Abstract:
Modern computer technology, communications systems, security and radar systems continue development in the direction of increasing operating frequencies, increasing the degree of integration, reduce cost and power consumption.
Starting from the idea of integration of microwave components and semiconductor technology, it is proposed to carry out research aimed at the creation of hybrid elements in the microwave range, consisting of a metal, ferrite, and semiconductor structural elements.
Major efforts will focus on the implementation of various method of control of microwave structures parameters: the magnetic field, electric field, light, injection of charges and/or spins carriers.
The properties of layered structure composites will be theoretically and numerically calculated. The corresponding composites will be experimentally developed.
Project Idea
The main idea of the project is to study the possible combinations of: well-known microwave transmission lines, methods of a photonic band gaps (PBG) design, ferrites and semiconductors.
Among the microwave transmission lines, will be studied in the project:
— hollow metal waveguide: By inserting in a hollow metallic waveguide an alternating sequence of materials with different dielectric constants, the spectrum of the electromagnetic wave passing through the waveguide obtains a photonic bandgap structure [1-3]. The frequency dependence of the transmission coefficient is a sequence of alternating bands of almost total transmission and a significant (with levels of -30 ÷ -40 dB) losses.
— planar transmission lines (coplanar, microstrip, etc.): Design of the photonic band gap in a planar microwave transmission line also leads to a change of the transmission spectrum of the structure. [4-6]. The creation of regular periodic irregularities in the planar transmission line (for example, a periodic modulation of the width of the top signal layer for the case of microstrip line) leads to the transmission spectrum with PBG. By modifying the design of the planar waveguide with PBG electromagnetic power can be concentrated in the particular point of the waveguide and to a certain narrow frequency band [6-8]. In the literature, this effect is called the microwave Tamm state.
— left-handed metamaterials: Composite electrodynamics media, in which an effective permittivity and a permeability are negative. Such media can be designed for the hollow metal waveguides [9, 10], shaped as a planar transmission lines.
The implementing into design of microwave transmission line (the hollow metal waveguide, planar waveguide) with PBG and left-hand metamaterial elements of the magnetodielectric can quickly (by applying an external magnetic field) to control the transmittance of a planar waveguide [6].
A special feature of this Project is the task of development of such a PBG waveguide structure, in which will be included magnetodielectrics and/or semiconductors elements.
By analogy with magnetic inclusions semiconductor elements allow to quickly change the transmittance of planar waveguides by applying an electrical voltage, light irradiation.
The combination of these approaches can enable the creation of highly integrated elements of the microwave range based on present technology of semiconductor elements manufacturing. The presence in the design elements of the ferrites and semiconductors, the implementation of design decisions that led to the formation of photonic band
The layered thin film structures will be developed and fabricated be means of electro-chemical, plasma and vacuum technologies.
The corresponding theoretical and numerical calculations of the electrodynamics properties of such materials will be carried out.

Scientific novelty:
In the course of the research will be developed and investigated the design of microwave hybrid structures with controlled S-parameters. Design of microwave planar waveguides, with the inclusion of the component parts of the ferrites and/or semiconductors will be developed. The presence of inclusions of magnetic material and the semiconductor will create controlled microwave elements. However, their S-parameters can be quickly controlled (changed under the influence) of the magnetic and electric fields, light.
The main objective of development is to create the most miniature and effectively controlled microwave planar elements.
The theoretical methodology for the corresponding structures properties analysis will be developed.
