A novel combline filter is proposed for cellular‐radio base stations. The Q‐factor is significantly improved. The eigenvalue equation is expressed with the single‐team approximation in the gap region of the combline resonator. A two‐pole combline filter is designed. The calculation, simulation, and experiment results are presented and are in good agreement. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2006.

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.

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.     

三角晶格金属柱PBG谐振腔的设计

随着回旋管向高频发展,高次谐波互作用研究成为重要方向。当普通回旋管工作在高次谐波时,效率很低,尤其是模式竞争问题很难解决。因此,必须改进结构,才能有效地实现高次谐波互作用。而光子晶体结构恰恰能对非工作模式实现有效的抑制。介绍了一种新的光子晶体谐振腔设计方法并成功设计出一个工作于高次模式下单模传输（TM01）的三角晶格金属柱PBG谐振腔。进一步改进后得到了一个工作在Ka波段的光子晶体谐振腔。该结构能应用于目前项目研究,具有工程价值。     

基于超材料的太赫兹波辐射特性与增强研究

太赫兹波的产生与调控对太赫兹技术发展至关重要。超材料的可设计几何结构与特异共振响应为产生与调控太赫兹波提供了新的途径。但超材料产生太赫兹波辐射的转换效率较低仍然是一个亟待解决的问题。设计了一种由金属谐振环阵列和全介质硅开口谐振器组成的超材料。利用麦克斯韦方程联合表述电子运动的流体动力模型的自洽方程组,研究了该超材料的太赫兹波辐射与调控过程。研究发现,通过优化分裂谐振环的开口方向,超材料产生的太赫兹波振幅提高了1倍。此外,通过改变入射光偏振角及超材料的几何尺寸实现了太赫兹波振幅调控。这为基于超材料的,紧凑型和可调谐的太赫兹源提供了新途径。     

TLM modeling of a probe‐coupled cylindrical cavity based on compact wire model in the cylindrical mesh

This article describes an implementation of a compact wire model into the three‐dimensional transmission‐line matrix (TLM) cylindrical mesh for the purpose of an efficient analysis of probe‐coupled cylindrical microwave cavity devices. Because of a cylindrical grid structure and empirical nature of the compact model, this implementation has to take into account a change of wire model parameters with a variable cross section of the TLM nodes through which a wire conductor passes. The model accuracy has been experimentally verified and compared with the corresponding results reached by the TLM method based on a rectangular grid in order to consider its advantages. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
