Abstract :
The characterization of ferroelectric thin-film planar microwave devices using the method of Line (MoL) has been summarized in this paper. Because the permittivity-dc electric field dependence in ferroelectric materials is used to tune microwave devices, it is necessary to develop a suitable analysis method to accurately characterize ferroelectric materials. This paper presents first results of 2D analysis of tunable planar devices.
