摘要： A miniature chemical sensor using a thin film acoustic resonator coated with a chemically sensitive sorbent coating. The thin film acoustic resonator has electrodes separated by a thin piezoelectric layer and is supported by a multilayer resonant acoustic isolator. The resonant acoustic isolator has alternating layers of high and low acoustic impedance material, each layer being one quarter acoustic wavelength thick or an odd multiple thereof at the resonant frequency. The resonant acoustic isolator is solidly mounted on a substrate but provides acoustic isolation between the thin film acoustic resonator and the substrate at a resonant frequency.

摘要： A resonant acoustic isolator supports a thin film acoustic resonator comprising a layer of piezoelectric material having top and bottom electrical contacts. The resonant acoustic isolator comprises at least one pair of layers of materials having different acoustic impedances. The isolator materials are deposited in alternating layers of high and low impedance material, with each layer having a thickness of 1/4 acoustic wavelength at resonant frequency. Silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2) is preferred for the low impedance material because it is ubiquitous in the semiconductor industry, it has relatively low acoustic impedance with very low intrinsic acoustic loss, and it can be deposited using a variety of convenient methods. Hafnium oxide (HfO.sub.2) is preferred for the high acoustic impedance material because it can be deposited by evaporation to form a hard, dense dielectric having a relatively high acoustic impedance. Deposition of an entire stack of alternating SiO.sub.2 and HfO.sub.2 layers can be performed in the same chamber using electron beam deposition techniques for low cost production.

摘要： An integrated, tunable inductance network features a number of fixed inductors fabricated on a common substrate along with a switching network made up of a number of micro-electromechanical (MEM) switches. The switches selectably interconnect the inductors to form an inductance network having a particular inductance value, which can be set with a high degree of precision when the inductors are configured appropriately. The preferred MEM switches introduce a very small amount of resistance, and the inductance network can thus have a high Q. The MEM switches and inductors can be integrated using common processing steps, reducing parasitic capacitance problems associated with wire bonds and prior art switches, increasing reliability, and reducing the space, weight and power requirements of prior art designs. The precisely tunable high-Q inductance network has wide applicability, such as in a resonant circuit which provides a narrow bandwidth frequency response which peaks at a specific predetermined frequency, making possible a highly selective performance low noise amplifier (LNA), or in an oscillator circuit so that a precise frequency of oscillation can be generated and changed as needed.

摘要： The passive components of a transceiver, such as transmit/receive switches, antennas, inductors, capacitors and resonators, are integrated together on a common substrate to form an integrated passive transceiver section, which, in combination with other components, provides a highly reliable, low-cost, high-performance transceiver. Micro-electromechanical (MEM) device fabrication techniques are used to provide low-loss, high-performance switches and low-loss, high-Q reactive components, and enable the passive transceiver section's high level of integration. The passive components are preferably integrated on a low-cost glass substrate, with transceiver circuits containing active components fabricated on a separate substrate; the separate substrates are interconnected to implement the RF/analog and analog/digital interface portions of a transceiver. Additional MEM switching devices permit multiple, parallel signal paths to be switched in and out of the transceiver circuitry as needed to optimize performance.

摘要： A high Q MEMS capacitor that can be continuously tuned with a large tuning ratio or reversibly trimmed using an electrostatic force. The tunable capacitor has a master/slave structure in which a control voltage is applied to the master (control) capacitor to set the capacitance of the slave (signal) capacitor to which an RF signal is applied via a suspended mechanical coupler. The master-slave structure reduces tuning error by reducing the signal capacitor's surface area and increasing its spring constant, and may eliminate the need for discrete blocking inductors by electrically isolating the control and signal capacitors. The trimmable capacitor provides an electrostatic actuator that selectively engages a stopper with teeth on a tunable capacitor structure to fix the trimmed capacitance.

摘要： A frequency stabilizer circuit in the form of a charge-pump phase-lock loop utilizing a MEMS capacitance device, preferably a tunable MEMS capacitor or a MEMS capacitor bank, which more rapid and with a greater precision determine the phase and frequency of a carrier signal so that it can be extracted, providing an information signal of interest. Such MEMS devices have the added advantage of providing linear capacitance, low insertion losses, higher isolation and high reliability, they run on low power and permit the entire circuit to be fabricated on a common substrate. The use of the MEMS capacitance device reduces unwanted harmonics generated by the circuit's charge pump allowing the filtering requirements to be relaxed or perhaps eliminated.

摘要： A monolithically integrated switched capacitor bank using MEMS technology that is capable of handling GHz signal frequencies in both the RF and millimeter bands while maintaining precise digital selection of capacitor levels over a wide tuning range. Each MEMS switch includes a cantilever arm that is affixed to the substrate and extends over a ground line and a gapped signal line. An electrical contact is formed on the bottom of the cantilever arm positioned above and facing the gap in the signal line. A top electrode atop the cantilever arm forms a control capacitor structure above the ground line. A capacitor structure, preferably a MEMS capacitor suspended above the substrate at approximately the same height as the cantilever arm, is anchored to the substrate and connected in series with a MEMS switch. The MEMS switch is actuated by applying a voltage to the top electrode, which produces an electrostatic force that attracts the control capacitor structure toward the ground line, thereby causing the electrical contact to close the gap in the signal line and connect the MEMS capacitor structure between a pair of output terminals. The integrated MEMS switch-capacitor pairs have a large range between their on-state and off-state impedance, and thus exhibit superior isolation and insertion loss characteristics.

摘要： An integrated, variable gain microwave frequency power amplifier comprises a number of individual amplifier stages which contain microwave frequency active devices. Each stage is fed with a common input signal, and the individual stage outputs are connected to respective micro-electromechanical (MEM) switches which, when closed, connect the individual outputs together to form the power amplifier's output. The power amplifier's gain is determined by the number of outputs connected together. The preferred switch provides low insertion loss and excellent electrical isolation, enabling a number of amplifier stages to be efficiently interconnected to provide a wide dynamic range power amplifier. The switches are preferably integrated on a common substrate with the active devices, eliminating the need for wire bonds and reducing parasitic capacitances. A variable impedance network comprising a number of impedance matching networks selected using MEM switches can be connected to and integrated with a variable gain power amplifier to provide impedance matching that is appropriate for each of the power amplifier's possible output power levels.
