A nonlinear microwave phase shifter based on ferrite-ferroelectric composite material has been studied for the first time. The ferrite-ferroelectric composite is fabricated in the form of bilayer consisted of yttrium iron garnet and barium strontium titanate. A principle of operation of the device is based on the linear and nonlinear control of the phase shift of the hybrid spinelectromagnetic ...

Compositionally graded barium strontium titanate @(BaxSr12x)TiO3—BST, x50.75, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0# thin films are fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition on a LaAlO3 substrate with (La0.7Sr0.3)MnO3 as the bottom electrode. A high dielectric permittivity and temperature characteristic without Curie–Weiss law are obtained. A tunability of over 70% is obtained at frequency of 1 MHz, which is higher th...

Introduction: At high magnetic fields radiation losses, wavelength effects, self-resonance and decreased Q of typical components all contribute to increased losses in conventional RF coil designs. High permittivity ceramic dielectric resonators create strong uniform magnetic fields in a compact structure at high frequencies, are extensively used in radiocommunications applications, and can pote...

Barium-strontium titanate (BST) Ba0.6Sr 0.4 TiO3 and lanthanum-lithium titanate (LLT) La0.5Li0.5TiO3 nanopowders and thin films have been obtained via the modified Pechini route. Polyesterification and complexation processes of gel formation have been examined. Hypothetical models of coordinative polymers formed in sol-gel system have been suggested. It has been shown that BST and LLT solid sol...

We demonstrate control of the surface plasmon polariton wavevector in an active metal-dielectric plasmonic interferometer by utilizing electrooptic barium titanate as the dielectric layer. Arrays of subwavelength interferometers were fabricated from pairs of parallel slits milled in silver on barium titanate thin films. Plasmon-mediated transmission of incident light through the subwavelength s...

Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) varactors utilized in a VCO demonstrate unique tuning characteristics compared to junction varactors. A 2.7 GHz microstrip line VCO operates in a tracking phaselock loop configured as an X4 frequency multiplier. BST oscillator tuning and the effect on loop dynamics is observed by the intentional design of an under damped system. Oscillator noise correction and pe...

There are two different ferroelectric had been used on the proposed antennas which include of Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) and Bismuth Titanate (BiT), suitable for Access Points operating in the WLAN IEEE 802.11 b/g and WiMAX IEEE 802.16 within the range of 2.3 GHz to 2.5 GHz application. BST, which had been ...

Barium strontium titante (BST) is an important dielectric material because of its high tunability (dielectric constant as a function of applied voltage) and low loss, with specific applications in tunable microwave circuits. However, regardless of processing technique, additives, or synthesis temperatures some remnant ferroelectricity is always observed beyond the paraelectric phase transition ...

This paper demonstrates an electric-field tuning of the ferromagnetic resonance FMR responses at millimeter wave frequencies for a monolithic magneto-electric heterostructure. The layered stack is comprised of c-axis oriented and low loss barium hexaferrite BaM and 111 oriented ferroelectric barium strontium titanate BSTO layers along with embedded platinum electrode layers, all fabricated by p...

Hydrothermal and commercial barium titanate powders were examined for undesirable impurity phases. Compositional differences in the powder were evaluated using x-ray diffraction ( XRD ), x-ray fluorescence ( XRF ), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A brium-rich impurity phase, virtually undetectable by XRD, was detected via XPS. Barium impurity phase peaks were detected at binding ene...
