Dielectric characterization by microwave cavity perturbation corrected for non-uniform fields

July 23, 2014
Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, Jan Obrzut, Christian J. Long, Thomas F. Lam, James C. Booth, David R. Novotny, James A. Liddle, Pavel Kabos
The non-uniform fields that occur due to the slot in the cavity through which the sample is inserted and those due to the sample geometry itself decrease the accuracy of dielectric characterization by cavity perturbation at microwave frequencies. To

Absorptive Limiter for Frequency Selective Circuits

Juan C. Collado Gomez, Eduard Rocas, James C. Booth, Jordi Mateu, J. M. O'Callaghan, J. Verdu, A. Hueltes
This paper describes a novel absorptive limiter for frequency selective circuits. The proposed circuit allows the design of absorptive limiters based on a bi-state phase shifter, which is appropriate for integration into channelizing devices, such as

Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Model for Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonators

November 30, 2013
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Jordi Mateu, Nathan D. Orloff, James C. Booth, Robert Aigner
We present the electro-thermo-mechanical constitutive relations, expanded up to the third order, for a BAW resonator. The relations obtained are implemented into a circuit model, which is validated with extensive linear and nonlinear measurements. The

Exploiting dimensionality and defect mitigation to create tunable microwave dielectrics

October 23, 2013
Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, C H. Lee, T Birol, J A. Mundy, V. Goian, R. Haislmaier, E. Vlahos, Y. Kim, J. D. Brock, Y Zhu, R. Uecker, V. Gopalan, S. Kamba, X X. Xi, D A. Muller, I. Takeuchi, James C. Booth, C. J. Fennie
The miniaturization and integration of frequency-agile microwave circuits—tunable filters, resonators, phase shifters and more—with microelectronics offers tantalizing device possibilities, yet requires thin films whose dielectric constant at GHz

Performance of BAW Resonators at Cryogenic Temperatures

July 21, 2013
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, C. Collado, Jordi Mateu, A Hueltes, J. Verdu, Robert Aigner, James Booth
In this work we go beyond the usual temperature range for commercial applications and explore the functioning of Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators down to cryogenic temperatures, to get the whole picture at understanding the physical tendency of the main

A consistent methodology to characterize BAW resonators

October 7, 2012
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, Carlos Collado, Robert Aigner, Jordi Mateu, A Hueltes, James Booth
We present a methodology to characterize BAW resonators both linearly and nonlinearly. The procedure uses physical modeling along with measurements that exploit different manifestations of the nonlinear phenomena to identify the dominant linear and

A Large-Signal Model of Ferroelectric Thin-Film Transmission Lines"

December 1, 2011
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Jordi Mateu, Nate Orloff, James Booth, Juan M. O'C allaghan
"This work evaluates the microwave nonlinear properties and tuning at RF frequencies of ferroelectric Ba0.3Sr0.7TiO3 thin-films by on-wafer measurements of the second and third-order harmonics and intermodulation products of several coplanar transmission

Manipulating Particle Trajectories with Phase-control in Surface Acoustic Wave Microfluidics

November 14, 2011
Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, Jaclyn R. Dennis, Marco Cecchini, Ethan Schonbrun, Eduard Rocas, Yu Y. Wang, David R. Novotny, Raymond W. Simmonds, John M. Moreland, Ichiro Takeuchi, James C. Booth
We present a 91 MHz surface acoustic wave resonator with integrated microfluidics that includes a flow focus, an expansion region, and a binning region. We demonstrate the ability to change the position of the acoustic nodes by varying the electronics

Fluid interactions with metafilm/metasurfaces for tuning, sensing, and microwave assisted chemical processes

May 25, 2011
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, James C. Booth, James R. Baker-Jarvis, David R. Novotny, Sung Kim, Yu Y. Wang
In this paper we demonstrate tunability of a metafilm, which is the two-dimensional equivalent of a metamaterial, also referred to as a metasurface, by changing the permittivity in a micro-fluidic channel that interacts with the metafilm. Numerical

Characterization of the First Order Nonlinear Stiffened Elasticity of the Piezoelectric Layer in Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonators

May 1, 2011
Author(s)
Juan C. Collado Gomez, Eduard Rocas, Jordi Mateu, Nathan D. Orloff, James C. Booth, Alberto Padillo, Juan Callaghan
This work proposes a procedure to characterize the intrinsic nonlinearities of bulk acoustic wave resonators by performing one port measurements of the second harmonic and second order intermodulation spurious signals. Closed-form expressions have been

Passive Intermodulation due to Self-Heating in Printed Transmission Lines*

February 2, 2011
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Nathan D. Orloff, Jordi Mateu, James C. Booth, Juan M. O'Callaghan, Alberto Padilla
Abstract—This article proposes a mechanism by which third-order intermodulation distortion due to self-heating is generated in transmission lines. The work shows how transmission lines made of several materials whose properties are independent of the

A Compact Variable-Temperature Broadband Series-Resistor Calibration

Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, Jordi Mateu, Arkadiusz C. Lewandowski, Eduard Rocas, Joshua P. King, Dazhen Gu, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Ichiro Takeuchi, Xiaoli Lu, James C. Booth
We present a method to obtain a broadband on wafer calibration from 45 MHz to 40 GHz for variable temperature, which requires three standards: a thru-reflect, and series-resistor. The maximum error of this technique compared to a benchmark 9 standard
