A novel triple notch‐bands ultra wide‐band band‐pass filters using parallel multi‐mode resonators and CSRRs

This article discusses a technique based on combination of multimode resonators (MMR) and complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) to design multi notch‐bands ultra wide‐band (UWB) band‐pass filters (BPF). The proposed structure consists of two parallel multimode resonators, resulting in a dual notch‐band UWB BPF, integrated with a single cell of CSRR to realize the third notch‐band. The mechanism of realizing the notch‐bands is mathematically presented and a triple notch‐bands UWB BPF is designed, simulated and fabricated. The overall size of the proposed filter is reported to be around 36 × 7.7 mm² where a size reduction of around 35% is demonstrated in comparison to the conventional filter. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystal Structure and Microwave dielectric Properties of Ba(Zn1/3Ta2/3)O3–(Sr,Ba)(Ga1/2Ta1/2)O3 Ceramics

The microwave dielectric properties and crystal structure of Ba(Zn_1/3Ta_2/3)O₃– (Sr,Ba)(Ga_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃ ceramics were investigated in the present study. The Q value of Ba(Zn_1/3Ta_2/3)O₃ was improved by adding 5 mol% Sr(Ga_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃. The maximum Q value of Q × f = 162000 GHz was obtained at 0.95Ba(Zn_1/3Ta_2/3)O₃. 0.05Sr(Ga_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃. For this composition, a lattice super structure caused by hexagonal ordering was observed. A further improvement in the Q value was attained when some Sr was replaced with Ba, and 0.95Ba(Zn_1/3Ta_2/3)O₃· 0.05(Sr_0.25Ba_0.75)(Ga_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃ exhibited a maximum Q value such that Q × f = 210000 GHz. Despite the increased Q value with the replacement of Sr by Ba, the c/a value, which indicates the degree of lattice distortion, remained constant near 3/2. The Q value thus improved without lattice distortion in the system Ba(Zn_1/3Ta_2/3)O₃-(Sr,Ba)(Ga_1/2Ta_1/2)O₃, whereas the improvement of Q value increased with lattice distortion in the solid solution system with Ba(Zn_1/3Ta_2/3)O₃ as an end member.     

Design of a compact dual‐band folded‐waveguide bandpass filter using multilayer waveguide resonators

A novel compact dual‐band bandpass filter based on multilayer folded‐waveguide (FWG) structure is presented in this article.In this design, slots are used to realize direct coupling between adjacent resonators and apertures are adopted to implement cross coupling between non‐adjacent resonators.A new technique of external quality factor of FWG resonator and coupling coefficients between different resonators are studied using full‐wave simulator. In order to demonstrate the proposed technique, a four‐pole dual‐band bandpass filter is designed, fabricated and measured using vector network analyzer. Measurement results which are well agreed with simulation results are presented. Moreover, four‐pole substrate integrated folded waveguide SIFW dual‐band bandpass filter, using two layers of slotted folded waveguide resonators, is demonstrated. The proposed filter has a compact size and it is excellent candidate for the application of wireless communication systems. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of stepped‐impedance resonators on rectangular metamaterial unit cells

In this article, effect of the stepped‐impedance resonator (SIR) miniaturization technique on rectangular metamaterial unit cells is investigated and the influence of the method's structural parameters on the characteristic impedance and the distance between higher resonance modes is discussed. According to the results, the ideal unit cell for this method should be thick enough and have an impedance ratio greater than one. Furthermore, the SIR technique is applied on a conventional two‐turn spiral metamaterial unit cell and a new compact spiral unit cell is introduced. The effect of this method on the unit cell parameters is investigated and the new unit cell is compared to the conventional spiral. According to the results, a miniaturization factor of 0.75 can be achieved with the new unit cell. To validate the results, a two dimensional array of the unit cell is fabricated and its S‐parameters are measured using the free space method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

NEMS diaphragm sensors integrated with triple-nano-ring resonator

Two types of circular diaphragm, made by Si and Si/SiO₂, integrated with hexagonal photonic crystal (PhC) lattice with triple-nano-ring (TNR) resonator created at the centre are proposed as nano-scale force and pressure sensor. The optimized channel drop effect of the TNR resonator brings a strong forward drop resonant peak in both the cases and with Q-factor of 1602 and 1737, respectively. The resonant wavelength peak experience red shifts upon the applied load on the circular diaphragm along the normal direction, in terms of a 2nd-order polynomial relationship. The devices can detect a wide range of applied load. Si diaphragm based micro force sensor gives minimum detectable force of 0.847 μN in the region of applied force from 10 to 20 μN. Si/SiO₂ diaphragm based pressure sensor gives minimum detectable pressure of 4.17 MPa in the region of applied pressure from 20 to 40 MPa. From the derived wavelength shift versus a given centre displacement of the diaphragm, Si diaphragm based sensor shows higher sensitivity than Si/SiO₂ diaphragm sensor.     

Hydrogen sensor based on Pd-functionalized film bulk acoustic resonator

We present an application of the Pd-functionalized film bulk acoustic resonator for hydrogen detection. The resonator consisted of an AlN piezoelectric stack and a Bragg reflector has a working resonance near 2.23 GHz and a high performance. A 50 nm thick Pd film was coated on the top electrode as a specific layer to capture hydrogen. The absorption of hydrogen can trigger changes of elastic properties of the Pd layer, which affects the resonance frequency of the resonator. The experimental results show that the Pd-functionalized film bulk acoustic resonator can yield a rapid, sensitive, reversible and reproducible response to hydrogen in the concentrations from 0.3% to 2%. The advantages of this sensor, including the simple fabrication process, ease of detection method, rapid response and high sensitivity and working at room temperature, make this promising in the early alarm of hydrogen leaking.
