A millimeter-wave bandpass waveguide filter using a width-stacked silicon bulk micromachining approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 30-GHz bandpass filter is realized in a novel waveguide topology, through the use of bulk micromachining of standard (low-resistivity) silicon wafers. In this new design, the width of the rectangular waveguide structure is created through the stacking of etched silicon wafer pieces. This width-stacking approach eliminates the presence of convex corners in the design, resulting in more controllable etching. Also, this design enables the simple implementation of the split-block technique, which alleviates Ohmic contact resistance issues. This latter aspect, combined with a double-sided etching strategy that enables deep cavities to be formed, leads to very high-Q silicon micromachined resonators (Q/sub 0//spl ap/4500). A three-cavity bandpass filter was fabricated and tested leading to a deembedded insertion loss of 1dB at a center frequency of 29.7GHz, with a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.654GHz (2.2%). These results validate this new micromachined waveguide approach, and demonstrates a significant improvement over other millimeter-wave micromachined waveguide filters.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
