Embodiment Construction

[0034] The present invention forms a coplanar waveguide antenna capable of receiving microwave signals in different frequency bands on a gallium arsenide substrate by changing the shape of the antenna, and controls the change of the antenna shape through a micromechanical capacitive series switch. The coplanar waveguide transmission line There are two resistors connected in parallel at the terminal as microwave load resistors. The load resistors cause the thermopile on the outside to generate heat through heating. The thermopile produces cold and hot nodes due to uneven heating, forming a temperature difference. The two output terminals of the stack generate a DC voltage, which is output by two welding blocks, and the output thermal voltage is proportional to the input microwave power to be measured, and the value of the microwave power can be obtained by measuring this voltage.

[0035] The substrate of the sensor is a gallium arsenide substrate 9, on the gallium arsenide subs...

Abstract

The MEMS reconfigurable broadband microwave power sensor is a sensor that uses a coplanar waveguide antenna to receive microwave power to cause resistance heating, and measures the microwave signal amplitude through a thermopile. The sensor is formed on a gallium arsenide substrate (9) to form a coplanar waveguide antenna (4) working in different frequency bands, and the coplanar waveguide antenna (4) is controlled to work in different frequency bands through a micromechanical capacitive series switch (4). frequency band, the coplanar waveguide antenna (4) is connected to the coplanar waveguide transmission line (5) to transmit microwave signals, and there are two parallel resistors at the end of the coplanar waveguide transmission line (5) as the load resistance (11), and the load resistance (11) The heating causes the heating of the thermopile (6) outside it, and the temperature difference of the thermopile (6) is generated due to the uneven heating, and the temperature difference causes the thermopile (6) to produce the Seebeck effect, and a DC voltage output is generated at both ends , and the output voltage is proportional to the input microwave power to be measured, and the value of the microwave power can be obtained by measuring this voltage.

Description
