Abstract: A microwave resonator device including a first resonator member comprised of a dielectric material and a second resonator member comprised of a dielectric material. The second resonator member can be positioned spatially offset from the first resonator member to define a spatial interaction region configured to confine an electromagnetic field in a microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The spatial offset between the first resonator member and the second resonator member defining the spatial interaction region is less than the microwave wavelength associated with a resonant frequency of the microwave resonator device. The microwave resonator device facilitates generation of a resonant field enhancement within the spatial interaction region.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) waveguide comprising a channel, a filter, and a support bridge. The channel can comprise an outer wall defining an inner cavity configured to propagate electromagnetic waves. The filter can be disposed in the inner cavity of the channel and can comprise a perimeter edge and an aperture. The support bridge can comprise a first interface connected to an inner surface of the outer wall at a first location, and a second interface connected to the filter at a position between the perimeter edge and the aperture of the filter to support the filter within the channel. The support bridge can remain in place as connected to the filter, and the filter and waveguide can operate without interference from the support bridge, meaning that the waveguide meets all performance specifications and functions as intended for a particular application even with the support bridge left in place.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a measurement structure for performing measurements of an RF device. The measurement structure includes an aperture in a conductive surface of the RF device and a conductive projecting region projecting into the aperture from a conductive perimeter of the aperture and electrically connected to that conductive perimeter. The aperture has a similar width in all dimensions. A combined shape of the aperture and the conductive projecting region does not possess even rotational symmetry about a point where a signal conductor will be placed on the conductive projecting region in order to conduct RF energy between the measurement structure and an external measurement instrument for performing the measurements. The measurement structure may be used for performing measurements of a multimode resonator, the measurements comprising one or more of resonant frequencies and quality factors of resonant modes of the resonator.

Abstract: The present applications at least describes a method of making a tuned ceramic filter. The method includes printing an oversized pattern of ceramic material on a ceramic filter. The method also include removing, at a first tune location of the ceramic filter, a first amount of the ceramic material using a laser to shrink the oversized pattern. The method also includes comparing a coupling matrix of the ceramic filter after the removing step with a coupling matrix of a prototype of the ceramic filter. The method includes a step of generating a tune vector based upon a difference between the coupling matrix of the ceramic filter and the coupling matrix of the prototype filter. Further, the method includes a step of iteratively modifying the removing of the ceramic material using femto-second laser at the first tune location to have a coefficient of the tune vector corresponding to the first tune location to converge toward zero.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a top conductive layer of on an integrated circuit waveguide filter and a bottom conductive layer. The top and bottom conductive layers are coupled via a plurality of couplers that form an outline of the waveguide filter. A dielectric substrate layer is disposed between the top conductive layer and the bottom conductive layer of the integrated circuit waveguide filter. The dielectric substrate layer has a relative permittivity, εr that affects the tuning of the integrated circuit waveguide filter. At least one tunable via includes a tunable material disposed within the dielectric substrate layer and is coupled to a set of electrodes. The set of electrodes enable a voltage to be applied to the tunable material within the tunable via to change the relative permittivity of the dielectric substrate layer and to enable tuning the frequency characteristics of the integrated circuit waveguide filter.
