This article marks the first demonstration of an integrated single-pole single-throw (SPST) radio frequency (RF) switch using ferroelectric thin films in acoustic wave devices. Polarization control via electric field application allows for selective acoustic phase inversion (API) to cause signal reflection via destructive interference. A specialized implementation of the modified Butterworth-Van Dyke (mBVD) model is presented to describe the on and off states of the switch. The equivalent circuit can accurately predict ferroelectric stacked crystal filter (SCF) S-parameters under various poling configurations and is also valid for the design of API RF switches. An integrated proof-of-principle device is presented using paraelectric barium strontium titanate, Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST), SCFs. The switch has SCF-type response in the on state with insertion loss (IL) of under 1.8 dB and a notched off state response with an isolation of over 37 dB. The first thickness extensional mode occurs at 1.6 GHz, and the total area is $100times 200~mu $ m, including decoupling capacitor ( $100times 100~mu $ m) and electrical connections. Moreover, total active area consumes less than $26times 52~mu $ m, suggesting future miniaturization. With the increasing inclusion of ferroelectric materials, such as BST and scandium-doped aluminum nitride (ScAlN) in the next-generation acoustic wave devices, this novel switch provides an avenue to eliminate interconnects between RF switches and microwave acoustic filters in RF front ends.

This article presents two 3-D bandpass frequency-selective surfaces (FSSs) featuring ultrawide and dual operating frequency spectra, respectively. Leveraging advanced multimaterial additive manufacturing, the design potential of 3-D meta-atoms can be unlocked. Compared to conventional 2.5-D or quasi-3-D FSSs that incorporate vias or microstrip lines, the proposed centrally loaded geometries facilitate in-depth topological optimization. The assembly of diverse fundamental FSS shapes introduces multiple poles and zeros, contributing to broad in-band transmission, extensive out-of-band rejections, and sharp transitions while still attaining simplicity when using equivalent circuit-transmission line modeling and associated qualitative design aids. The application-oriented FSSs are properly configured to fit the K-Ka spectra, where the ultrawideband FSS covers a fractional bandwidth of approximately 2:1, and the dual-band FSS offers two near-equal absolute bandwidths of 8 GHz. Both designs are inherently polarization insensitive due to unit-cell symmetry, and their robustness against oblique incidences has also been experimentally verified for both TE and TM modes.
本文介绍了两种具有超宽和双工作频谱的三维带通选频表面（fss）。利用先进的多材料增材制造技术，可以释放三维元原子的设计潜力。与传统的包含过孔或微带线的2.5 d或准3- d fss相比，提出的集中加载几何结构有助于深入的拓扑优化。各种基本FSS形状的组装引入了多个极点和零点，有助于宽带内传输，广泛的带外抑制和急剧过渡，同时在使用等效电路传输线建模和相关定性设计辅助工具时仍然获得简单性。面向应用的FSS经过适当配置以适应K-Ka频谱，其中超宽带FSS覆盖的分数带宽约为2:1，双频FSS提供两个近乎相等的8ghz绝对带宽。由于单位胞对称，这两种设计都具有固有的极化不敏感性，并且它们对斜入射的鲁棒性也在TE和TM模式下得到了实验验证。

This article reports a first-ever decade-bandwidth pseudo-Doherty load-modulated balanced amplifier (PD-LMBA), designed for emerging 4G/5G communications and multiband operations. By revisiting the load-modulated balanced amplifier (LMBA) theory using an S-matrix-based signal-flow approach, a generalized theory for wideband LMBA operation is developed, taking into account the frequency-dependent nature of all components. In addition, by analyzing the signal-flow behavior of LMBA, a frequency-agnostic phase-alignment condition is identified as critical for ensuring intrinsic broadband load modulation. This unique design methodology enables, for the first time, the independent optimization of broadband balanced amplifier (BA, as the peaking) and control amplifier (CA, as the carrier), thus fundamentally addressing the longstanding limits imposed on the design of wideband load-modulated power amplifiers (PAs). To prove the proposed concept, an ultrawideband RF-input PD-LMBA is designed and developed using GaN technology covering the frequency range from 0.2 to 2 GHz. Experimental results demonstrate an efficiency of 51%–72% for peak output power and 44%–62% for 10-dB output power back-off (OBO), respectively.

We demonstrate a glass microwave microfluidic device for determining the permittivity of a wide range of liquid chemicals from 100 MHz to 30 GHz with associated uncertainties. Conventional microwave microfluidic devices use polymer-based microfluidic layers for fluid delivery, but these polymers swell in organic solvents and are not suitable for many applications. Our device incorporates glass microfluidic channels with platinum coplanar waveguides (CPWs) to provide a solvent-resistant architecture for broadband dielectric spectroscopy. We utilize broadband scattering parameter measurements with a vector network analyzer (VNA) on a wafer probing station and multiline thru-reflect–line (mTRL) calibrations to extract the distributed circuit parameters of transmission lines and solve for fluid permittivity. In this work, we demonstrate the utility of the device by measuring the permittivity of four organic solvents difficult to measure otherwise: hexane, heptane, decane, and toluene.

This work presents a mathematical procedure for solving coupling matrix synthesis problems with arbitrary topologies. A discussion on the properties of arbitrary response-preserving similarity transformations is provided. Based on this property, the proposed method rigorously addresses every possible coupling matrix complying with a desired target topology. This method applies to arbitrary target topologies, both redundant and non-redundant. In cases where there are an infinite number of solutions, this procedure yields a parameterized equation representing all such solutions.
