Lumped Resistors

In this paper the results of miniature thick film resistors designed as add-on lumped resistors are presented. A few resistor configurations have been elaborated and tested, and a specific trimming resistance, which avoids parasitic trimming inductance was used. Some of the designed resistors were used in isolators and directional couplers for the 2-11 GHz band. The electrical parameters have been presented and discussed. The assembly methods for these resistors to the microstrip lines have also been given.

Constituent Elements

The realisation of microwave integrated circuits consisting of numerous elements and components, both passive and active, takes place in steps. Initially, experimental constituent elements are designed and constructed, and only after it is found that they satisfy the operating conditions, can they be integrated into a sub-system. As a result of this we obtain complicated Microwave Integrated Circuits (MICs). Initially however one has to construct basic MIC elements such as: resonators, filters, couplings, Y branch joints, circulators, etc. During research over several years carried out at the Microelectronics Department, Institute of Electronics, of the Mining and Metallurgical University of Kraków and devoted to the application of thick-film technology to MIC, the authors have devised and constructed several microwave elements using strip-lines and this paper reports of the results of their studies.Pastes produced by DU PONT/USA were used. New mathematical models for designing thick-film microwave elements have been elaborated using computer techniques. These programmes have differed from analogous ones for MIC realized by thin-film technology can be adapted, after certain modifications, to the realisation of MIC. The authors have introduced new technological operations, not used so far, to the technological process. This has made possible the production of thick-film microwave elements with parameters comparable to those obtained in thin-film technology.

Measurement Results

The applicability of the various copper compositions to the production of thick-film microwave devices has been examined. The results of this work are presented in this paper. The paper presents criteria and computer programs for thick-film microwave integrated circuits. The investigations of asymmetrical striplines, stripline and circular resonators, microwave filters etc., have been used as a basis. The circuits were examined within the frequency band of 1–12 GHz. Based on the measurement results and the statistical analysis of the parameters of microwave integrated circuits, interesting conclusions concerned with the applications of thick-film techniques to microwaves have been drawn. The results obtained have been compared with other work and new mathematical models have been prepared. Finally the future development of microwave integrated circuits has been commented on.
