Microwave properties of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin film coplanar phase shifters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coplanar waveguide transmission lines have been used to show that the temperature dependent properties of Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 TiO 3 thin films used for microwave phase shifters in the frequency range 45 MHz– 50 GHz are correlated strongly with the microstructure of the films. The highest tunability and figure of merit of the phase shifters were obtained for films with the narrowest ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition range, lowest mosaic spread, and widest columnar microstructure. The study also showed that the operating temperature plays an important role in achieving the optimum phase shift for microwave applications.

Thin-Film Phase Shifters for Low-Cost Phased Arrays
Drastic cost reduction of phased-arrays will require a shift in design strategy. The emphasis must be on removing expensive active components, not developing more highly integrated components or exotic packaging techniques. The phase shifter circuit—an essential active component—is the primary obstacle in decreasing the cost and number of active components in a phased-array. The problem is mult...
متن کاملImprovement of dielectric loss tangent of Al2O3 doped Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films for tunable microwave devices
Al2O3 doped Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 ~BST! thin films, with different Al2O3 contents, were deposited on ~100! LaAlO3 substrates by the pulsed laser deposition technique to develop agile thin films for tunable microwave device applications. The dielectric properties of Al2O3 doped BST films were determined with a nondestructive dual resonator near 7.7 GHz. We demonstrated that the Al2O3 doping plays a sig...

A new type of distributed analog phase shifter is presented that utilizes the coplanar strip transmission line topology. This transmission line has several benefits for phase shifter design, resulting in decreased physical dimensions and potentially lower losses. A prototype was constructed using thin-film barium strontium titante (BST) varactor technology. The design achieved a 49◦/dB figure o...

This article presents the use of a microstrip dual resonator for nondestructive permittivity characterization of a ferroelectric thin film at microwave frequencies. The dual-resonator measurement fixture consists mainly of two capacitively coupled microstrip resonators, with the ferroelectric thin film covering the gap between the two resonators. The dielectric constant and loss tangent of the ...
متن کاملNonlinear Microwave Properties of HTS Thin Film Coplanar Devices
It is demonstrated that the combination of vortex matter and rf measurements yields new insight into the microwave properties of superconducting thin film devices, both in small magnetic fields and zero field. The comparison of field-cooled and different types of field sweep experiments on coplanar highthin film resonators shows that the microwave properties strongly depend on magnetization and...
