Layered Ferroics as Superior Microwave Dielectrics
Penn State MRSEC IRG1-TEAM (Strain-enabled multiferroics), in close collaboration with Cornell MRSEC, U Maryland, NIST and others, has designed and demonstrated the world’s best tunable microwave dielectric to date operating with the highest reported Figure of Merit up to 125GHz. This could result in a new generation of superior electronically tunable microwave filters, antennas, and phase shifters for improved wireless communications using Cellphones and other devices.
