THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF LICENTIATE OF ENGINEERING Characterisation of terahertz integrated membrane circuits
نویسنده
چکیده
In this thesis a novel measurement setup and thru-reflect-line (TRL) calibration kit for vector network analyser (VNA) measurements at 220GHz to 325GHz (WR-03) is presented. Measurements on passive membrane circuit devices under test (DUTs) show improvement in the S-parameters compared to a waveguide integrated membrane circuit setup in previous work, especially in reducing the ripples and increasing repeatability of the measurements. VNA measurements provide a challenge when measuring on waveguide integrated membrane circuit devices at terahertz frequencies. In this setup, phase uncertainty in the measurements, due to waveguide width tolerance, is reduced by shortening the access waveguides. Because both waveguide inputs are placed in the same flange, the access waveguides can be made much shorter. However, in order to accommodate different DUT and TRL line lengths, two bends were introduced in each waveguide, and the trade-off between sharper bends or longer access waveguides effect on uncertainty, investigated.

In this paper, a procedure for analyzing and designing of tunable wideband band-pass and band-stop graphene based filters in the terahertz band is proposed. These planar wideband plasmonic filters are unique in their kind. With this procedure, it is possible to design filters with the desired functional characteristics in the form of the similar quarter-wavelength resonance stubs. The discontin...
