The AMR Group has an automatized bench for the measurement of DC-characteristics, [S] parameters (45 MHz- 40 GHz) and noise parameters (2-26.5 GHz) of microwave on-wafer transistors. The hardware configuration is described, ...

this paper proposes different strategies for the electrical modelling of capacitive and resistive RF-MEMS switches which take into account the dependence of the electrical performance on the mechanical properties and ...

This paper proposes a new method to measure dynamics and power handling of RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices based on a mobile membrane. The method uses in-phase/quadrature demodulation of an RF signal ...

In this paper a reconfigurable bandstop filter able to reconfigure central frequency, bandwidth and selectivity for fine tuning applications is presented. The reconfigurable filter topology has four poles and a ...

A new 6-port “circuit-model” for coplanar-slotline crosses is presented. The model is based on the separation of the two fundamental Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) modes (even and odd) into different ports. It generalizes previous ...

Coplanar-slotline tees have been used in a number of microwave circuits, although no complete models were available to explain their behavior. In this letter, a new

A new `circuit model' for the conversion between even and odd modes in coplanar waveguide asymmetric shunt impedances is presented. The model is based on the separation of modes into two input and two output ports. In ...

A new `circuit model' for converting between even and odd modes in asymmetric series impedances in the ground plane of a coplanar waveguide is presented. The model is based on the separation of modes into two input and two ...

A new `circuit-model' for slotline-to-coplanar waveguide asymmetrical transitions is presented and applied to the design of slotline resonators. The model, based on the separation of coplanar-waveguide (CPW) modes into two ...
