Patent number: 6411182Abstract: A cavity resonator for reducing the phase noise of microwaves or millimeter waves output from a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) by using silicon (Si) or a compound semiconductor and a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS), and a method for fabricating the cavity resonator are provided. In the cavity resonator, instead of a conventional metal cavity, a cavity, obtained by finely processing silicon or a compound semiconductor, is coupled to a microstrip line to allow the cavity resonator to be adopted in a reflection type voltage controlled oscillator. A pole is provided to connect the edge of the microstrip line to a predetermined location of a cavity lower thin film. A coupling slot is formed by removing a predetermined width of a cavity upper thin film adjacent to the pole which comes in contact with the cavity upper thin film. A resistive thin film for impedance matching is formed around the cavity lower thin film which comes in contact with the pole.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2000Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Cimoo Song, Chungwoo Kim, Seokjin Kang, Insang Song, Yongwoo Kwon, Changyul Cheon

Patent number: 6362706Abstract: There is provided a cavity resonator for reducing the phase noise of electromagnetic waves output from a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) by utilizing a semiconductor (e.g., silicon, GaAs or InP) micro machining technique. In the cavity, instead of an existing metal cavity, a cavity, which is obtained by micro machining silicon or a compound semiconductor, is coupled to a microstrip line to allow the cavity resonator to be adopted in a reflection type voltage controlled oscillator. A coupling slot is formed by removing a predetermined size of the part of an upper ground plane film of a cavity facing to the microstrip line. Consequently, the cavity resonator reduces the phase noise of microwaves or millimeter waves which are output from a voltage controlled oscillator.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2000Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Cimoo Song, Chungwoo Kim, Insang Song, Yongwoo Kwon, Changyul Cheon
