We demonstrate how the medium with the hyperbolic isofrequency surfaces in the wavevector space can be realized by two-dimensional artificial transmission lines. The peculiar character of wave propagation in such a hyperbolic medium is visualized by the study of the cross-like emission pattern of a current source. Our results are supported by the direct solution of the Kirchhoff equations and an analytical theory.

In this paper, we report on a novel photonic integrated 70 GHz band (71-76 GHz) photoreceiver module featuring a 1.55 μm double-waveguide photodiode (PD) implemented with a planar bias-T, a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a high-power amplifier (HPA) and a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) to WR-12 rectangular waveguide transition. The photoreceiver module is hybrid integrated on a low-loss laminate subcarrier. The developed InP-based double-waveguide PD exhibits an ultra-flat frequency response with a maximum deviation of only ±0.4 dB over the entire frequency band of interest from 71-76 GHz. Within that frequency range, the PD delivers output power levels in excess of -20 dBm to 50 Ω already at low photocurrent levels of only ~5 mA. This is sufficient for reaching the +17.5 dBm saturation output power level of the HPA, since the total gain of the LNA and the HPA is about 37 dB. The output return loss of the PD with integrated GCPW is measured to be ~23 dB. The input return loss of the GCPW-to-WR-12 transition is determined to be in the order of ~20 dB within the 70 GHz band. In addition to the technological and experimental achievements, we also present a system approach for wideband photonic wireless transmission within the E-band (60-90 GHz).

In view of mobile and battery-powered applications, there is an increasing demand for more radically miniaturized and low-power atomic frequency standards. For the miniaturization of a double-resonance Rubidium atomic clocks, the size reduction of the microwave cavity or microwave resonator (MWR) to well below the wavelength of the atomic transition (6.835 GHz in the case of 87Rb) has been a longstanding issue. In this paper we propose a new miniaturized MWR, the μ-LGR, that meets the requirements for the atomic clock application while the structure is very compact, and assembly can be performed using standard and potentially low-cost techniques. Concept of the proposed device was proven through simulation and prototypes were successfully tested, showing the μ-LGR to be suitable for the integration in a miniaturized atomic clock.

Propagation of electromagnetic waves in a structure formed by periodically alternating semiconductor and dielectric layers is studied for the case where an external magnetic field is applied parallel to the boundaries of the layers. The expressions for effective permittivity were obtained in the long-wave limit. It was shown that, investigated structure represents a biaxial crystal. The dependence of transmission spectra of electromagnetic waves that propagate through a fine-stratified periodic structure on the external magnetic field, frequency and thicknesses of the layers was examined theoretically.

This paper reports on an original rotating MEMS structure used to design RF tunable passive components operating in the X band. These components are either analog tuning MEMS variable capacitors or inductors, based respectively on surface variation or magnetic coupling variation. The choice of a rotating MEMS allows high displacements leading to high tuning ratios. A great advantage of the proposed solution relies in the possibility to integrate into the same chip several analog tuning RF MEMS (up to 8) on a surface reduced below 20mm2.

The study of the transmission of electromagnetic waves through periodically perforated opaque screens, even though being a very classical topic, has received a renewed attention along the last fifteen years because of the discovery of the exciting phenomenon so-called extraordinary optical transmission [1]. The transmission spectrum of structures consisting on periodic arrays of holes or slits made in electrically thick metal plates has been explained in terms of the surface waves supported by the perforated screens (spoof surface plasmon polaritons). However, some of the authors of this paper have reported simple circuit models accounting for the transmission spectra of a variety of periodically perforated structures. In this paper we apply the circuit model methodology to explain the details of the transmission spectra of periodic gratings of slits made in thick conducting screens when the slits are geometrically nonuniform. In particular, we study slits with unsymmetrically placed bumps and cuts and tapered slits. The results provided by simple analytical circuit-like models are shown to agree very well with data obtained with a commercial finite elements solver. The availability of analytical models reports obvious advantages over numerical approaches, specially for design purposes.

In this work we present the wideband time-domain analysis of the direction characteristics of circular antenna arrays used for electromagnetic interference sensing. We compute the directivity of circular sensor arrays for stochastic plane waves by delay time synthesis. As an example we simulate the sensor array characteristics for stochastic plane waves with Gaussian spectrum.
