                                       Heterostructures. The purpose of this
                                       grant is the acquisition of a 40 GHz
                                       Agilent Vector Network Analyzer for
                                       characterization of electric tunable
                                       microwave/millimeter wave devices based
                                       on ferrite-ferroelectric layered structures.
                                       The acquisition will enhance Oakland
                                       University researchers on two federally
                                       funded projects. Another benefit of the
                                       acquisition includes training for
                                       undergraduate and graduate students in
                                       high frequency measurements, and
                                       collaboration with industry and with
                                       European scientists.

Andrei Slavin                          for Microwave and Millimeter Wave
Department of                          Devices. This research project is aimed
Physics                                at the design, fabrication, and
                                       characterization of microwave signal
                                       processing devices based on novel
                                       multifunctional ferromagnetic-ferroelectric
                                       composites. The composites are of
                                       interest for electric field controlled
                                       steerable antenna systems and phase
                                       shifters. Specific focus will be on
                                       electrically tunable phase shifters
                                       operating at 9-10 GHz. This allocation is
                                       for year two of this project.
