Micro resonators have been actively investigated for bio/chemical sensors and RF M/NEMS devices. Among various materials, SiC is a very promising material for micro/nano resonators since the ratio of its Young's modulus, E, to mass density, $\rho$, is significantly higher than other semiconductor materials, such as, Si and GaAs. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC cantilever with different lengths were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators were actuated by piezoelectric element and its fundamental resonance was measured by a laser vibrometer in air and vacuum at room temperature, respectively. For the cantilever with $100{\mu}m$ length, $10{\mu}m$width and $1.3{\mu}m$ thickness, the fundamental frequency appeared at 147.2 kHz.

ZnO thin films were deposited on Al and Pt electrodes by an RF reactive sputtering system for the fabrication of FBAR (film bulk acoustic wave resonator), and the effect of thermal treatment temperature on their c-axis preferred orientation was investigated. SEM experiments show that columnar structure of ZnO thin films were grown with c-axis normal to electrode material, and XRD experiments show that both ZnO films were grown with (002) plane preferred orientation, but larger diffraction peak was observed with Pt electrode. The peak intensity increased with higher thermal treatment temperature, but c-axis preferred orientation was diminished. The surface roughness of Al thin film was higher than that of Pt, and these affect the surface roughness of ZnO film deposited on the electrode. Though the preferred orientation with respect to Pt(111) plane was improved with higher thermal treatment temperature, this could not improve the c-axis orientation of ZnO film.

In this paper, we emphasize the advantage of thermal annealing treatments for improvement characteristics of film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) devices. The FBAR devices were fabricated on multi-layer thin films, namely, Bragg reflectors. Sintering and/or annealing processes were applied in our experiments. The measurements confirm once again a considerable improvement of return loss $(S_{11})$ and quality factor $(Q_{s/p})$. these thermal treatment techniques are really promising for enhancing performance of FBAR resonators in industry fabrication of RF devices.

In this paper, we present the effect on a novel transmission line filter response by the etch hole position on the suspended ground and the residue on the resonator under ground plane. We defined the etch hole offset as the distance from the sidewall of the suspended ground to the nearest side of the etch holes. We simulated new filter responses to reflect the real value of the changed etch hole offset caused by characteristics of negative photoresist. Return loss is distorted by the residue on the center conductor remained after sacrificial layer removing. By comparison of simulation and measurements, we concluded the residue on the resonator distorted the RF response worse than etch hole offset variation did.

위상 잡음 특성이 마이크로파 발진기에서 중요한 설계 요소가 되면서 위상잡음을 줄이기 위한 여러 방법의 연구 결과가 제안되었다. 이러한 방법들은 위상잡음을 줄이기 위해 공진기의 Q 값을 증대시키는데 초점을 맞추었다. 유전체 공진기는 높은 Q 값을 갖기 때문에 그동안 낮은 위상잡음을 갖는 마이크로파 발진기에 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 이것은 입체적 구조로 되어 있기 때문에 초고주파 집적회로(MMIC)에 적용할 수가 어려웠다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 평면형 구조이면서 위상잡음 특성을 개선할 수 있는 새로운 구조의 개방 링형 DGS 공진기를 제안하고, 이것을 이용하여 위상잡음 특성이 개선된 5.8GHz 대역의 발진기를 설계하였다. 개방 링형 DGS 공진기는 $50{\Omega}$ 전송선로 밑면에 링 모양으로 식각된 접지면을 갖는 구조로 되어있다. 발진기의 특성은 5.8GHz의 기본 주파수에서 6.1dBm의 출력레벨과 -82.7 dBc@100kHz의 위상잡음 특성을 나타내었다. 이것은 ${\lambda}/4$ 마이크로스트립 공진기를 이용한 것보다 위상잡음 특성이 96.5dB 정도 개선되었다.

A new vertical transition between a substrate integrated waveguide in a low-temperature co-fired ceramic substrate and an air-filled standard waveguide is proposed in this paper. A rectangular cavity resonator with closely spaced metallic vias is designed to connect the substrate integrated waveguide to the standard air-filled waveguide. Physical characteristics of an air-filled WR-22 to WR-22 transition are compared with those of the proposed transition. Simulation and experiment demonstrate that the proposed transition shows a -1.3 dB insertion loss and 6.2 GHz bandwidth with a 10 dB return loss for the back-to-back module. A 40 GHz low-temperature co-fired ceramic module with the proposed vertical transition is also implemented. The implemented module is very compact, measuring 57 mm ${\times}$ 28 mm ${\times}$ 3.3 mm.

In this paper, the power transfer efficiencies (PTEs) of magnetic resonance (MR) wireless power transmission (WPT) and radio frequency (RF) WPT are compared as a function of the distances between resonators (or antennas). The PTE of the C-loaded loop resonators during MR WPT was theoretically calculated and simulated at 6.78MHz, showing good agreement. The PTE of the patch antennas, whose area is the same as the C-loaded loop resonator during MR WPT, was theoretically calculated using the Friis equation and the equation by N. Shinohara and simulated at 5.8 GHz. The three results from the Friis equation, the equation by N. Shinohara, and from a full wave simulation are in strong agreement. The PTEs, when using the same size resonators and antennas are compared by considering the distance between the receiver and transmitter. The compared results show that the MR WPT PTE is higher than that of the RF WPT PTE when the distance (r) between the resonators (or antennas) is shorter. However, the RF WPT PTE is much higher than that of the MR WPT PTE when the distance (r) between the resonators (or antennas) is longer since the RF WPT PTE is proportional to $r^{-2}$ while the MR WPT PTE is proportional to $r^{-6}$.

본 논문은 저잡음 특성을 갖는 구조의 부성저항을 이용하여 공진부의 손실을 보상하는 새로운 구조의 공진회로를 제안하고 있다. 또한 여파기 설계시, noise해석을 통하여 최적의 noise 특성을 갖도록 능동 대역통과 여파기의 설계방법을 제시하고 있다. FET에 의해 만들어진 능동 커패시터는 부성저항과 커패시턴스 성분을 가지고 있으며, 부성저항에 의해 공진회로를 구성하는 인덕터 소자의 손실을 보상해 준다. 기존의 능동 여파기는 대개 높은 잡음지수를 가지는데 반하여 제안된 능동 여파기는 능동소자의 잡음특성을 최소화하는 구조로 설계되었다. 잡음지수를 최소화함으로서 RFIC나 MMIC와 같은 집적회로로서 수신단 Front-end설계에 응용할 수 있다. 제작된 2단 능동대역통과 여파기는 1.9 GHz 대역에서 설계되었으며, 측정된 삽입손실은 0 dB, 잡음지수는 2.6 dB, 그리고 OIP3는 8 dBm의 특성을 얻었다

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design and build an optimized birdcage resonator configuration with a low pass filter, which would facilitate the acquisition of high-resolution 3D-image of small animals at 3T MRI system. Methods and Materials: The birdcage resonator with 12-element structures was built, in order to ensure B1 homogeneity over the image volume and maximum filling factor, and hence to maximize the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and resolution of the 3-dimensional images. The diameter and length of each element of a birdcage resonator were as follows: (1) diameter 13 cm, length 22 cm, (2) diameter 15 cm, length 22 cm, (3) diameter 17 cm, length 25 cm. Spin echo pulse sequence and fast spin echo pulse sequence were employed in obtaining MR images. The quality of the manufactured birdcage resonators wes evaluated on the basis of the return loss following matching and tuning process. Results: The experimental MR image of phantoms by the various manufactured birdcage resonators were obtained to compare the SNR in accordance with the size of objects. The size of an object to that of coil was identified by parameters that were estimated from the image of a phantom. First, the diameter of the birdcage resonator was 15cm, and the ratio of the tangerine to the birdcage resonator accounted for approximately 27%. The Q factor was 53.2 and the SNR was 150.7. Second, at the same birdcage resonator, the ratio of the orange was approximately 53%. The SNR and the Q parameter was 212.8 and 91.2, respectively. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that if birdcage resonators have the same forms, SNR could be different depending on the size of an object, especially when the size of an object to that of coil is approximately 40~80%, the former is bigger than the latter. Therefore, when the size of an object to be observed is smaller than that of coil, the coil should be manufactured in accordance with the size of an object in order to obtain much more excellent images.
