The concept is based on the intermodal coupling between the TE01δ mode of a cylindrical dielectric resonator and radially arranged planar slotline resonators. The resonance frequency of the dielectric resonator is changed by switching a resistive load at the open end of each quarter wave slotline resonator leading to a variation of the coupling between the slotline resonator mode and the TE01δ mode of the dielectric resonator. As the consequence the resonance frequency of the TE01δ mode changes. Based on this novel tuning concept discrete tuning by 5 MHz in 0.25 MHz frequency steps was demonstrated for a test resonator at 2 GHz. The unloaded quality factor is about 10.000 and the measured switching time is about one millisecond.","PeriodicalId":13133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2005.","volume":"35 1","pages":"265-268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86899556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pulsed I-V measurements exhibited the common problem of current slump, as did the RF power performance of the device. The RF time-domain waveforms are used to show that the RF knee-walkout increases with drain bias voltage, thus negating any improved power and efficiency performance that a larger voltage swing would achieve. It was also found that the degree of RF knee-walkout changes depending on the class of operation of the device. Although current slump is evident, it is not permanent, and there is negligible degradation of the device after prolonged RF stimulus.","PeriodicalId":13133,"journal":{"name":"IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2005.","volume":"17 1","pages":"4 pp.-"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74010249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
