Tunable Inductor

In this paper, we present a Through-Silicon-Via (TSV)-based 3D tunable inductor implementation for RF applications. The proposed inductor structure uses MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) switches to vary inductance by activating and deactivating the switches. MEMS-based switches are used to offer high isolation in the off state. The tunable inductor is tested within an LNA circuit for variation in off-state leakage resistance. Detailed 3D full wave simulation results are presented for different cellular frequency bands.

In this paper, a new multi-layered triple-passband bandpass filter using embedded and stub-loaded stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) is proposed. The filter is designed to have triple-passband at 1.8, 2.4, and 3.5 GHz. The 1st and 2nd passbands (1.8/2.4 GHz) are simultaneously generated by controlling the impedance and length ratios of the embedded SIRs (on top layer). The 3rd passband (3.5 GHz) is generated by using the stub-loaded SIR (on bottom layer). Using the embedded SIR, the even modes can be tuned within very wide frequency range and without affecting the odd modes. Therefore, the design of multi-band filters with very close passbands can be easily achieved and having a high isolation between the passbands. The filter can provide the multi-path propagation to enhance the frequency response and achieving the compact circuit size. The measured results are in good agreement with the full-wave electromagnetic simulation results.

A miniaturized horizontal polarized high frequency transmitting LPDA is presented. In use of the dipole transformation and antenna coefficient optimization methods, a 65% reduction in the size was achieved with the electrical performance kept in a competitive level. Full-wave simulation results showed a stable directional pattern and lower VSWR over the impedance bandwidth of 2 to 30 MHz. The gain bandwidth can reach the range of 4–30 MHz, meanwhile, there is only minor degradation on gain in frequencies under 4 MHz.

A miniaturized dual-mode bandpass filter (BPF) with elliptic function response using slot spurline is designed in this paper. The slot spurline can not only splits the degenerate modes but also determine the type of filter characteristic (Chebyshev or elliptic). To miniaturize the resonator, four sagittate stubs are proposed. For demonstration purpose, a BPF operating at 5.75 GHz for WLAN application was designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured results are in good agreement with the full-wave simulation results.

Simulation Results

We propose to control the radiation patterns of a two-dimensional (2D) point source by using impedance metasurfaces. We show that the radiation patterns can be manipulated by altering the surface impedance of the metasurface. Full-wave simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical derivations. The proposed design enjoys novel properties of isotropy, homogeneity, low profile, and high selectivity of frequency, making it potentially applicable in many applications. We also point out that this design can be implemented with active metasurfaces and the surface impedance can be tuned by modulating the value of loaded elements, like resistors, inductors, and capacitors.

Simulation Results

An ultra-wideband (UWB) modified 3-way Bagley polygon power divider (BPD) that operates over a frequency range of 2–16 GHz is presented. To achieve the UWB operation, the conventional quarter-wave transformers in the BPD are substituted by two tapered line transformers. For verification purposes, the proposed divider is simulated, fabricated, and measured. The agreement between the full-wave simulation results and the measurement ones validates the design procedure.

A compact dual-band bandpass filter using stub-loaded stepped impedance resonator (SLSIR) with cross-slots is presented. The symmetric SLSIR is analyzed using even- and odd-mode techniques. Design equations are derived and they are used to guide the design of the circuits. Two passbands can be easily tuned by cross-slots and open stubs. Transmission zeros among each passbands are created, resulting in high isolation and frequency selectivity. An experimental circuit is fabricated and evaluated to validate the design concept. The fabricated filter is compact with 19.76 × 12.7 mm2. The measurement results are in good agreement with the full-wave simulation results.

Simulation Results

Diverse electromagnetic (EM) responses of coding metamaterials have been investigated, and the general research method is to use full-wave simulation. But if we only care its scattering properties, it is not necessary to perform full-wave simulation, which is usually time-consuming. Machine learning has significantly impelled the development of automatic design and optimize coding matrix. Based on metamaterial particle that has multiple response and genetic algorithm which is coupled with the scattering pattern analysis, we can optimize the coding matrix quickly to tailor the scattering properties without conducting full-wave simulation a lot of times for optimization. Since the coding matrix control of each particle allow modulation of EM wave, various EM phenomena can be achieved easier. In this paper, we proposed two reflective unitcells with different reflection phase, and then a semi-analytical model is built up for unitcells. To tailor the scattering properties, genetic algorithm normally based on binary coding, is coupled with the scattering pattern analysis in order to optimize the coding matrix. Finally, simulation results are compared with the semi-analytical calculation results and it is found that the simulation results agree very well with the theoretical values.
