In this paper, the effects of both anisotropies in the substrate and superstrate loading on the resonant frequency and bandwidth of high-Tc superconducting circular microstrip patch in a substrate-superstrate configuration are investigated. A rigorous analysis is performed using a dyadic Galerkin’s method in the vector Hankel transform domain. Galerkin’s procedure is employed in the spectral domain where the TM and TE modes of the cylindrical cavity with magnetic side walls are used in the expansion of the disk current. The effect of the superconductivity of the patch is taken into account using the concept of the complex resistive boundary condition. London’s equations and the two-fluid model of Gorter and Casimir are used in the calculation of the complex surface impedance of the superconducting circular disc. The accuracy of the analysis is tested by comparing the computed results with previously published data for several anisotropic substrate-superstrate materials. Good agreement is found among all sets of results. The numerical results obtained show that important errors can be made in the computation of the resonant frequencies and bandwidths of the superconducting resonators when substrate dielectric anisotropy, and/or superstrate anisotropy are ignored. Other theoretical results obtained show that the superconducting circular microstrip patch on anisotropic substrate-superstrate with properly selected permittivity values along the optical and the non-optical axes combined with optimally chosen structural parameters is more advantageous than the one on isotropic substrate-superstrate by exhibiting wider bandwidth characteristic.

In this paper, exhaustive analytical investigation based on analyzing the impact of the self-heating phenomenon on the power GaN HEMT performance is proposed. To do so, analytical models for the drain current, power dissipation and lattice temperature variation are developed in order to evaluate the device reliability against the self-heating effects (SHEs). The transistor thermal stability is systematically investigated with respect to the dependence on the buffer layer doping, mole fraction variation, and layer thickness. In this work, the electrical and thermal performance of power GaN HEMT structure is investigated. Also, device design parameters dependent characteristics on thermal stability and immunity are observed and analyzed. The obtained results provide new insight for bridging the gap between high power performances with thermal stability factor.
