Microwave Characterization

Characterization of the dielectric properties of bulk materials in the microwave frequency range is well developed while that of thin films is a challenge. New microwave characterization techniques are needed for thin films taking in to account the fact that they are always deposited on a dielectric or conducting substrate and the thickness of the film is too small compared to the wavelength involved. In this paper we are demonstrating various techniques that can be used for the microwave characterization of thin films. The microwave dielectric properties of the bismuth zinc niobate (BZN) thin films were characterized at different frequencies using a few techniques by involving coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission lines circular patch capacitors and split post dielectric resonators. The first two are broadband measurement techniques while the third one is a spot frequency technique.

ABSTRACTOpen-ended coaxial probes have been used in broadband dielectric properties measurements for several years. To aid in the ongoing numerical simulation and microwave sintering research at the University of Utah, we have found it necessary to make dielectric properties measurements up to temperatures as high as 1400 °C. The available cavity perturbation techniques were unsuitable in this application due to their relatively narrow band, and the available metal probes are also unsuitable due to the differential thermal expansions of the inner and outer conductors, which makes it difficult to carry out accurate and on-line calibration procedures for these probes.To help us achieve both broadband and high-temperature dielectric properties measurements, we have developed a new metallized ceramic coaxial probe. The detailed design of this probe is described and the metallization procedure is discussed.Also to optimize the design of the probe and in particular to increase the penetration of fields in samples under test and hence improve the probe sensitivity to variation in properties of a larger class of materials, and to determine the required minimum thickness of various samples to obtain accurate results, we modeled and simulated the probe performance using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. Results from the FDTD simulation are presented and some guidelines that may be used to optimize the design of the probe are discussed.

The Difference

AbstractThis article presents a novel microfluidic impedance cytometer enabling dielectric characterization of single cells at frequencies up to 500 MHz. The dielectric properties of cells at lower frequencies contain information about their size and membrane capacitance. The increased frequency range of the presented cytometer potentially allows for characterization of intracellular components, such as vacuoles or the cell nuclei. We demonstrate the overall capabilities of the cytometer through discrimination of polystyrene beads from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The discrimination is based on the difference in dielectric properties at frequencies up to 500 MHz.

During the 2020/21 academic year, the active and collaborative learning methodology was implemented in the development of a laboratory practice of the Eco-efficient Materials course of the second year of the University Master's Degree in Engineering, Processing and Characterization of Materials, in virtual modality. The use of this methodology aims to promote student participation and increase their level of responsibility in the laboratory practice, making use of the advantages of a virtual modality. Before carrying out the practice, students were given a script and then an explanatory session and resolution of doubts was held. The practices were carried out in a virtual and synchronous way. The students were responsible for setting the parameters and the teacher was in charge of reproducing them in the laboratory. The objective of this work was to observe the behavior of the students in decision-making, to appreciate if they acquired the necessary knowledge for the development of the practice and to solve the problems that may arise during it. Subsequently, the learning methodology between a virtual and a face-to-face modality was compared, and an active and collaborative learning methodology was developed that can be applied in either of the two scenarios.

During the 2019/2020 academic year, project-based learning has been introduced in the development of a laboratory practice of the Eco-efficient Materials subject, given in the second year of the University Master's Degree in Engineering, Processing and Characterization of Materials to obtain recycled paper. The practice was carried out during 3 sessions in groups of 3 students. Prior to the practice, the teacher made a guide on how to recycle paper and the students looked for information to help themself to determine whether if they would add some fillers or another additives in order to optimize the product obtained. Therefore, they were who decided on what the composition of the recycled paper would be. The objective of doing the practice in this way was to observe the students abilities for information search, decision making and the development of the final product and its characterization. An improvement was observed in the students' abilities to handle the laboratory characterization equipments, and more confidence in making decisions.

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) material systems offer a highly versatile microwave and millimeter wave packaging platform. Extremely low microwave loss, excellent control of dielectric constant, uniform dielectric thickness, non-existent water absorption leading to very high hermeticity, ability to support multilayer structure leading to 3-dimensional packaging, ability to embed passive functions within the tape layers, availability of a wide range of metallizations, etc. are some of the key advantages of LTCC for microwave packaging. One of the important parameters which needs to be determined at the very early stages of circuit designs are the dielectric properties - dielectric constant and loss tangent, both of which are functions of frequency. These properties need to be known accurately over the entire frequency range of operation for the circuit. For LTCC based designs, the use of dielectric constant of bulk material can lead to deviations between the performance expected at the design stage and for the fabricated circuit. Such deviations are a significant concern for broadband circuits as well as for circuits with sharp resonant behavior such as filters. One of the significant sources of deviation between bulk LTCC and “in-circuit” dielectric constant is the nature of the thick film metallizations used in LTCC technology. Work described here is a comprehensive characterization of three DuPont™ GreenTape™ LTCC systems 951, 943, and 9K7 - in the frequency range 10 to 70 GHz. Both bulk and “in-circuit” dielectric properties with silver and gold metallizations are studied to quantify the deviations in dielectric properties. A Fabry-Perot open resonator technique is used for the bulk characterization while printed ring resonators are used for the in-circuit characterization. This comprehensive characterization will provide key design data for LTCC designers in the 10 – 70 GHz frequency range.
