研究目的
To develop a continuous recon?gurable resonator with high tunability range based on Decoupled Empty Substrate Integrated Waveguide (DESIW) technology ?lled with a tunable material (LC).
研究成果
A fully continuous tunable resonator has been designed and manufactured, achieving a wide tunability range through a combination of magnetic and electric biasing fields. The magnetic biasing allows for extreme states, while electric biasing achieves continuous intermediate states, demonstrating the potential of LC materials in reconfigurable microwave components.
研究不足
The electric biasing achieves a narrower tuning range compared to magnetic biasing due to limitations in applying the voltage across the entire surface. The initial alignment of LC molecules affects the resonance frequency, leading to shifts from simulated values.
