This CMPS design is a recent innovation designed to take advantage of the high tunability and tolerate the high dielectric constant of ferroelectric films at Ku- and K-band frequencies. These devices are envisioned as a component in low-cost steerable beam phased array antennas. Comparisons are made between devices with differing film thickness, annealed vs. unannealed, Mn-doped vs. undoped, and also substrates of LaAlO3 and MgO.}, year = {1999}, journal = {IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest}, volume = {2}, pages = {737-740}, publisher = {IEEE, Piscataway, NJ, United States}, issn = {0149645X}, note = {cited By 37}, language = {eng}, }
