| dc.description.abstract | This work presents the equivalent circuit model, ringing and overshoot characteristics, as
well as the ability of a new magneto-static responsive structure (MRS) to achieve the recon gurabil-
ity of a variable e ective permittivity structure (VEPS). Through the use of a static magnetic eld
and micro-sized conductive magnetic particles, the MRS can be used to connect separate transmis-
sion lines (TL) that operate up to a radio frequency of 5 GHz. The simulated and measured results
show the MRS functions well compared to other switching methods. The VEPS's ability to achieve
e ective permittivity recon gurability is also demonstrated, showing that the VEPS functions as
the well-known mushroom structure when the MRSs are in the on state and as a regular TL when
the MRSs are in the o state. Finally, several brief studies of the MRS are performed, including the
activation methods, MRS geometry, di erent types of magnetic particles, and smaller embedded
MRSs within the VEPS. | en_US |
