The effects of microwave interference on the operational parameters of individual MOSFET devices on CMOS wafers were studied as microwave power and frequency were varied. The study used direct injection of microwave power into the device terminals, and the output characteristics were measured with and without the microwave interference. The study showed that injected microwave power significant...

A selection of microwave photonic systems using lithium niobate devices are presented. Systems include diplexers, variable phase shifters, filters and quadrature hybrids. Opportunities for monolithic integration are discussed.

In this paper, we report on the engineering and the realization of optically transparent graphene-based microwave devices using Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) graphene whose sheet resistance may be tailored down to values below 30 Ω/sq. In particular, we show that the process was successfully used to realize and characterize a simple, optically transparent graphene-based wire-grid polarizer a...

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices have been increasing in popularity for radio frequency (RF) and microwave communication systems due to the ability of MEMS devices to improve the performance of these circuits and systems. This interdisciplinary field combines the aspects of lithographic fabrication, mechanics, materials science, and RF/microwave circuit technology to produce moving...

Gallium and aluminum co-doped zinc oxide (GAZO) films were produced by magnetron sputtering. The GAZO films were post-annealed in either vacuum or hydrogen microwave plasma. Vacuum- and hydrogen microwave plasma-annealed GAZO films show different surface morphologies and lattice structures. The surface roughness and the spacing between adjacent (002) planes decrease; grain growth occurs for the...
