactions with the platform and modified nodal analysis equations that govern the behavior of the potentially nonlinear lumped circuits. A shielded nonlinear microwave amplifier is analyzed using the proposed scheme, and its immunity to electromagnetic interference is assessed. 相似文献

This paper describes millimeter-wave wide-band single-ended and balanced amplifiers using novel multilayer monolithic microwave/millimeter-wave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology. The fundamental characteristics of thin-film transmission lines and a 50-GHz-band multilayer MMIC directional coupler are described through measurements up to 60 GHz. A single-ended amplifier fabricated in a 1.1 mm×0.8 mm area, shows a gain of about 12 dB with a noise figure of better than 5 dB around 50 GHz. A balanced amplifier fabricated using the multilayer MMIC directional couplers and single-ended amplifiers, shows a gain of 10-17 dB with input and output return losses of better than 14 dB from 33 to 53 GHz. The transmission lines and directional couplers can be effectively combined with millimeter-wave active circuits without degrading the circuit performance or increasing the circuit area. To our knowledge, these are the first millimeter-wave active circuits employing multilayer MMIC technology 相似文献

Increasing interest in and greater usage of the millimeter-wave frequency bands has resulted in a need for better characterization of atmospheric effects at these frequencies. While attenuation is recognized as the most significant effect, recent measurements of fluctuations in intensity and phase caused by atmospheric turbulence have shown that these phenomena will also degrade system performance at both millimeter-wave and microwave frequencies. This paper describes the millimeter-wave and meteorological instrumentation used to make these measurements and gives selected results. It is determined that phase fluctuations as great as 1.5 radians and intensity fluctuations as large as 2.8 dB are observed over a 1370 m path in hot, humid weather. The effects of these fluctuations on the performance of practical, existing microwave phased array and monopulse systems are assessed. It is determined that phase fluctuations in particular will degrade the performance of microwave adaptive nulling arrays and monopulse trackers. 相似文献

Microscopic theory of hydrogen in silicon devices 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Incorporation of hydrogen has a strong effect on the characteristics of silicon devices. A fundamental understanding of the microscopic mechanisms is required in order to monitor and control the behavior of hydrogen. First-principles calculations have been instrumental in providing such understanding. We first outline the basic principles that govern the interaction between hydrogen and silicon, followed by an overview of recent first-principles results for hydrogen interactions with silicon. We show that H2 molecules are far less inert than previously assumed. We then discuss results for motion of hydrogen through the material, as relating to diffusion and defect formation. We also discuss the enhanced stability of Si-D compared to Si-H bonds, which may provide a means of suppressing defect generation. We present a microscopic mechanism for hydrogen-hydrogen exchange, and examine the metastable ≡SiH2 complex formed during the exchange process. Throughout, we highlight issues relevant for hydrogen in amorphous silicon (used in solar cells, sensors and displays) and in Si-SiO2 structures (used in integrated circuits). The broader impact of first-principles calculations on computational electronics will also be discussed 相似文献

A finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) algorithm for the efficient full-wave analysis of a comprehensive class of millimeter-wave and optical waveguide structures is described. The algorithm is based on a two-dimensional graded mesh combined with adequately formulated absorbing boundary conditions. This allows the inclusion of nearly arbitrarily shaped, fully or partially lateral open or shielded guiding structures with or without layers of finite metallization thickness. Moreover, lossy dielectrics and/or lossy conductors are included in the theory. The algorithm leads to a significant reduction in CPU time and storage requirements as compared with the conventional three-dimensional eigenvalue FDTD mesh formulation. Dispersion characteristic examples are calculated for structures suitable for usual integrated circuits, such as insulated image guides, ridge guides, dielectric waveguides, trapped image guides, coplanar-lines and microstrip lines. The theory is verified by comparison with results obtained by other methods 相似文献
