Analysis of unbounded and bounded circuits considering finite substrate extent and inhomogeneous dielectric layer

A generalized method of lines algorithm is presented for characterizing unbounded and bounded circuits. Finite substrate extent and inhomogeneous dielectric layers are rigorously considered in this field‐based model. Radiating properties of unbounded regular and irregular microstrip patch resonators and arrays are studied with emphasis on effects of mutual coupling and finite dielectric extent on complex resonant frequencies. In addition, unbounded loss effects for microstrip open‐end and 90° angular bend deposited on finite substrate as well as chip‐to‐chip discontinuities are also investigated. Our developed algorithm incorporates an absorbing boundary condition using the Padé approximation to simulate any potential radiation and leakage losses for resonator structures while an improved lossy absorbing boundary condition (LABC) that can handle both propagating and evanescent waves is used to determine the unbounded effects for waveguiding structures. Results indicate interesting properties of the finite extent of dielectric substrate on resonance and radiation characteristics, and also on unbounded radiation and leakage losses.

Modeling the superconducting effects on resonance and radiation characteristics of a cylindrical-rectangular microstrip antenna covered with a dielectric layer

In this work, the resonance and radiation characteristics of a superconducting cylindrical-rectangular microstrip antenna covered with a dielectric layer are studied using an electric field integral equation and the spectral-domain Green’s function. The effect of superconductivity of the patch is modeled by including surface complex impedance in the formulation. In order to validate the present method, numerical results for the cylindrical microstrip antenna with a perfectly conducting patch are presented and very good agreement has been demonstrated between our computed data and those found in the literature. Once the validity of the method is checked, the effect of the superconducting patch on resonance frequency, half-power bandwidth and radiation pattern of cylindrical rectangular microstrip patch is studied. It is found that the resonant frequency is affected significantly by the superconductivity property of the patch and the half-power bandwidth is considerably increased, which improves the narrow bandwidth characteristics of the microstrip structure. Further results show that a thin superconductor patch has a significant effect on the E-plane radiation pattern.

A generalized CAD model for the full‐wave modelling of microstrip line and its regular and irregular discontinuities

In this paper we present a new theoretical model for the modelling of the microstrip line as well as two types of discontinuities: regular (open end, step, bend and T‐ and cross‐junctions) and irregular (stub and bent‐stub). The two‐dimensional exact dyadic Green function of a grounded dielectric slab has been used with the Galerkin's technique. The subdivision of the discontinuity in a network of juxtaposed unit cells, characterized by their own longitudinal and transversal current distributions, allowed the treatment of a large class of irregular discontinuities in addition to the regular discontinuities. The obtained results have been commented and compared with those of different approaches and with experimental results where a good concordance has been observed.

Analysis and design of rectangular microstrip antenna on two-layer substrate materials at terahertz frequency

In this paper, an effective permittivity of the two-layer dielectric substrate material has been analyzed to enhance the electrical performance of the rectangular microstrip patch antenna at terahertz frequency. The frequency dependent effective dielectric permittivity of the substrate materials has been evaluated and result has been compared with finite integral technique based CST Microwave Studio a commercially available simulator.

Manipulation in the input impedance characteristic of the antenna has led to a slow wave structure. This slow wave structure has been examined at 542 GHz, and improvement in the performance has been observed without increasing the overall dimension of the proposed antenna.

Performance Enhancement of Tunable Bandpass Filters Using Selective Etched Ferroelectric Thin Films

The inclusion of voltage-tunable barium strontium titanate (BSTO) thin films into planar band pass filters offers tremendous potential to increase their versatility. The ability to tune the passband so as to correct for minor deviations in manufacturing tolerances, or to completely reconfigure the operating frequencies of a microwave communication system, are highly sought-after goals. However, use of ferroelectric films in these devices results in higher dielectric losses, which in turn increase the insertion loss and decrease the quality factors of the filters. This study explores the use of patterned ferroelectric layers to minimize dielectric losses without degrading tunability. Patterning the ferroelectric layers enables us to constrict the width of the ferroelectric layers between the coupled microstrip lines, and minimize losses due to ferroelectric layers. Coupled one-pole microstrip bandpass filters with fundamental resonaces at ～7.2 GHz and well-defined harmonic resonances at ～14.4 and ～21.6 GHz, were designed, simulated and tested. For one of the filters, experimental results verified that its center frequency was tunable by 528 MHz at a center frequency of 21.957 GHz, with insertion losses varying from 4.3 to 2.5 dB, at 0 and 3.5 V/ w m, respectively. These data demonstrate that the tuning-to-loss figure of merit of tunable microstrip filters can be greatly improved using patterned ferroelectric thin films as the tuning element, and tuning can be controlled by engineering the ferroelectric constriction in the coupled sections.
