Tuneable Electromagnetic Bandgap structures based on Ba/sub 0.25/Sr/sub 0.75/TiO/sub 3/ parallel-plate varactors on silicon Coplanar Waveguides
Paper in proceeding, 2003

Experimental performance of Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structures, based on Coplanar Waveguides (CPW) periodically loaded by high-Q-factor ferroelectric varactors is reported. The varactors are made of Ba/sub 0.25/Sr/sub 0.75/TiO/sub 3/ films grown by laser ablation on thick Pt/Au/Pt electrodes. Due to the thick bottom electrodes the varactors have Q-factor larger than 40 at 45 GHz, which is higher in comparison with semiconductor varactors. Up to 30% tuning of the pass band edge is achieved at -20 dB level under 25V DC bias
