Their high frequency measurements showed, in particular, the very high tuning factors of these films under quite low electric field. Index Terms Ferroelectrics, Interdigital Capacitors, Phas...
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...
متن کاملOxide Thin Films for Tunable Microwave Devices
Oxide thin ®lms have been studied for frequency and phase agile electronics. The electric-®eld tuning of microwave devices employs ferroelectrics, while the Magnetic-®eld tuning uses ferrites. The critical material parameters for ferroelectric thin ®lms are the tunability of the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss. This paper describes the current understanding of the fundamental mechan...
متن کاملCompositionally graded ferroelectric multilayers for frequency agile tunable devices
Recently, there has been significant interest toward the development of tunable dielectric materials for voltage-controlled, frequency-agile phase shifters and filters operating in the microwave regime. The fundamental challenge in designing materials systems for such tunable devices is the simultaneous requirement of high dielectric tunability ([40%) over a large temperature interval (-10 C to...
