This paper presents radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) filters with extremely high bandwidth widening capability. The proposed filtering topologies include hybrid configurations consisting of piezoelectric MEMS resonators and surface-mounted lumped elements. The MEMS resonators set the center frequency and provide electromechanical coupling to construct the filters, while the lumped-element-based matching networks help widen the bandwidth (BW) and enhance the out-of-band rejection. Aluminum nitride (AlN) S0 Lamb wave resonators are then applied to the proposed filtering topologies. AlN S0 first- and second-order wideband filters are studied and have shown prominent performance. Finally, the AlN S0 first-order wideband filter is experimentally implemented and characterized. The demonstrated first-order filter shows a large fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 5.6% (achieved with a resonator coupling of 0.94%) and a low insertion loss (IL) of 1.84 dB. The extracted bandwidth widening factor (BWF) is 6, which is approximately 12 times higher than those of the current ladder or lattice filtering topologies. This impressive bandwidth widening capability holds great potential for satisfying the stringent BW requirements of bands n77, n78, and n79 of 5G new radio (NR) and will overcome an outstanding technology hurdle in placing 5G NR into the marketplace.

However, it remains uncertain whether neural patterns different from the traditional inherent limbs motor imagery (MI) can be extracted, which is essential for high-dimensional control of external devices. In this work, we established a MI neo-framework consisting of novel supernumerary robotic sixth-finger MI (SRF-MI) and traditional right-hand MI (RH-MI) paradigms and validated the distinctness of EEG response patterns between two MI tasks for the first time.

Deep-blue multi-resonance (MR) emitters with stable and narrow full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) are of great importance for widening the color gamut of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, most planar MR emitters are vulnerable to intermolecular interactions from both the host and guest, causing spectral broadening and exciton quenching in thin films. Their emission in the solid state is environmentally sensitive, and the color purity is often inferior to that in solutions.
