Micro-optical gyroscopes (MOGs) are a type of high-accuracy gyroscope, which have the advantages of miniaturization, low cost, and satisfactory operating power. The quality factor (Q) of the waveguide ring resonators (WRRs) is very important to the performance of MOGs. This paper reviews various MOGs using WRRs made from different materials, including silica, indium phosphide, calcium fluoride, and polymer WRRs. The different architectures of the MOGs are reviewed, such as double-ring resonator MOGs and multiple-ring resonator MOGs. Candidate high-Q WRRs for MOGs, including silicon nitride, lithium niobite, calcium fluoride, and magnesium fluoride WRRs, are also reviewed. The manufacturing process, Q, and integration density values are compared. Summarizing the advanced WRRs and calculating the shot-noise-limited sensitivity are helpful processes in selecting suitable materials to fabricate MOGs.

We designed High-Q micro-ring resonators based on SOI material. A new method of using a top SiO2 layer to cover the waveguide is applied and the tested Q factor is as high as 1.0135×104. Micro-ring resonator has been fabricated using Electron-Beam Lithography and Inductive Coupled Plasma. OptiFDTD was used to simulate the micro-ring resonator and we compared the transmission spectrum of this resonator with the resonator without SiO2 covering.

In this paper, two types of miniaturized dual-mode bandpass filters (BPF), a single-ring (SR) resonator, and a double-ring (DR) resonator are developed. By applying the capacitive-coupling technique to a dual-mode ring filter, a technique is proposed to miniaturize the dual-mode double-ring filter. An adjustable dual-band bandpass filter is achieved by developing a ring resonator where the two modes are capacitively coupled. Control of the filter center frequency is determined by the diameter of the ring and by the rings annular width. Filter coupling amount can also be adjusted by disturbance (perturbation) of an open stub attached to the annular disc. Proposed filters explore both single- and double-ring architectures. A single-ring resonator acting as a dual bandpass filter to allow 3.8 GHz and 7.8 GHz single is developed. A double-ring resonator to allow 2.05 GHz and 3.9 GHz signals is also developed. The ring resonators are fabricated on RO-4003 substrate, with relative dielectric constant of 3.38, thickness of 0.8 mm, and dielectric loss tangent of 0.0025. Results indicate the filters can be applied in the communications field.

Microwave resonators are widely used for numerous applications including communication, biomedical and chemical applications, material testing, and food grading. Split-ring resonators in both planar and nonplanar forms are a simple structure which has been in use for several decades. This type of resonator is characterized with low cost, ease of fabrication, moderate quality factor, low external noise interference, high stability, and so forth. Due to these attractive features and ease in handling, nonplanar form of structure has been utilized for material characterization in 1–5 GHz range. Resonant frequency and quality factor are two important parameters for determination of material properties utilizing perturbation theory. Shield made of conducting material is utilized to enclose split-ring resonator which enhances quality factor. This work presents a novel technique to develop shield around a predesigned nonplanar split-ring resonator to yield optimized quality factor. Based on this technique and statistical analysis regression equations have also been formulated for resonant frequency and quality factor which is a major outcome of this work. These equations quantify dependence of output parameters on various factors of shield made of different materials. Such analysis is instrumental in development of devices/designs where improved/optimum result is required.

The vital role of high-quality-factor (Q) high-frequency (f) dielectric resonators in the growing microwave telecommunication, satellite broadcasting and intelligent transport systems has long motivated the search for new, small size, and lightweight integrated components and packages, prepared by low cost and sustainable processes. One approach is replacing the currently used bulk ceramic dielectrics by thick films of low-sintering-temperature dielectrics fabricated by affordable processes. Here we demonstrate the fabrication of high-Q TiTe3O8 thick films directly on low loss Al2O3 substrates by electrophoretic deposition using sacrificial carbon layer. Nineteen-micrometre-thick TiTe3O8 films on Al2O3 sintered at 700 °C are found to have a relative permittivity εr of 32 and Q × f > 21,000 GHz. Being thus able to measure and provide for the first time the microwave dielectric properties of these films, our results suggest that TiTe3O8 films on Al2O3 substrates are suitable for microlayer microstrip array applications.

Mango is one of the agricultural products in West Nusa Tenggara Province. The quality of post-harvest mangoes also needs to be known so that the quality produced can be maintained. Fruit quality in the tropics can be seen from the respiration rate, hardness, weight loss, total soluble content (TSC), discoloration and acid content. In addition, the quality of post-harvest mangoes can also be detected using sensors that emit microwaves with a certain value. This technique is non-destructive so it does not damage the object used. Double-ring resonators are used as sensors to detect the characteristics of mangoes. Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is used as a tool to produce S11 and S21 skatering values, then the skatering values are processed into dielectric values. The test was carried out on the type of Gincong Gincu Mango which was divided into 4 categories, namely ripe mango on the tree, very ripe, thick and raw. Double ring resonator sensor can detect and distinguish the maturity level of mangoes based on the value of S21 in the frequency range of 0.39 to 0.49 GHz. In that frequency range, the average gain value of ripe on tree is -21.4 dB, over ripe is -22.8 dB, early ripe is -25.4 dB and unrip mango is -33.4 dB. While the characterization of mangoes using impedance values can be seen in the frequency range of 0.41 - 0.47 GHz. The average impedance value of ripe on tree is about 0.073, over ripe is about 0.067, early ripe is about 0.057 and unripe mangos is about 0.032
