Modified FSIW Filter With $N$ Transmission Zeros Using BCB-Based MEMS Technology

Preparation and properties of benzocyclobutene based low-k linear polysiloxane

“…The desired products were purified by reduced pressure distillation to afford a faint yellow liquid in a yield over 60%. The chemical structures of BCB-D and BCB-S were confirmed by 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra. See Fig.…”

“…The resulting solids were washed in n-hexane, concentrated, and quickly distilled under reduced pressure to produce a faint yellow liquid (65% yield). 1 Polymers (LSOVBCB). A solution of BCB-D (10 wt%), ultrapure water (the mole ratio of water to BCB-D was 3 : 1) and TMAOH (5 wt%) in toluene was heated to 80 1C and stirred for 4 h to prepare LSOVBCB-1.…”

“…Benzocyclobutene (BCB) compounds are used in low-dielectric constant interlayer media for semiconductor chips. [1][2][3][4] One of the most important reasons for this is that they undergo special crosslinking reactions between molecules (as represented in Scheme 1). These reactions reduce compactness and shrinkage during curing in polymers that contain BCB compounds.…”

A parasitic patch loaded staircase shaped UWB MIMO antenna having notch band for WBAN applications

“…To improve isolation, the researcher has introduced a number of approaches, including using parasitic patches between antenna elements, using Defective Ground Structures (DGS), loading Electromagnetic Band Gaps (EBGs) and loading meta–surfaces as well as filters [ [9] , [10] , [11] ]. It is important to note that the applications of EBGs and meta-surfaces are not limited to isolation alone, but also include gain enhancement [ 12 , 13 ], phase correction [ 14 ], leaky-wave antennas [ 15 ], spatial filters [ 16 , 17 ], transmit arrays [ 18 , 19 ] and harmonic suppression [ 20 ]. In literature, there are many designs suggested to operate in lower frequency bands ranging from 1.5 to 18 GHz, which includes GPS, ISM, WLAN, WiMAX, 5G–Sub6GHz, C–Band, X–Band and S–Band [ [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] ].…”

Miniaturization of folded circular SIW cavity filters

“…A subsystem based on such components has been successfully implemented in [8], while the authors in [9] address their application to higherorder filters. The multimode operation provides anotherintrinsicmeans to reduce the circuit size [10,11]. Besides, loading of SIW cavities is an alternative miniaturization approach [12].…”
