OPS （oxidized porous silicon） and HR （high-resistivity） substrates are used as low-loss substrates for on-chip planar LPF （low pass filter） fabrication. For the study of substrate loss, a planar coil inductor is also designed. Simulation results show that Q （the quality factor） of the inductor on both substrates is over 20. Measurements of the LPF on OPS substrate give a - 3dB bandwidth of 2.9GHz and a midband insertion loss of 0.87dB at 500MHz. The LPF on HR substrate gives a - 3dB bandwidth of 2.3GHz and a midband insertion loss of 0.42dB at 500MHz.展开更多

The SJ SiGe diode can achieve low specific on-resistance, high breakdown voltages and fast switching speed. The results indicate that the forward voltage drop of SJ SiGe diode is much lower than that of conventional Si power diode when the operating current densities do not exceed 1000 A/cm^2, which is very good for getting lower operating loss. The forward voltage drop of the Si diode is 0.66V whereas that of the SJ SiGe diode is only 0.52V voltages are 203 V for the former and 235 V for the latter. at operating current density of 10A/cm^2. The breakdown Compared with the conventional Si power diode, the reverse recovery time of SJ SiGe diode with 20 per cent Ge content is shortened by above a half and the peak reverse current is reduced by over 15%. The SJ SiGe diode can remarkably improve the characteristics of power diode by combining the merits of both SJ structure and SiGe material.展开更多

By analyzing the terahertz waveguide proposed in this paper, we can obtain that it is the characteristic of a low transmission loss coefficient （αloss 0.55 dB/m） for fundamental mode （LP01） when the incident frequency is larger than 3.0 THz. The critical radii of the inside and outside cylinders have been found for the high-quality transmission. The large inside radius and the high transmission frequency result in a fiat transmission loss coefficient curve. As a strictly two-dimensional material, the double graphene surface rings perform better to improve the quality of transmission mode. These results provide a new idea for the research of the long-distance THz waveguide.展开更多

Althoughthere are many ways to implement an integrated opticalbuffer, such as the use of ring resonators, photonic crystals,Bragg gratings and spiral waveguides, it is still challenging torealize optical buffers with long storage time and low loss.Photonic integrated circuits with small size are of interest forimplementing optical buffers. In general, three materials systemsare employed to implement integrated optical buffers, silicon,silicon nitride and indium phosphide. However, it is hardto implement optical buffers with a storage time over tens ofnanoseconds due to the intrinsic high loss of these materials.展开更多

The YIG slabs under an applied magnetic field provide a negative permeability and the PCBs provide a negative permittivity. The substrates of the PCBs decuple the interactions between the YIG slabs and wire array deposed on such substrates. The effective electromagnetic parameters of the NRIM and the conditions of exhibiting the negative refractive index character are analyzed theoretically. Then the negative transmission and negative refraction characters are investigated numerically and experimentally. The results indicate that the NRIM exhibits negative pass band within the X-band with a bandwidth of about 1 GHz and a peak transmission power of about - 2.5 dB. While changing the applied magnetic field from 2300 Oe to 2700 Oe, the measured pass band of NRIM shift from 8.42 GHz to 9.50 GHz with a 2.7 MHz/Oe step. The results open a sample way to fabricate the NRIM, further, the metamaterial cloak and absorber.展开更多

The dependence of the resistivity, ρ magnetic loss, tanδ, and the permeability, μ, at 1 GHz on the sintering temperature was investigated. A low tanδ of 0.05 with a m of 2.7 at a frequency of 1 GHz, along with a high ρ (up to 7 × 104 μm), were attained under sintering at 1170°C in air, which were the same features as those of samples sintered at 1200°C in O2. The dependence of tanδ on grain diameter was also examined, and it was determined that a small grain size (less than 2 μm) is preferable for low tanδ.展开更多
