Thin films of plasma polymerised linalyl acetate (PLA) were fabricated and their electrical properties investigated. The high frequency dielectric constant was determined using the split post dielectric resonator (SPDR) technique at frequencies of 10 GHz and 20 GHz and compared with the low frequency dielectric constant found from capacitive measurements of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure...

We characterize experimentally a compact dielectric particle that can be used to design very low-loss artificial electromagnetic materials (metamaterials). Focusing on magnetic media, we show that the particle can behave almost identically to the well-known split-ring resonators (SRRs) widely used in present designs, without suffering from the Ohmic losses that can limit the applicability of SR...

Sensor performance of a dielectric filled silicon bulk acoustic resonator type label-free biosensor is verified with biotin-streptavidin binding interactions as a model system. The mass sensor is a micromachined silicon square plate with a dielectric filled capacitive excitation mechanism. The resonance frequency of the biotin modified resonator decreased 315 ppm when exposed to streptavidin so...

The goal of this paper is to use polymer-based materials (instead of hard ceramics) in fabrication of dielectric resonator antennas at millimeter-wave frequencies. The soft nature of polymers facilitates machining of antennas, while the low permittivity of polymers naturally enhances the bandwidth. More importantly, advantageous properties (e.g., flexibility and photosensitivity) of some polyme...

In this paper, a wideband Sierpinski carpet patterned cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) operating in the X-Band is proposed. This DRA is realized from low cost Teflon. An impedance bandwidth of 50% is obtained covering the entire X-band with similar radiation pattern throughout the band. The average peak gain within the band is about 5.5 dBi.

A miniature non-uniform copper-air rectangular coaxial line with the inner conductor supported by periodic dielectric straps is demonstrated. The overall height of the line is 310gm with the outer conductor cross-section being 250gmx250gm. The measured loss is 0.22dB/cm at 26GHz, while the isolation between two parallel lines with a center-to-center separation of 700gm is better than 60dB. Seve...

In this paper we have proposed a tunable two dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhC) ring resonator configuration for application in optical analog to digital converter (ADC) systems. Quality factor and dropping efficiency at the resonance of our designed ring resonator are 202 and 100%, respectively. The quantity of transmission efficiency and quality factor (Q) are suitable for ADC applicatio...

A new reflect-array antenna structure is proposed. This structure utilizes a perforated substrate as a reflecting surface with the lattice of different holes. The effective electric permittivity of the dielectric substrate is altered by drilling holes with different diameter and spacing, which provide an in-homogeneous dielectric layer. This in-homogeneous dielectric layer can be controlled by ...

A novel complex structure of Printed Dielectric Resonator Monopole Antenna (PDRMA) with multi-bands operation is presented and investigated. In the proposed structure, a printed fork-like stepped monopole antenna is used for exciting two new modified hemicylindrical dielectric resonators with a great relative permittivity of 80. A narrow medium substrate with a low permittivity is also applied ...

This paper provides a modified formula for calculating dielectric loss of dielectric resonator of working in TE01δ mode in closed cavity. The measurement system is divided into six regions. Based on analyzing the formula of loss tangent published in literatures, a quality factor of a substrate is created, and a modified formula is proposed. Validating the modified formula, with three substrates...
