    The design and fabrication of a novel Bragg reflection-type thin film bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter is investigated in this work. In BAW devices, Y43° lithium niobate single crystal thin film (Y43°-LN) with high electromechanical coupling coefficient was selected as the piezoelectric material and the Benzocyclobutene (BCB) was used as wafer bonding layer. The Y43°-LN monocrystalline thin film with submicron thickness was transferred to the substrate with Bragg reflection layer by the crystal-ion-slicing method. As both the bonding layer and the first low impedance layer of Bragg reflector, BCB is used to prepare the single crystal BAW filter. The third-order BAW filter wwith the central frequency of 2.93 GHz, absolute bandwidth and fractional bandwidth of 247 MHz and 8.4% respectively is designed and fabricated. The results indicate that the high electromechanical coupling coefficient LN single crystal thin film prepared by film transfer technology can realize the preparation of large-bandwidth BAW filter.

    In order to meet the requirements of high frequency, high power, and miniaturization of RF devices, a two-dimensional model of a solidly mounted resonator (SMR) with a resonance frequency of 3.455 GHz was designed using the finite element analysis software COMSOL Multiphysics. The effects of different electrode area (200 μm2, 150 μm2, 100 μm2, 50 μm2, 25 μm2) on the lateral parasitic resonance of the resonator are investigated, and the influences of changes in the top electrode and simultaneous changes in the top and bottom electrodes on the lateral parasitic resonance of the device are compared. The lateral parasitic resonance of the device near the resonance point (3.455 GHz) increases with the reduction of the electrode area. The lateral parasitic resonance of the device is most significant when the electrode area is 25 μm2. When the amount of change in the electrode area is constant, the lateral parasitic resonance caused by simultaneously changing the areas of the top and bottom electrodes is greater than that caused by only changing the top electrode area.

    The ZnO seed layers with different Bi3+-doping concentrations were prepared by Sol-Gel method, and wurtzite structured ZnO nanorods were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum were used to measure and characterize the structure, morphology and optical properties of the samples. The results show that the nano ZnO films grown on the Bi-doped ZnO seed layer with different concentrations has no change in the crystal structure of ZnO, which is hexagonal wurtzite structure, and the peak intensity of (002) crystal surface is significantly higher than that of other crystal surfaces. It was found by FESEM that the hydrothermal growth of nano ZnO films on the seed layer of Bi-doped ZnO with different doping concentration is in the shape of nanorods. The PL spectrum shows that the peak values of near ultraviolet (UV) emission and lattice defect increase obviously with increase of the amount of the Bi-doping, and the red shift phenomenon occurs. The band gap width decreases with the increase of the amount of Bi-doping, which indicates that Bi3+ can effectively adjust the band gap width of ZnO.

    In the structure of bulk acoustic wave (BAW) magnetoelectric antenna, the induced current generated by the magnetic film in the magnetostrictive layer in the high frequency magnetic field will cause eddy current loss, which in turn affects the radiation performance of the antenna. To analyze and suppress the eddy current loss of magnetic thin films, the eddy current loss model of FeGaB magnetic thin film is established by using the finite element simulation method. According to the skin effect of eddy current, the surface eddy current and internal eddy current are discussed. And eddy current suppression is carried out by inserting Al2O3 thin film to isolate the current. Through the comparative analysis of three kinds of Al2O3 film separation methods, the optimal separation methods for the surface eddy current suppression and the internal eddy current suppression are obtained. Considering the influence of the total eddy current, a cross separation method is proposed as the optimal separation method to suppress the eddy current loss. The simulation results show that the total eddy current loss can be suppressed more than 65% by using the proposed method to insert 10 nm Al2O3 thin film into the FeGaB magnetic thin film.

Then a MFC piezoelectric fiber sheet reciprocating bending and swinging test bench based on stepper motor is designed and built, the piezoelectric properties of MFC piezoelectric fiber under different bending angles, bending and swinging speeds, substrates, surface areas and other factors were studied by using the test bench. The results show that the output open-circuit voltage amplitude of MFC piezoelectric fiber increases with the increase of bending angle. When the output voltage amplitude reaches the maximum and the bending angle continues to increase, the output open-circuit voltage amplitude will not change significantly. The output open-circuit voltage amplitude will increase as the surface area of the piezoelectric sheet increase, and the bending swing speed and substrate have no obvious influence on the output open-circuit voltage amplitude.

    An optical terahertz modulator based on graphene/boron nitride 2D heterostructure coated silicon was studied in this paper. The static and dynamic modulation of THz wave were tested respectively with a 808 nm laser by using the terahertz time-domain spectrum system and a terahertz wave dynamic test system independently built by the laboratory. When the laser power is increased from 0 to 500 mW, the average transmittance through the terahertz modulator decreased from 58% to 13% with maximum modulation depth of 76% (500 mW). The maximum modulation speed obtained by the dynamic modulation test is 15 kHz (100 mW). The experimental results show that the modulation depth and speed can be obviously enhanced by graphene/boron nitride 2D hetrostructure in contrast to the single-layer graphene coated silicon.

    The micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope has the advantages of small size, high accuracy and broad application prospect. Due to the different thermal stress and thermal resistance of inertial components, the output of the corresponding sensor will produce temperature hysteresis effect, which seriously affects the zero bias stability of gyroscope. In view of the poor adaptability of the traditional gyroscope temperature error compensation method, this paper proposes a temperature hysteresis zero bias compensation model by using the moving average algorithm (MAA) to compensate the zero deviation of MEMS gyroscope in the full temperature range. The experimental results show that when the working temperature of the gyroscope changes in the range of -30 ℃ to +90 ℃ after compensation, the absolute error of the corresponding zero bias decreases from 0.21 (°)/s to 0.02 (°)/s, and the stability of the zero deviation increases by nearly one order of magnitude.

    A method of frequency invariant near-field broadband beamforming is proposed in this paper. The output signals of a uniform concentric circular array (UCCA) are converted into phase mode signals by using inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT), and a far-field array with frequency invariant response is then approximately achieved by using the near-field correction and frequency compensation network. Therefore, the traditional far-field narrow-band beamforming methods can be extended to the proposed near-field broadband array. The simulation results show that the array response of the near-field broadband array is approximately frequency invariant, and its beam pattern is also similar to that of the far-field narrow-band array.
