Objective
Microwave systems play a key role for the global society of the next millennium with applications from terrestrial and satellite communication including software Radio, UMTS GPS and DBS TV to environmental monitoring from satellite and future systems connecting phone networks for car and aircraft navigation. Improved microwave components based on dedicated materials & new designs are required.
The materials, combinations and structures to be investigated are the following :
- dielectric ceramics & crystals with low loss at low temperature & R.T.
- ferroelectric/superconductor heterostructures for electronic frequency tuning
- photonic dielectric structures: high Q & tailored temperature coefficient.
This project has successfully delivered on all the original objectives.
1 High temperature superconducting filters with low insertion loss and steep filter skirts were developed and functionsl. Thin films of YBCO were successfully deposited by Pulsed laser deposition and by magnetron sputtering. Tuneable devices were made with ferroelectric SrTiO3 and (BaSr)TiO3.
2 Ceramic development concentrated on the manufacture of ultra low loss alumina and a temperature stable Alumina-titania layered composite. This was extremely successful and has been patented. A demonstrator satellite filter has been constructed.
3 Photonic structures are in the early stages of development.
4 Phase noise measurements have been performed and intermodulation experiments have been conducted on the devices.
5 A Cryogenic ultra stable microwave oscillator comprising sapphire and rutile has been successfully built and tested.
