Conference paper (2019) - Tao Wu, Ruochen Lu, Anming Gao, Cheng Tu, Tomas Manzaneque, Songbin Gong
This paper presents the design and experimental results of the first chip-scale radio frequency MEMS gyrator based on hybridizing Lorentz-force and piezoelectric transduction. The MEMS gyrator has a non-reciprocal phase response of 180° and can be used as the building blocks for synthesizing complex non-reciprocal networks. The equivalent circuit and measured performance of a fabricated MEMS gyrator are presented, both showing the anticipated 180° phase difference. The demonstration marks the first time that non-reciprocity is attained at radio frequencies with an entirely passive chip-scale mechanical device. Various challenges in achieving strong coupling and low insertion loss for the designed devices will be discussed. ...
