研究目的
To overcome the poor amplitude and phase consistency of MEMS phase shifters, which makes them difficult to integrate into phased array antenna systems, by proposing a novel multi-states matching technology.
研究成果
The proposed polymorphic impedance matching technique significantly improves the amplitude and phase consistency of MEMS phase shifters, reducing amplitude fluctuation range from -1.3776 dB to 1.0714 dB to -0.4998749 dB to 0.4940076 dB and phase shift error range from -6.685° to 8.4455° to -3.949° to 2.5128°. This method provides a general approach for enhancing the performance of polymorphic microwave devices in integrated systems, with potential applications beyond MEMS phase shifters.
研究不足
The study is based on simulation results for a 2-bit MEMS phase shifter; experimental validation with physical devices is not covered. The method may require adjustments for higher-bit phase shifters or other polymorphic devices, and the PSO algorithm's efficiency and convergence could be affected by problem complexity.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses microwave network theory to design a polymorphic impedance matching technique for MEMS phase shifters. It involves deriving expressions for transmission characteristics of cascaded networks and employing a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize matching network parameters for improved amplitude and phase consistency.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A 2-bit MEMS phase shifter with four states (0°, -90°, -180°, -270° phase shifts) is used as the research object. S-parameter matrices are measured for each state to characterize the device's polymorphic behavior.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The paper mentions a MEMS phase shifter but does not specify models or brands. Simulation tools for PSO and microwave network synthesis are implied but not detailed.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process includes measuring S-parameters of the MEMS phase shifter, formulating the optimization problem using PSO to find S-parameters for two matching networks, simulating the matched system's performance, and verifying improvements in consistency.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis involves calculating amplitude mean, fluctuations, phase shift errors, and using fitness functions in the PSO algorithm to evaluate and optimize the matching networks' performance.
