Title: Rahil U Bhorania: Innovator in Acoustic Wave Technology
Introduction
Rahil U Bhorania is a notable inventor based in Redondo Beach, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of surface acoustic wave technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to engineering.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Recessed reflector single phase unidirectional transducer." This invention relates to a new family of surface acoustic wave single-phase unidirectional transducers (SPUDTs). It utilizes M uniform width, uniformly spaced, single-level interdigitated electrodes on a piezoelectric substrate. Unidirectionality is achieved by selectively etching reflective structures into the substrate, either in the spaces between adjacent electrodes or under selected electrodes of the transducer. Additionally, a SAW filter, resonator, or delay line can be formed by fabricating two such transducers on a single substrate, with surface acoustic waves radiating towards each other.
Another significant patent is the "Planar airbridge RF terminal MEMS switch." This invention describes an RF switch and a process for fabricating it, which includes multiple throws and can be made using only a single layer of metallization. The switch features an airbridge suspended beam adjacent to one or more metal traces, with control pads nearby to operate the switch electrostatically. The design simplifies the fabrication process by eliminating multiple metallization layers, allowing for a more efficient and effective switch configuration.
