A novel low-loss four-bit bandpass filter using RF MEMS switches

This paper details the design and simulation of a novel low-loss four-bit reconfigurable bandpass filter that integrates microelectromechanical system(MEMS)switches and comb resonators.A T-shaped reconfigurable resonator is reconfigured in a'one resonator,multiple MEMS switches'configuration and used to gate the load capacitances of comb resonators so that a multiple-frequency filtering function is realized within the 7-16 GHz frequency range.In addition,the insertion loss of the filter is less than 1.99 dB,the out-of-band rejection is more than 18.30 dB,and the group delay is less than 0.25 ns.On the other hand,the size of this novel filter is only 4.4 mm×2.5 mm×0.4 mm.Our results indicate that this MEMS reconfigurable filter,which can switch 16 central frequency bands through eight switches,achieves a low insertion loss compared to those of traditional MEMS filters.In addition,the advantages of small size are obtained while achieving high integration.     

从含镁二壬基萘磺酸-磺化煤油溶液中反萃取镁的研究

采用简单的反萃取法回收二壬基萘磺酸-磺化煤油溶液中的镁。考察了反萃剂种类、反萃时间、反萃转速、反萃剂浓度、反萃相比(有机相与水相的体积比)O/A值对反萃取率的影响。研究结果表明:在常温下,以硫酸作反萃取剂,反萃剂浓度为4 mol·L-1,反萃时间为20 min,反萃取震荡转速为200 rpm,反萃相比O/A值为5时,镁的反萃率可达93.98%,经过反萃后得到的二壬基萘磺酸-磺化煤油溶液可以重复萃取冶金废水的镁离子,镁的萃取率保持不变。这一研究结果对于冶金行业废水的处理与综合利用具有重要参考价值。     

A novel multifunctional electronic calibration kit integrated by MEMS SPDT switches

Design and simulation results of a novel multifunctional electronic calibration kit based on microelectromechanical system (MEMS) single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches are presented in this paper. The short-open-load-through (SOLT) calibration states can be completed simultaneously by using the MEMS electronic calibration, and the electronic calibrator can be reused 10⁶ times. The simulation results show that this novel electronic calibration can be used in a frequency range of 0.1 GHz-20 GHz, the return loss is less than 0.18 dB and 0.035 dB in short-circuit and open-circuit states, respectively, and the insertion loss in through (thru) state is less than 0.27 dB. On the other hand, the size of this novel calibration kit is only 6 mm×2.8 mm×0.8 mm. Our results demonstrate that the calibrator with integrated radio-frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) switches can not only provide reduced size, loss, and calibration cost compared with traditional calibration kit but also improves the calibration accuracy and efficiency. It has great potential applications in millimeter-wave measurement and testing technologies, such as device testing, vector network analyzers, and RF probe stations.
