“…Compared with traditional on-chip coil such as inductors or transmission lines, the surface current of SRR is attenuated thanks to the stacked-SRR configuration, in which the electric dipole generated by each SRR is mutually compensated. 39 More details regarding the plasmonic coupler and its metamaterial properties can be found in Liang et al 39 As the oscillator's tank drives the frequency doubler directly, sustaining a large VCO voltage swing becomes imperative in order to completely switch the push-push frequency doubler. Noted that VCO voltage swing is proportional to Q 2 (i.e., Q represents the tan quality factor).…”

SummaryThe research and development on solid‐state source generators have been making progress on chip, aiming to generate low noise, high output power, and high DC‐to‐RF energy efficiency in the millimeter‐wave (mmW) and terahertz (THz) domains. In particular, their full integration in silicon technologies, such as advanced complementary‐metal‐oxide‐semiconductor processes, has motivated the design of low cost, high performance, and miniature integrated circuits (ICs). This manuscript focuses on providing a general overview of recent progress on solid‐state signal source operating beyond 60 GHz till the THz region, from the perspective of operating principle, design metrics, state‐of‐the‐art performance, testing results, and their applications in emerging mmW/THz systems. Finally, with the use of fully integrated source generators, several design arts are highlighted to showcase the recent advances of ICs toward millimeter‐wave and THz radiation, imaging, coupled oscillator network (CON), and communication. Potential future research directions enabled by mmW/THz signal sources will be envisioned.

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and microwave integrated circuits (MICs) have been widely studied, but both of them face the challenge of miniaturization. On one hand, the construction of photonic elements requires spaces proportional to wavelength, and on the other hand, electromagnetic compatibility issues make it challenging to reach high-density layouts for MICs. In this paper, we review the research advances of miniaturized PICs and MICs based on surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). By introducing SPPs, miniaturized photonic elements at subwavelength scales are realized on PICs, which can be used for highly integrated interconnects, biosensors, and visible light wireless communications. For MICs, since the metals behave as perfect conductors rather than plasmonic materials at microwave frequencies, plasmonic metamaterials are proposed to support spoof SPPs. Spoof SPPs possess similar characteristics to SPPs and can be used to realize high-density channels on MICs. Moreover, combining the latest theoretical research on SPPs, future tendencies of SPP-based MICs are discussed as well, including further miniaturization, digitization, and systematization.

“…The most convenient method to control the resonances of SRRs is a time-variant tuning of the capacitance, for example by switching components with different values of capacitance by transistors or pholoelements which work in key-mode and provide so-called on/off-modulation [10][11]. However, topical and quite practical at the present time is the usage of varactor diodes, that is, components which can change their capacitance based on a bias voltage in a defined magnitude range [2].…”

In the paper, an approach to frequency modulation is presented using a split-ring resonator (SRR) loaded by a varactor diode. The modulation occurs due to the continuous time variation of capacitance of the varactor diode via changing of its bias voltage by the signal which is necessary to modulate. The modulation signal is used for bias voltage. As a source of a carrier signal, one more extra magnetic loop antenna is utilized which is coupled with the SRR via near-field interaction. Investigation of two types of signals (harmonic and chaotic) was performed for modulation in the paper. It is shown that it is possibile to provide the frequency modulation with deviation Δfd = ±80 MHz which covers the frequency range 0.95…1.11 GHz for a 1 GHz carrier signal when a SMV1231 varactor diode is used. The major advantages of the suggested approach are the very simple design and ability to easily define the required values of frequency deviation through tuning of the bias voltage magnitude range of the varactor diode. Therefore, the presented investigation and results can be useful in the manufacturing of low-cost radio components.
