AbstractThis article presents a millimeter-wave diagnostic for the in-situ monitoring of liquid metal jetting additive manufacturing systems. The diagnostic leverages a T-junction waveguide device to monitor impedance changes due to jetted metal droplets in real time. An analytical formulation for the time-domain T-junction operation is presented and supported with a quasi-static full-wave electromagnetic simulation model. The approach is evaluated experimentally with metallic spheres of known diameters ranging from 0.79 to 3.18 mm. It is then demonstrated in a custom drop-on-demand liquid metal jetting system where effective droplet diameters ranging from 0.8 to 1.6 mm are detected. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach can provide information about droplet size, timing, and motion by monitoring a single parameter, the reflection coefficient amplitude at the input port. These results show the promise of the impedance diagnostic as a reliable in-situ characterization method for metal droplets in an advanced manufacturing system.

In this paper a two-dimensional wireless relay plane consists of square resonant units is proposed. Power transfer between the transmitting coil and receiver above any unit can be achieved by resonance through the shortest routes on the plane. The self-resonant frequencies of units on the planned route are adjusted to be identical for efficient power transfer, while units beyond the route are isolated from power exchange due to frequency shift. Full wave electromagnetic simulation is executed and analyzed. According to the simulation results, concentrated power transfer can be realized on the power relay plane, and the highest transmission efficiency is 73.93%.

In this paper, a broadband and simple vertical transition between substrate integrated waveguide and standard air-filled rectangular waveguide is design and experimentally verified. From full-wave simulation of the structure, a relative bandwidth of 19.5% in W-band with return loss better than 20dB is reached. Then, five copies of back-to-back connected transitions are fabricated on RT/Duroid 5880 substrate. The experimental results show that the transition pairs have an average of 15% relative bandwidth with return loss better than 12dB and insert loss lower than 1.2dB. To explain the differences between simulated and tested results, an error analysis is presented.

In this paper, a new multi-layered triple-passband bandpass filter using embedded and stub-loaded stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) is proposed. The filter is designed to have triple-passband at 1.8, 2.4, and 3.5 GHz. The 1st and 2nd passbands (1.8/2.4 GHz) are simultaneously generated by controlling the impedance and length ratios of the embedded SIRs (on top layer). The 3rd passband (3.5 GHz) is generated by using the stub-loaded SIR (on bottom layer). Using the embedded SIR, the even modes can be tuned within very wide frequency range and without affecting the odd modes. Therefore, the design of multi-band filters with very close passbands can be easily achieved and having a high isolation between the passbands. The filter can provide the multi-path propagation to enhance the frequency response and achieving the compact circuit size. The measured results are in good agreement with the full-wave electromagnetic simulation results.

This paper presents millimeter wave characterization and models of various wire bond transitions between chip’s ground-signal-ground pad (GSG) and microstrip (MS), include single-wire-nomatch MS-GSG transition, double-wire-nomatch MS-GSG, single-wire-match MS-GSG transition, and double-wire-match MS-GSG transition. It also presents the 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation. Analysis results show that the double-wire-match MS-GSG transition’s characteristic is better than other three transitions in the whole W band. The accurate extracted parameter values are used for the lumped equivalent circuit model, whose simulation results are good with the full wave simulation results. The error between lumped equivalent circuit and full-wave models is of the order of ±0.2dB for S11 and S21 in the frequency range 75 - 105GHz. The proposed lumped equivalent circuit is suitable to be implemented in commercial microwave CAD tools for the electromagnetic sensor designing.
