外加电压频率对液晶介电各向异性的影响

液晶材料的介电各向异性通常与频率有关。为进一步研究频率对液晶材料介电常数的影响,首先,使用紫外可见分光光度计(METASH UV-9000S)和表面轮廓仪(Contor GK-T)分别测量液晶盒厚度以及聚酰亚胺(PI)取向层厚度,通过精密热台(LTS 350)控制实验温度20℃,使用精密LCR表(Agilent E4980A)测定4种不同液晶材料在100～2 000Hz的频率内的平行和垂直排列向列相液晶盒电容;然后,利用液晶盒电容模型计算出不同频率下液晶的平行和垂直介电常数,并绘制频率-介电各向异性曲线;最后,分析频率对液晶介各向异性的影响。实验结果表明:温度一定,正性液晶的介电各向异性随频率的升高而减小,然后逐渐趋于平缓,负性液晶的介电各向异性随频率变化基本保持不变。此项研究对进一步分析液晶材料的介电特性具有一定的指导意义。

含氟三环NCS液晶材料的介电性能研究

为了探究液晶材料的介电性能,本文研究了4PPTGS和4PUTGS两种含氟三环NCS类液晶材料的介电各向异性和介电损耗。首先用精密LCR表(Agilent E4980A)测量液晶盒的电容并用双盒模型和液晶盒电容模型得到4PPTGS和4PUTGS两种液晶材料的平行和垂直介电常数,再由电压-电容特性曲线得到它们的阈值电压,并进一步探讨了介电各向异性和阈值电压对温度的依耐性;然后,在20 Hz~10kHz范围内研究了外加电压频率对液晶材料介电损耗的影响,两种液晶材料在1kHz左右都存在介电损耗峰值,为了减小器件的功耗和提升器件的质量,液晶材料应选择在介电损耗小的频率下工作;最后,通过对平行和垂直排列向列相盒中液晶材料在不同电压下介电损耗的测试与分析,介电损耗的变化是由于在外加电场下液晶分子固有偶极矩的取向极化引起的,介电损耗值的大小与液晶分子的排列状态密切相关。此项研究对提升液晶材料在应用中的介电性能具有一定的指导意义。

耦合微带线的散射参数特性分析

针对耦合微带线的散射参数在一些频率点处呈现出波峰、波谷现象,该文根据微波网络理论,从两根平行微带线的奇模和偶模的散射参数出发,推导出四端口网络散射参数的波峰、波谷处频率与并行长度和线间距的关系。同时分别在频域和时域研究了两根平行微带结构的插入损耗对信号传输的影响。经分析发现,由于微带线间的耦合,波峰、波谷处的频率随线间距增大而提高,随长度增大而降低;而且在串扰产生的同时,所传输的信号也有一定程度的衰减。

Effect of substrate dielectric anisotropy on the frequency behaviorof microstrip circuits

In this paper, we carry out a full-wave analysis of shielded two-port microstrip circuits, in which the metallizations are embedded in a multilayered substrate that may contain isotropic dielectrics and/or anisotropic dielectrics. The Galerkin's method in the spectral domain is applied for determining the current density on the metallizations of the circuits when their feeding lines are excited by means of delta-gap generators, and the matrix pencil technique is subsequently used for deembedding the scattering parameters from the computed current densities. Results are presented for the scattering parameters of some microstrip discontinuities and filters printed on both isotropic dielectric substrates and anisotropic dielectric substrates. These results show that when substrate dielectric anisotropy is ignored, errors arise when computing the scattering parameters of microstrip discontinuities and when predicting the operating frequency band of microstrip filters     

Broadband cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna excited by modified microstrip line

The impedance bandwidth of a high permittivity cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna excited by a microstrip line was significantly improved by modifying the feed geometry. The 10 dB return loss bandwidth is enhanced from 12 to 26% without much affecting the gain and other radiation properties of the antenna. Good agreement has been observed between the predicted and measured results.     

Pseudo-elliptic microstrip line filters with zero-shifting properties

The paper presents a new design of pseudo-elliptic microstrip line filters. These filters employ a coupling scheme which allows shifting of transmission zeros from one side of the passband to the other by only changing the resonant frequencies of the resonators. To demonstrate the performance of these filters, a fourth-order bandpass filter with one transmission zero in the upper stopband is first designed. A second filter with a transmission zero in the lower stopband is then designed by simply adjusting the lengths of the resonators followed by minor optimization to account for the fact that the resonant frequencies can not be changed without slightly affecting the coupling coefficients in the used layout. Measured and simulated results are presented.

Generalized microstrip on a dielectric sheet

A procedure is described for arriving at a close approximation to the capacitance between symmetrically placed conducting strips, possibly of different widths, on opposite sides of a dielectric sheet. The procedure is based on static methods, following K.G. Black and T.J. Higgins (1955) for total capacitance of the structure with vacuum dielectric everywhere, and using H.A. Wheeler's (1964) method for determining the series component of dielectric capacitance. Dielectric polarization is included while refraction at the vacuum/dielectric boundary is ignored in the method; its effect is subsequently shown to be small. The derived equations are valid for all finite impedance, all values of relative dielectric constant, and all conductor widths. The maximum absolute error is estimated to be O(0.001Z'), where Z' is the impedance of a generalized microstrip on a dielectric sheet     

Transmission line model for field distribution in microstrip linefed H-slots

A method for finding the electric field distribution of microstrip line fed H-slots is described. A transverse resonance technique is first applied to find a second-order approximation of the slot propagation constant, which is then used in the transmission line model for the H-slot. The proposed model for the field distribution can be applied to the transmission line and cavity model analysis of H-slot coupled microstrip antennas     

Analysis and design of aperture-coupled microstrip patch antennasand arrays fed by dielectric image line

This paper presents the analysis and design of aperture-coupled microstrip patch antennas and arrays fed by an dielectric image line. A theory based on the cavity model of the microstrip patch antenna and the change in the modal voltage of the image line at the aperture was developed to analyze the single element aperture-coupled microstrip patch antenna. The theory developed was combined with the array theory to design linear traveling wave arrays at X-band and Ka-band frequencies. The required taper in the excitations of the individual patches of the array was achieved by varying the aperture dimensions. Experiments show very good results for the antennas and the arrays     

Systematic evaluation and analysis for 60-GHz dielectric resonatorscoupled to a microstrip line on a GaAs substrate

This paper presents the first systematic evaluation and analysis of 60-GHz-band TE_01δ-mode cylindrical dielectric resonators coupled to a microstrip line on a GaAs substrate. The loss components of the unloaded Q are analyzed using simple numerical techniques. The distance between the resonator center and the microstrip line which gives the maximum coupling coefficient is found to be approximately 3/5 of the resonator radius, whose ratio is almost constant for all practical cases. The temperature characteristics are also demonstrated and the origins of temperature dependences of the unloaded Q and the coupling coefficient are discussed. An equivalent circuit model for the dielectric resonator coupled to the microstrip line is presented, whose element parameters can express the dependences of the resonant frequency, the unloaded Q, and the coupling coefficient on the structural parameters and the temperature     

Effects of dielectric anisotropy on DSM-type display devices

The transmission of dynamic-scattering-mode (DSM) liquid-crystal cells was studied as a function of dielectric anisotropy and surface alignment. Dielectric anisotropy of about -0.2 was found to be optimum for the devices from the viewpoints of threshold voltage, contrast ratio, and recovery time. Vertical-aligned cells were found to have higher contrast ratios and longer recovery times than parallel-aligned cells.     

Millimeter-wave proximity-coupled microstrip antenna on an extendedhemispherical dielectric lens

A low-cost, high-gain, millimeter-wave antenna is presented. The antenna is composed of a proximity-coupled microstrip patch mounted on the back surface of a substrate lens. The antenna utilizes low dielectric constant, low-cost materials and is therefore suitable to many commercial millimeter-wave systems. A full-wave analysis was developed to analyze the performance of the printed antenna and a prototype was developed for operation at 38 GHz. The impedance bandwidth of the prototype was 8% and the gain was approximately 30 dBi across this frequency span with a front-to-back ratio greater than 60 dB
