Abstract

Experimental measurements of coplanar waveguide circuits atop thin films of ferroelectric BaxSr1 - xTiO3 (BST) were made as a function ofdc bias from O to 200 Vand frequency from 0.045 to 20 GHz. The resulting phase shifts are compared with method-of-moments electromagnetic simulations and a conformai mapping analysis to determine the dielectric constant of the BST films. The accuracy of the resulting dielectric constants is analyzed and compared to low-frequency measurements of interdigitated capacitor circuits on the same films.
