In this paper, we review papers which report to the all solid-state electroactive polymer-based tunable lens. Since electroactive polymer-based tunable lenses change their focal length by responding to electric stimuli, it can be minimized the size and weight of optical modules. Thus, it has been received attention in the robot, mobile device and display industry. The all solid-state electroactive polymer-based tunable lenses can be classified into two categories depending on the classification of materials: ionic electroactive polymer-based lenses and non-ionic electroactive polymer-based lenses. Most of the ionic electroactive polymer-based tunable lenses are fabricated with ionic polymer-metal composite. So, the ionic electroactive polymer-based tunable lenses can be operated under low electric voltage. But small force, slow recovery time and environmental limitation for operation has been pointed to the disadvantage of the lenses. The non-ionic electroactive polymer-based tunable lenses are classified again into two categories: dielectric polymer-based tunable lenses and polyvinylchloride gel-based tunable lenses. The advantage of the dielectric polymer-based tunable lenses is fast response to electric stimuli. But the essential flexible electrodes degrade performance of the lens. Polyvinylchloride gel-based tunable lens has reported impressive performance without flexible electrodes.

Ferroelectric thin film is a very attractive material for the tunable microwave device applications such as electronically tunable mixers, delay lines, filters and phase shifters. Thin films of $Pb_{x}Sr_{1-x}TiO3(PST)$ were fabricated onto Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by the sol-gel method. We have investigated the structural and dielectric properties of PST(50/50) thin films for tunable microwave device applications. The PST thin films show typical polycrystalline structure with a dense microstructure without secondary phase formation. Dielectric properties of PST films are strongly dependent on annealing temperature. The dielectric constants, loss and tunability of the PST (50/50) thin films were 404, 0.023 and 51.73 %, respectively.

In this paper, we present a novel tunable microstrip bandpass filter based on split ring resonators (SRRs). The varactors are reverse-biased semiconductor diode, and are connected between the concentric rings of the SRR. An individual varactor loaded SRR based bandpass tunable filter module is analyzed. Then a second order tunable filter with 7% fractional bandwidth and a tuning range from 2.75 to 2.86 GHz is assembled from basic filter modules. The simulator HFSS (V10) is used to design the tunable filter and to simulate. The results show good characteristics is created.

In this paper, a MEMS tunable capacitor was successfully designed and fabricated using an aluminum nitride film and a gold suspended membrane with two air gap structure for commercial RF applications. Unlike conventional two-parallel-plate tunable capacitors, the proposed tunable capacitor consists of one air suspended top electrode and two fixed bottom electrodes. One fixed and the top movable electrodes form a variable capacitor, while the other one provides necessary electrostatic actuation. The fabricated tunable capacitor exhibited a capacitance tuning range of 375% at 2 GHz, exceeding the theoretical limit of conventional two-parallel-plate tunable capacitors. In case of the contact state, the maximal quality factor was approximately 25 at 1.5 GHz. The developed fabrication process is also compatible with the existing standard IC (integrated circuit) technology, which makes it suitable for on chip intelligent transceivers and radios.

This paper presented a novel approach for the design of a tunable dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) with independently tunable passband center frequencies and bandwidths. The newly proposed dual-band filter principally comprised two dual-mode single band filters using common input/output lines. Each single BPF was realized using a varactor-loaded transmission line resonator. To suppress the harmonics over a broad bandwidth, a defected ground structure was used at the input/output feeding lines. From the experimental results, it was found that the proposed filter exhibited the first passband center frequency tunable range from 1.48 to 1.8 GHz with a 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) variation from 5.76% to 8.55%, while the second passband center's frequency tunable range was 2.40 to 2.88 GHz with a 3-dB FBW variation from 8.28% to 12.42%. The measured results of the proposed filters showed a rejection level of 19 dB up to more than 10 times the highest center frequency of the first passband.

In this work, a novel tunable MIM capacitor with the meshed electrode is proposed first in order to improve the tunability characteristics using fringe fields. The capacitors were fabricated on a low-resistivity Si substrate employing lead zinc niobate (PZN) thin film dielectric. The fabricated capacitor with the meshed electrode, whose line width and spacing was $2.5{\mu}m$, achieved the effective capacitance tunability of 31 % that is higher value of 18.5 % than that of the conventional capacitor with the rectangular-type electrode.

TVWS에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있고, TVWS를 이용하는 통신시스템과 서비스에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. TVWS는 사용할 수 있는 주파수가 지역적으로 그리고 시간적으로 다르다. 때문에 TVWS를 이용하는 RF 시스템이 주파수가변 대역통과필터를 사용하면 시스템을 효과적으로 운용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 470 ~ 698MHz에서 동작하는 주파수가변 대역통과필터를 설계 및 구현하였다. 그리고 주파수가변 대역통과필터는 제어의 용이성과 크기를 고려해서 2-pole로 설계하였다. 구현한 주파수가변 대역통과필터는 제어전압을 1.58 ~ 3.93V 가변하면 470 ~ 698MHz에서 동작하며, 삽입손실은 최대 4.78dB, 반사손실은 10dB 이하를 갖는 것으로 측정되었다. 본 논문의 주파수가변 대역통과필터는 TVWS에서 동작하는 수신기에 직접 사용이 가능하며, 본 논문에서 사용한 주파수가변 대역통과필터의 설계 절차는 대전력 주파수가변 대역통과필터의 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 self-seeding FP-LD (Fabry Perot Laser Diode)를 이용하여 WDM-PON (Wavelength Division Multiplexing - Passive Optical Network)에서 사용될 수 있는 새로운 파장 가변 광원의 가능성을 검증한다. 파장 가변 광원을 이용한 WDM-PON의 기존 구현은 AWG (Arrayed Waveguide Grating) 소자의 중심 파장과 광원의 중심 파장을 세밀히 정렬해 주어야 하는 단점이 발생한다. 그러나, 본 논문에서 제안하는 파장 가변 광원은 매우 간단한 구조로 구성되며, 가변 파장이 AWG의 중심 파장에 자동 정렬되는 장점을 갖는다. 구현된 파장 가변 광원은 약 14 nm 정도 이상의 파장 가변 대역을 보였고, 상대적 세기 잡음, RIN (Relative Intensity Noise)은 최대 약 -124dB/Hz로 나타났으며, 외부 변조기를 통해 변조한 결과 10Gb/s 신호에 대한 변조 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

For demonstrating widely tunable external cavity lasers operating for near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, a flexible polymer waveguide with an imbedded Bragg grating is incorporated. Due to the superior flexibility of the polymer material, the reflection wavelength of the Bragg grating is widely tunable by imposing tensile and compressive strains on the flexible Bragg grating. A third-order Bragg grating is formed on the device for facilitating the fabrication method. With a superluminescent laser diode as a gain medium of ECL, the tunable laser exhibited output power of -3 dBm and a tuning range of 32 nm.
