Effect of Resistivity Variations on the Performance of Lossy Micro-machined Resonators

This article examines the effect of wafer resistivity on micro-machined resonator performance. Two similar topologies, on two wafers of different (low and high) resistivities, have been compared at X-band. The high resistivity wafer shows a 10 dB impro...
Microstrip resonators have very important applications in microwave or millimeter-wave systems. They are important components of microstrip filters, microstrip oscillators and microstrip antennas, and enable miniaturization of microwave equipment with improved performance. The performance of a microstrip resonator relies on the electromagnetic field distribution, the resonant frequency and the...
