1+N Network Protection For Mesh Networks: Network Coding-Based Protection Using P-Cycles And Protection Paths, Ahmed Kamal, Aditya Ramamoorthy
Ahmed Kamal
A method and system for providing protection of multiple communication sessions using the bandwidth resources on the order of those required to protect a single communication session. This is facilitated through the use of network coding on a protection cycle. Transmissions from all connections are coded together using network coding and transmitted in two different directions on a cycle, so that the signal can be recovered by the receiver in two ways: on the working path, and on the protection (cycle) path.

Tunable Electromagnetic Bandgap Performance Of Coplanar Waveguides Periodically Loaded By Ferroelectric Varactors, D. Kuylenstierna, Guru Subramanyam, A. Vorobiev, S. Gevorgian
Tunable Electromagnetic Bandgap Performance Of Coplanar Waveguides Periodically Loaded By Ferroelectric Varactors, D. Kuylenstierna, Guru Subramanyam, A. Vorobiev, S. Gevorgian
Guru Subramanyam
To achieve tunable electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) performance, ferroelectric varactors are considered, in LC circuits, for periodically loading coplanar waveguides (CPWs). Asymmetric or symmetric tuning of the bandgap width may be achieved by changing the capacitance of the varactors in the LC circuits. To validate this concept, tunable EBG arrays based on silicon substrate CPWs, including thin film SrTiO3 (STO) varactors, are fabricated and tested experimentally. The EBGs are designed so that the first band gap starts between 20 and 30 GHz. Up to 10% tuning is achieved, under 20-V DC applied bias, in the EBG structures.

Capacitance Of Thin-Film Ferroelectrics Under Different Drive Signals, Huadong Li, Guru Subramanyam
Capacitance Of Thin-Film Ferroelectrics Under Different Drive Signals, Huadong Li, Guru Subramanyam
Guru Subramanyam
Thin-film ferroelectric capacitance can be obtained by 2 different methods. Capacitance obtained using the derivative of its hysteresis loop is related to large applied signals and can be called the large-signal capacitance. Capacitance measured directly with a small, applied ac signal together with a slow changing dc bias is called the small-signal capacitance. This paper investigated the voltage dependence of the large- and small-signal capacitances. Measurements show that the large-signal C-V curve of thin-film ferroelectrics has much sharper peaks and higher peak values than the small-signal C-V curve. Analyses based on the Landau-Khalatnikov model shows that practical small-signal capacitance is …

Guru Subramanyam
Biopolymers, such as deoxyribonucleic acid-hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (DNA-CTMA) and bovine serum albumin-polyvinyl alcohol (BSA-PVA), were studied using a novel capacitive test structure. A variety of external electrical stimuli were applied, including a low frequency alternating current signal and a rf/microwave frequency signal combined with a DC bias. The dynamic responses of the DNA-based biopolymer to the external stimuli are presented in this paper. The electrical transport measurements support the space-charge-limited conduction and the low frequency capacitance–voltage (CV) measurements showed large depletion layer capacitance at the Au–biopolymer interface, at 20 Hz, and the capacitance approaching bulk values at 1 MHz.

Design Of A Si Mmic Compatible Ferroelectric Varactor Shunt Switch For Microwave Applications, Faruque Ahamed, Guru Subramanyam
Design Of A Si Mmic Compatible Ferroelectric Varactor Shunt Switch For Microwave Applications, Faruque Ahamed, Guru Subramanyam
Guru Subramanyam
This paper describes a capacitive shunt switch, based on ferroelectric varactors as a potential replacement for RF MEMS switches for microwave applications. Our implementation is based on a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line shunted by a ferroelectric varactor. The novelty in the implementation comes from the elimination of any moving parts (as in MEMS switches) for switching. The concept of switching ON and OFF is based on the dielectric tunability of the ferroelectric material of barium strontium titanium oxide (BST) thin-films. From electromagnetic simulations performed, the isolation of the switch between 20 and 40 GHz (OFF state S21) is better …

Ferroelectric BaTiO3/SrTiO3 with optimized c-axis-oriented multilayered thin films were epitaxially fabricated on (001) MgO substrates. The microstructural studies indicate that the in-plane interface relationships between the films as well as the substrate are determined to be (001)SrTiO3//(001)BaTiO3//(001)MgO and [100]SrTiO3//[100]BaTiO3//[100]MgO. The microwave (5 to 18 GHz) dielectric measurements reveal that the multilayered thin films have excellent dielectric properties with large dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and high dielectric tunability, which suggests that the as-grown ferroelectric multilayered thin films can be developed for room-temperature tunable microwave elements and related device applications.

Guru Subramanyam
A novel printed antenna with a frequency reconfigurable feed network is presented. The antenna consists of a bowtie structure patch radiating element in the inner space of an annulus that is on a nongrounded substrate with a ferroelectric (FE) Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) thin film. The bowtie patch is fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line that also includes a CPW-based BST shunt varactor. Reconfiguration of the compact 8 mm × 8 mm system has been demonstrated by shifting the antenna system’s operating frequency 500 MHz in the 7–9 GHz band by applying a DC voltage bias.

Large area Ba1 − xSrxTiO3 (BST) thin films with x = 0.4 or x = 0.5 were deposited on 75 mm diameter Si wafers in a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) chamber enabling full-wafer device fabrication using standard lithography. The deposition conditions were re-optimized for large PLD chambers to obtain uniform film thickness, grain size, crystal structure, orientation, and dielectric properties of BST films. X-ray diffraction and microstructural analyses on the BST films grown on Pt/Au/Ti electrodes deposited on SiO2/Si wafers revealed films with (110) preferred orientation with a grain size < 100 nm. An area map of the thickness and crystal …

Owing to their narrow bright emission band, broad size-tunable emission wavelength, superior photostability, and excellent flexible-substrate compatibility, light-emitting diodes based on quantum dots (QD-LEDs) are currently under intensive research and development for multiple consumer applications including flat-panel displays and flat lighting. However, their commercialization is still precluded by the slow development to date of efficient QD-LEDs as even the highest reported efficiency of 2.0% cannot favorably compete with their organic counterparts. Here, we report QD-LEDs with a record high efficiency (∼4%), high brightness (∼6580 cd/m2), low turn-on voltage (∼2.6 V), and significantly improved color purity by simply using deoxyribonucleic acid …

Environment-friendly ferroelectric Mn:BST//Mn:BZT heterostructures were epitaxially deposited on (001) MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition with different combination ratios of Mn:BST over Mn:BZT, 2.5:7.5; 1:1; and 7.5:2.5. The microstructural studies indicate that the in-plane interface relationships between the heterostructures and the substrate are determined to be (001)Mn:BST//(001)Mn:BZT//(001)MgO and [100]Mn:BST//[100]Mn:BZT//[100]MgO. The Ku band microwave (15.5–18 GHz) dielectric property characterizations show that the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and tunabilities of the heterostructures are highly dependent upon the sequences of Mn:BST to Mn:BZT. The optimized dielectric tunability with a low loss tangent was found to be 58.1%–74.4% under the combination ratio of 1:1 …

This paper presents a ferroelectric varactor shunt switch which can be useful for microwave/millimeterwave switching as well as for the design of reconfigurable circuits. The device operation is based on nonlinear dielectric tunability of a ferroelectric thin-film sandwiched between two metal layers in the parallel plate configuration. A CPW based design allows for MMIC compatible shunt switches with low insertion loss and high isolation. Experimental performance of the varactor shunt switch indicates good switching performance with ~24 dB isolation @41 GHz, and insertion loss below 7 dB up to 45 GHz.

Ferroelectric Thin-Film Based Two-Dimensional Electromagnetic Structures, U. Khan, Guru Subramanyam, S. Gevorgian, A. Vorobiev
Guru Subramanyam
A two-dimensional electromagnetic bandgap structure has been developed using ferroelectric thin-films. Using lumped inductors and parallel plate capacitors a planar structure is developed which creates a bandgap in the 20–40 GHz range, as demonstrated by experimental results. The ferroelectric material Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) is used in the form of a thin-film between patterned layers of gold to form capacitors on a 500 μm thick high-resistivity Si substrate. A meander line based design is used to form the two-dimensional surface which provides biasing pathways to the varactors. The concept is simulated and experimentally verified using a coplanar waveguide based device in which …
Performance Of Thin-Film Ferroelectric Capacitors For Emc Decoupling, Huadong Li, Guru Subramanyam
Performance Of Thin-Film Ferroelectric Capacitors For Emc Decoupling, Huadong Li, Guru Subramanyam
Guru Subramanyam
This paper studied the effects of thin-film ferroelectrics as decoupling capacitors for electromagnetic compatibility applications. The impedance and insertion loss of PZT capacitors were measured and compared with the results from commercial off-the-shelf capacitors. An equivalent circuit model was extracted from the experimental results, and a considerable series resistance was found to exist in ferroelectric capacitors. This resistance gives rise to the observed performance difference around series resonance between ferroelectric PZT capacitors and normal capacitors. Measurements on paraelectric (Ba,Sr)TiO3-based integrated varactors do not show this significant resistance. Some analyses were made to investigate the mechanisms, and it was …

A new capacitive test structure, containing a parallel plate capacitor with coplanar waveguide feed lines, was used for microwave characterization of biopolymers for the first time. Microwave dielectric properties were obtained for the biopolymers as a function of dc bias and temperature by performing on-wafer microwave measurements. Dielectric tunability was observed with applied dc bias in the biopolymers tested.

A series of nanostructured ferroelectric thin films of barium strontium titanate were fabricated using a pulsed laser deposition system with real-time in situ process control. Pulsed laser deposition parameters were controlled during the growth of nanostructured thin films for use in the development of high frequency tunable microwave devices. The thin films were all grown at the same substrate temperature and laser beam energy density, but the chamber oxygen partial pressure (COPP) was varied systematically from 19 mTorr through 1000 Torr. Structural and electromagnetic characterization was performed using atomic force microscopy and evanescent microwave microscopy, respectively. Atomic force microscopy showed …
