본 연구에서는 유체를 유전체 재료로 사용하는 가변 커패시터를 시연하고, 자기 공명 현미경(MRM)의 코일에 적용 가능성을 알아보려고 하였다. 전극으로 이루어진 커패시터 구조는 마이크로 유체 채널과 통합하여 제작되었고, 커패시턴스는 채널 내의 유체 충전율을 변화시키면서 측정되었다. DI water와 미네랄 오일을 사용하여 측정된 커패시턴스는 1.7 pF에서 12 pF, 그리고 1.7 pF에서 2 pF으로 변하였고, 유체의 유전율에 따라 커패시턴스의 변화를 확인하였다.

A dual-band tunable-slot-type ground radiation antenna is proposed. The feeding structure consists of a coplanar waveguide and a lumped capacitor to excite currents for first- and second-order resonant modes of the ground. The resonant frequencies of both bands are controlled using a series combination of a capacitor and an inductor. The proposed design may be an attractive choice for mobile devices owing to its compact geometry and tunable operating frequencies. The measurement and simulation results of the proposed antenna show good agreement, indicating good impedance matching and radiation performance.

본 논문은 핑거 (finger) 형 전극에 의해 증강된 가장자리 전계가 가변 캐패시터의 가변성을 개선시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 가장자리가 긴 전극을 설계하기 위해 면적과 선폭이 다른 finger 형태의 전극들이 설계되었다. 가변 바렉터들은 quartz 기판위에 para/ferro/para의 가변 다층 유전체 박막을 이용하여 제작되었다. 기존의 일반적인 가변 캐패시터와 비교해서, 핑거형 캐패시터들의 유효 용량와 가변성 특성을 분석하였다. 1~2.5 GHz에서 증강된 가장자리 전계로 인해 긴 가장자리 전극으로 설계된 가변 캐패시터의 유효 용량과 가변성이 각각 24~40 % 그리고 7~12 % 증가하였다.

본 논문에서는 고가의 단결정 기판 대신에 저가의 실리콘 기판을 이용한 인터디지탈 구조의BaSrTiO$_{3}$(BST) 박막 가변 커패시터를 제안하였다. 저가의 실리콘 기판 위의 BST 박막은 PLD 장비를 이용하여 증착하였으며, 제작된 가변 커패시터는 4 GHz까지 측정되었다. 또한 최대 인가 전압은 50 V이며, 5 kV/cm 조건에서 약 30$\%$ 정도의 가변율을 얻는다. 저가의 실리콘 기판 위에 BST 박막을 증착, 커패시터를 구현함으로써 BST 박막을 이용한 가변 소자들을 집적화할 수 있는 가능성을 보였다.

This letter presents a compact metamaterial-based tunable zeroth-order resonant antenna. It is based on the double-negative unit cell with a function of tunable inductance realized by a varactor and impedance convertor in the shunt branch. The resonant frequency of the designed antenna ranges from 2.31 to 3.08 GHz, depending on the capacitance of the used varactor. Its size is very compact ($0.05{\lambda}_0{\times}0.2{\lambda}_0$) with a relatively wide tunable range of 29.1%. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna is from 20 to 50 MHz for the resonant center frequency. The measured maximum total realized gain is from -0.68 dBi (2.43 GHz) to 1.69 dBi (2.97 GHz). The EM-simulated and measured results are in good agreement.

In this work, a phase shifter radio-frequency integrated chip (RFIC) using a simple all-pass network is presented. As a tuning element of the phase shifter RFIC, tunable capacitors with a multi-layer dielectric of a para-/ferro-/para-electrics using a high tunable BST ferroelectric and a low-loss BZN paraelectric thin film were utilized. In order to evaluate and analyze the fabricated phase shifter RFIC, the same elements such as an inductor and capacitor integrated into it are also fabricated and tested. The designed phase shifter RFIC was fabricated on a quartz substrate in the size of $1.16{\times}1.21mm^2$. As the test results, the maximum phase difference of $350^{\circ}$ is obtained at 15 V and its tuning frequency bandwidth is 90 MHz from 2.72 to 2.81GHz.

In this paper, we propose an active tunable bandpass filter (BPF) for efficient spectrum sensing in the TV White Space (TVWS) band. By designing a narrow bandwidth, it is possible to improve the sensing probability. The basic circuit configuration involves switching the PIN diode compromising capacitor bank to change the capacitance of the LC resonant circuit. To cover the whole TVWS band effectively, we add a varactor diode, and the bandwidth is set to 25-MHz. We improve the insertion loss by using the active capacitance circuit. The tunable BPF in the TVWS band with a 20-MHz interval is designed to have 11 channels with a bandwidth of 25 MHz and a low insertion loss of 1.7-2.0 dB.

This study realized low-temperature crystallization process of the $Ba_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}TiO_3$ (BST) thin films without thermal damage of substrate using excimer laser annealing (ELA) and structural and electrical characteristics were investigated. The amorphous BST thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by sol-gel method at $250^{\circ}C$. The ELA was carried out using KrF excimer laser which provided excitation wavelength of 248 nm. The beam homogenizing system was used in order to homogenize beam shape of Gaussian fit. The XRD and SEM were used to analyze structural characteristics and the microwave capacitance, dielectric loss and tunability of the BST films were measured by a symmetrical stripline resonator method with shorted end. Consequently, the crystallinity of BST thin films were improved after ELA process and RF tunable capacitor was demonstrated at low temperature below $300^{\circ}C$.
