Thick-film barium-strontium-titanate varactors package-integrated with GaN HEMTs are high-efficiency
and robust tunable devices that enable frequency agility and efficiency optimization. The tunable
transistors presented here achieve 44.4 dBm output power, a peak PAE of 77% and a PAE configurability
of 5.6 percentage points. Tunability in saturation remains almost constant for temperature and
frequency sweeps from 20 to 80◦ C and 1.5 to 2.45 GHz, respectively. LTE and WCDMA measurements
of the modules used in a power amplifier show good linearity results with -45 dBc ACLR for signals
with a high peak-to-average power ratio of 9 dB, no degradation due to the varactors is observed.

GaN Varactors
Authors:
Raul Amirpour, Sebastian Krause, Rüdiger Quay, Oliver Ambacher, Fraunhofer IAF, Germany
Page 5 – 8
Abstract:
This paper gives a first presentation of a dynamic load modulated (DLM) power amplifier (PA)
employing novel AlGaN/GaN varactors. With an AlGaN/GaN HEMT this enables the highest operating
frequency ever presented for a varactor-based GaN DLM PA. Despite the low drain-source voltage of
10V, making the PA suitable for mobile applications, it shows a high drain efficiency of 61% at a
maximum output power of 24dBm. At 6dB output power back-off the PA still reaches 45% efficiency.
The achieved results demonstrate the promising potential of AlGaN/GaN varactors, and show the
usability of AlGaN/GaN HEMT at low voltages.

Page 9 – 12
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel band-limited digital predistortion (BL-DPD) with band-switching feedback
architecture and update procedure for linearization of a wideband 5G mmWave power amplifier (PA). In
the proposed BL-DPD, inside and outside of original input signal band in PA output are acquired
alternately. This is done while keeping ADC bandwidth same as original input signal bandwidth, thus,
avoiding increase in cost and energy consumption. It is demonstrated that the proposed BL-DPD
achieves ACLR of -43.6/-42 dBc and EVM < 3% for Watt-class PA operating on a 256 QAM modulated 26
GHz OFDM signal with bandwidth of 800 MHz.

Authors:
Shinichi Tanaka, Tomoya Oda, Kento Saiki, Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan
Page 13 – 16
Abstract:
The next generation mobile communication systems impose challenging performance, size and cost
requirements on the power amplifiers. This paper presents novel DC-biasing circuits, which are
compact and yet can control the harmonics almost arbitrarily, thereby allowing to save the space for
additional harmonic tuning circuit. The proposed circuit consists of a composite right-/left-handed
(CRLH) transmission line (TL) stub, of which the size and harmonic-control function can be tuned by
modifying the dispersion diagram of the stub line. As a proof of concept, a compact 2-GHz 5-W GaN
HEMT class-F PA using the versatile CRLH-TL stubs was fabricated, demonstrating 85% drain efficiency
and 76% power-added efficiency.

Abstract:
This paper describes a load compensation network in an outphasing system, realized using series
transmission lines instead of conventional shunt reactive components. In particular, it is shown that
using transmission lines of different lengths, here referred as Offset Transmission Lines (OTL), can
provide load compensation effects at the intrinsic plane of a real device, close to those proposed by
Chireix when using shunt reactance in an ideal case. The concept is analysed and demonstrated using a
dedicated outphasing circuit, based on GaN HEMT packaged devices. At 2 GHz, the prototype amplifier
maintains an efficiency greater than 50% over an output power back-off range in excess of 8 dB. Drain
efficiencies of more than 65% and 40% are maintained over 5.5dB and 10dB output power ranges
respectively, while achieving a maximum combined output power of 44.5 dBm.

Indy Magnus, Yves Rolain, Gerd Vandersteen, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
Page 29 – 32
Abstract:
The state of the art in Vector Network Analyzer calibrations shows the existence of a separate
calibration method and algorithm for each possible combination of standards used during the
calibration. In this work, we propose a single, unified calibration framework that can handle most
current calibrations using one framework and one algorithm only. The method uses raw wave
measurements only, which enables the integration of any potential calibration element and a
subsequent power and/or phase calibration as is required for nonlinear VNA measurements.

Abstract:
A three-port nonlinear characterization system for 5G Envelope Tracking Power Amplifiers (ET PAs) is
presented in this paper. The system allows measurement of wideband injected and reflected Radio
Frequency (RF) power waves calibrated at the reference planes of the Device Under Test (DUT). A third
calibrated port for wideband voltage and current measurements of the supply modulated Low
Frequency (LF) port is established to obtain a complete three-port data-set for characterization and
modeling of ET PAs. Measurements of a multi-tone signal with 2 MHz instantaneous bandwidth, on a
state-of-the-art ET PA with Class-G, i.e. discrete level supply modulation, are reported as an example of
the capabilities of the presented measurement platform.

Abstract:
This paper describes millimetre wave (mmW) on-wafer power detection using dedicated high frequency
diode junction with a cut-off frequency (fc) of 400 GHz, integrated in SiGe BiCMOS 55 nm technology
from STMicroelectronics. This extraction was performed in order to develop fully integrated power
detection for transistor or MMIC large signal characterisation on mmW frequency range above 110
GHz. The power detection is performed by biasing the diode in its forward regime. That allows us to
obtain an adjustable voltage responsivity (γ) between 426 V/W and 3836 V/W at 320 GHz on the
unmatched diode. In this configuration the corresponding dynamic range can be adjusted depending
upon the configuration.

Abstract:
In this paper, a compact tunable Wilkinson power divider is presented with a simple structure. T-type
structure replaced a quarter-wave transmission line for compact circuit and tunable function, where
T-type structure only includes three varactors and one stub. Design parameters are newly derived from
even- and odd-mode analysis. Both characteristic impedance and its electrical length of the stubs could
determine a tuning frequency range independently. Therefore, by selecting these two different
parameters, various tuning frequency ranges can be realized. One experimental circuit was fabricated,
and measured results show a good tuning range with good Wilkinson power divider performance.

Abstract:
Tunable power dividers are a key-component for adaptive arrays employing full beam synthesis. Here,
the concept of a tunable reflection-type power divider is presented, which utilizes the edge slope of a
tunable filter. In this work, the filter’s transmission and reflection are separated by a hybrid coupler
circuit. Design equations are derived on basis of a Butterworth prototype function and a
proof-of-concept demonstrator is realized for 12 GHz. The tunable filter is implemented by liquid
crystal. The measurement proofs the functionality of the presented concept, achieving a dynamic
range of 9 dB for both output branches. To the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first time, such a
concept is presented.

High Performance 3dB Coupler (Hybrid) with Broadband Flat

Amplitude Characteristics
Authors:
Uwe Rosenberg 1 , Petronilo Martín-Iglesias 2

Mician Global Engineering, Germany; 2 ESA-ESTEC, The Netherlands
Page 49 – 52
Abstract:
A new broadband 3dB waveguide coupler (hybrid) design is introduced, providing high performance,
with extreme low amplitude variations of the semi signal portions. The basic principle relies on a
dual-polarized waveguide section with propagating linear and circular polarized modes. The ends of
the section are connected to the common ports of an OrthoMode Transducer (OMT) and a polarizer,
respectively.
Signals fed to one of the OMT ports pass the central waveguide section with the related linear
polarization, while signals supplied to the polarizer ports exhibit circular polarization. Thus, the linear
polarized signals are spilt by the polarizer into 3dB portions occurring at the respective ports; the OMT
couples 3dB portions of the circular polarized signals to its ports.
This solution is validated by a hybrid design at 11.7GHz, which comprise a compact OMT and a septum
polarizer. The obtained results demonstrate high performance with flat amplitude responses over 18%
bandwidth, while allowing the basic realization of the complete design with state-of-the-art
manufacturing methods. Based on this novel hybrid a 4×4 Butler matrix is introduced to demonstrate
the feasibility of power distribution with flat amplitude characteristics.

Design of a SIW Based Hybrid Ring Coupler with Arbitrary Power

Splitting Ratio Using Gaussian Process Regression
Authors:
Karthik Thothathri Chandrasekaran, Arokiaswami Alphones, Muhammad Faeyz Karim, NTU, Singapore
Page 53 – 56
Abstract:
In this paper, the design of a Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) based hybrid ring coupler with
arbitrary power splitting ratio employing a Gaussian Progress Regression (GPR) approach is proposed.
Arbitrary power splitting is achieved by introducing gradients in permittivity across various sections of
the coupler. The gradients in permittivity are achieved by introducing a series of air-holes with
appropriate radius and gap. A probabilistic hypothesis for the radius of the air-holes as a function of
the required effective permittivity, dielectric constant of the substrate and the gap between the
air-holes is derived and proposed using GPR. Hybrid ring couplers with a power splitting ratio of unity,
two and four operating in the X-band are designed, simulated, fabricated, and tested using the
stipulated design procedure. The designed hybrid ring couplers have an operating bandwidth
extending from 9.2GHz to 10.2GHz with a matching>10dB , isolation>15dB and a phase imbalance of
±15◦ . The measured splitting ratio for the three couplers are 0dB, 3dB and 6dB respectively with an
error of ±0.5 dB. The measured results for the couplers validate the proposed design procedure.

Arbitrary Terminated Coupler with Tunable Negative and Positive

Group Delay Responses
Authors:
Girdhari Chaudhary, Phanam Pech, Phirun Kim, Yongchae Jeong, Chonbuk National University, Korea
Page 57 – 60
Abstract:
This paper presents a design of arbitrarily terminated coupler with tunable negative group delay (NGD)
response and power division ratio. The proposed coupler provides tunable NGD through port 3 and 1
whereas positive group delay (PGD) through port 2 and 1. The analytical analysis shows that the power
division ratio and NGD are controlled by a junction resistance of parasitic compensated PIN diode.
Perfect matching and infinite isolation are obtained at the center frequency (f0 ). The proposed coupler
is validated by fabricating circuit at f0 = 2.14 GHz. Measurement results are well agreed with simulated
and predicted results. The experimental results show that NGD is varied from -0.2 to -1.3 ns with NGD
fractional bandwidth (bandwidth of GD < 0) of 21.14% to 15.88%.

Abstract:
A new bandpass three-dimensional frequency-selective surface (3-D FSS) based on the square coaxial
waveguide (SCW) with wide stopband is proposed. By utilizing parallel-plate waveguide (PPW) as
foundation of one propagation path in the unit cell, two transmission poles can be generated, resulting
in a passband. Multiple transmission zeros are obtained by counteraction between paths based on
SCWs and reflection in all paths. For this property, a wide stopband is generated for good frequency
selectivity. The E-field analysis is presented to offer operating principle of the proposed 3-D FSS. The
simulated results exhibit high frequency selectivity, dual polarizations and stable response
characteristics under a variation of the incidence angle.

Abstract:
The minimum phase shift error of switchable-channel phase shifters on right-handed (RH) and
left-handed (LH) transmission lines (TLs) is theoretically evaluated by using models of the ideal RH and
LH TLs. Difference in frequency characteristics of the ideal TLs and their artificial counterparts
consisting of lumped inductors and capacitors is discussed.

Slow-Wave Artificial Transmission Lines Based on Stepped Impedance

Shunt Stub (SISS) Loading: Analysis and Stopband Bandwidth
Enhancement
Authors:
Jan Coromina, Jordi Selga, Paris Vélez, Jordi Bonache, Ferran Martín, Universitat Autònoma de
Barcelona, Spain
Page 69 – 72
Abstract:
This paper is focused on the analysis of slow-wave transmission lines implemented by periodic loading
a host microstrip line with stepped impedance shunt stubs (SISS). Due to SISS-loading, two main effects
arise: (i) the phase velocity of the artificial line is reduced, due to the enhancement of the effective
capacitance of the line (slow wave effect); (ii) owing to periodicity, stop bands and pass bands in the
frequency response appear (Bragg effect). Therefore, these SISS-loaded lines are useful for size
reduction and spurious/harmonic suppression in microwave circuits. For design purposes, an accurate
circuit of these lines, able to provide the parameters of the host line and SISS (i.e., characteristic
impedances and electrical lengths) at the operational frequency, is required. With such circuit, it is also
possible to optimize the bandwidth of the first stop band, relevant for spurious/harmonic suppression
in microwave circuits based on these artificial lines. This latter aspect constitutes the main original
contribution of this paper. The design, fabrication and characterization of a SISS-loaded slow-wave
transmission line with roughly 43% length reduction, as compared to the equivalent ordinary
counterpart, and exhibiting a wide stop band, are reported as an illustrative example.

A Microfluidic-Based Reflective-Type 1-Bit Terahertz Digital

Metamaterial

F.-J. Hu, P. Song, H.-F. Liu, L.-C. Tu, HUST, China
Page 73 – 76
Abstract:
Coding and digital metamaterials have been used as a powerful tool to manipulate electromagnetic
waves. In this paper, a reflective-type 1-bit terahertz digital metamaterial based on a microfluidic
system is proposed and numerically validated. The unit cell consists of a Ω-shape structure formed by
the microfluidic channel. With careful design, a 180◦ reflection phase difference at 0.3 THz can be
obtained by pumping liquid metals into micro-sized channels. This effectively changes the digital
states at the unit cell level, transforming the ‘0’ element into the ‘1’ state. THz digital metamaterials
(DMs) thus can be realised by performing different coding sequences. Microfluidic-based THz DMs are
expected to serve as a versatile platform for realising different functionalities using a single
reconfigurable device.

Abstract:
Periodic structures have proved to be useful for the practical design of waveguide filters. Starting from
the dispersion diagram of a unit cell, it is possible to generate a finite structure with very similar pass-
and stop-bands (gaps). In this work, the design of a band-pass filter, based on an Electromagnetic
Band-Gap (EBG) waveguide in SIW technology periodically perforated with rectangular holes, is
successfully addressed. The effect of the dimensions of the rectangular perforations in the different
characteristics of the filter (lower cutoff frequency, and center frequency and bandwidth of the
rejection-band) is analyzed through the dispersion diagram of the infinitely periodic structure with
different unit cells. Additionally, the number of periodic cells in the finite implementation of the filter
is shown to be directly related to the depth of the rejection band, and also to the number of poles of
the filter.

Abstract:
In this paper, the author would like to provide a quick review of the evolution of synthesized
transmission lines over past two decades. Its conventional role is merely for miniaturizing the size of
microwave components, probably with some added-on functionalities. Nevertheless, recent progress
over the past decade reveals the fact that the synthesized transmission line can fulfil versatile roles
than most researchers originally expected. These new findings will be briefly summarized in this
presentation.

Abstract:
This paper presents the design of dielectric loaded waveguide filters with wide spurious free
bandwidth. Resonators loaded with non-uniform width ceramic blocks are used to spread out the
higher order spurious resonances along with the silver plated hole/ridged ceramic blocks in I/O
resonators to reduce the overall size of the filter. The proposed designs demonstrate 2.44 times fo
spurious free bandwidth. Simulated results for a six pole Chebyshev non-uniform width ceramic blocks

Abstract:
In this work, a novel topology for the coaxial excitation of band-pass inductive waveguide filters is
presented. The proposed solution, which is based on the use of a new dual-mode resonator, provides
us with a very compact design compared to the classical topology of this type of filters. Furthermore,
this novel resonator produces a transmission zero in the upper side of the filter pass-band, thus
improving the response selectivity. For verification purposes, a compact 5-pole band-pass filter has
been successfully designed using a systematic procedure. An equivalent circuit model, based on
lumped and distributed elements, is also derived in order to ensure a rigorous design process of the
considered filter topology.

total of 4 dual-mode TM cavities. Dimensions are 43×45×47mm3 , mass is 110g and the Insertion Loss
is below 0.35dB in the passband. Measurements show good correlation with the design.

Page 97 – 100
Abstract:
The microwave breakdown threshold is one of the key factors when consider the power capacity of a
cavity filter. In this paper, we analyzed theoretically how the air breaks down between the pin to plate
electrodes firstly, and then two essential judgment conditions for breakdown were put forward. One is
that the maximum electric field must reach to the breakdown threshold to produce plasma and another
is that the average electric field is strong enough to support the charged particle evolve a short stream
path between two electrodes. According to two judgment conditions, we made failure analysis of the
continuous microwave air breakdown for cavity filter with redundant substance which varying with
diameter, length, and rotation angle. It is found that the greater length and smaller diameter the
reminder, the formation of breakdown occurs more easily. So, suggestion for quality test standard is
concluded that the length of the redundant substance must be smaller than 0.63mm at a 20dBm
continuous microwave input.

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel resonator realized by chamfering the edges of a square cavity, and the high
quality factor (Q) TE011 mode can be separate from its degenerate TM111 mode. Detailed analysis of the
coupling mechanisms among the resonators is demonstrated, which can conveniently achieve
complicated transfer functions. Based on the typical specification of Ka-band input multiplexer (IMUX),
two channel filters utilizing the novel resonator are designed and fabricated with 60MHz bandwidth
centers on 20GHz and 20.3GHz respectively. The measured responses show excellent agreement with
the simulation. Average realizable unloaded Q of 10500 can be achieved.

EuMC07 : Special Session: 20th Anniversary of the European Microwave Week 1 of 6
The Years Before the European Microwave Week

Author:
Andrew F. Wilson, EuMA, Belgium
Page 105
Abstract:
The first European Microwave Conference (EuMC) began in London in 1969. Its success led quickly to a
second conference and a tentative series. After events in Stockholm and Brussels the series was
formalised and an infrastructure was put in place to plan future dates. It was decided to run an annual
conference, moving between European cities, with an associated exhibition. This was organised by
Microwave Exhibitions and Publishers Ltd (MEPL) and led to MEPL being asked to become the
professional conference organiser for the series. By 1974 the event series was under the control of a
Management Committee comprising one member from each of the eleven main European countries.
The Institution of Electrical Engineers provided secretarial support from the start and then an
Honorary Secretary for the EuMC Management Committee.

Abstract:
This presentation includes description of the last “stand alone” European Microwave Conference, which
took place in Jerusalem, Israel in September 1997. In the following year the first “European Microwave
Week” took place in Amsterdam. The 1997 conference was unique in several aspects, and was strongly
affected by the circumstances leading to the creation of the European Microwave Association. By 1997
EuMA was almost created and it took over the conference from various private companies, which
carried the financial responsibility in earlier years. The result was that on that year the newly created
EuMA was almost with no financial assets, and could not take financial responsibility for organizing the
conference. During the 1997 event Prof. Andre van der Vorst presented to the management committee
the statutes of the new association, which were debated, and eventually approved. Thus EuMA was
officially created.

Abstract:
In Bologna 1995, it was observed that the European Microwave Conference (EuMC) attendance was
decreasing from year to year, slowly but steadily. R. Sorrentino, member of the Management
Committee at that time, asked A. Vander Vorst to participate to the meetings. An alternative came up:
should we stop EuMC, or renovate it? The Management Committee established a working group
composed of F. Landstorfer (Chair Stuttgart 1991), A. Madjar (Chair-to-be Jerusalem 1997), A. Räisänen
(Chair Helsinki 1992), A. Vander Vorst (Chair Liège 1984), and A. F. Wilson, Honorary Secretary. The
group met in London in 1996 and made proposals for renovation; key decisions were taken in Prague
1996, implementation started in Jerusalem 1997 and transformation was completed in 1998, with the
first European Microwave Week (EuMW) in Amsterdam and the formal founding of the European
Microwave Association (EuMA) as well.

Abstract:
A design of a broadband probe-type waveguide-to-microstrip transition operating in the 26–30.5 GHz
band is presented. The transition is based on a combination of a simple low-profile waveguide adapter
with the WR28 flange and a PCB containing a printed probe, a microstrip line and a short Substrate
Integrated Waveguide (SIW) section in-between that is used for impedance matching improvement. The
transition is formed only on the top dielectric layer of a multilayer hybrid PCB which consists of a high
frequency material Rogers RO4350B with the thickness of 0.168 mm and four layers of traditional
low-frequency and low-cost FR4 material. Performance of the designed transition was optimized using
full-wave electromagnetic simulations and experimentally verified on two back-to-back test structures
each containing two designed transitions separated by a microstrip line with the length of 20 and 30
mm. Measurement results show that the designed waveguide-to-microstrip transition has the
bandwidth of 26–30.5 GHz for the -15 dB level of the reflection coefficient with the insertion loss less
than 0.8 dB.

Abstract:
In this paper, a vertical transition from substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) to rectangular waveguide
(RWG) in a single layer thin substrate PCB with thick metal cladding is proposed. A dual resonance
cavity in SIW and a stepped impedance transformer in the RWG allow matching of more than 25% of
relative bandwidth at 94 GHz center frequency. 3D-electromagnetic simulations are used for
optimization and compared to measured results to confirm the results and the functionality of the
transition. Within the measured frequency range of 82 to 107 GHz, the single transitions measurement
results show less than 0.7 dB insertion loss and more than 12 dB return loss.

Abstract:
In this paper, novel compact bent transformers embedding routing capability in waveguide structures
are presented. The new design technique proposed in this paper allows the designers to obtain a
maximum of N3 -1 bent alternatives for a given N-order in-line transformer. It is accomplished by
means of mimicking the local reflection coefficients in magnitude and phase of each discontinuity with
the targeted one. The novel design procedure has been proved trough the design and simulation of a
Ku-band 90◦ -bent transformer between WR75 standard input port and a reduced-height output port.
The novel structure achieves more than 50%-footprint reduction in comparison with its classical
counterpart.

Abstract:
This paper presents the measured results of a 64×64-way one-body two-dimensional beam-switching
Butler matrix using hollow waveguide structure at 19.55 GHz. The one-body two-dimensional switching
matrix is realized by introducing the waveguide short-slot 2-plane couplers as hybrid and cross
junctions. The 64 beams can cover 39.5% hemisphere by 0.65-wavelength aperture spacing in
simulation. The measured beam coverage is almost the same to the simulated one.

Abstract:
Demands on high-throughput communication for airplanes and ships through a high-throughput
satellite using the Ka-band have increased. In Ka-band satellite communication, a multi-feeds per beam
system that consists of a reflector and multiple primary feeds is widely used. A compact beam-forming
network (BFN) is required in this system. We propose a compact BFN with three-way power dividers in
this paper, consisting of a rate-race coupler and a branch-line coupler. We fabricated a 20 GHz-band
multilayer flangeless 16-beam-forming network. As a result, the measurement and the simulated
results are generally in good agreement. The BFN size is 200 (L) mm × 260 (W) mm × 150 (H) mm, and
the weight is 7kg. Therefore, the compact BFN having good characteristics are realized.

Page 133 – 136
Abstract:
A new blazed metasurface grating for circularly polarized (CP) incident wave operating at 10 GHz is
proposed. Such a structure can provide strong auto-collimation for the CP incident wave. Unlike the
conventional scatterer, which typically reverses the handedness of the incident CP wave upon
reflection, the proposed grating can preserve the handedness. The auto-collimation blazing effect and
handedness preservation are achieved by a specially designed reactive impedance surface, which allows
independent response controls to transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations.
The proposed idea is demonstrated by simulations and verified by experiments. Comparisons with
conventional sawtooth grating are made through measurements.

Abstract:
A semi-analytical method to design multilayer meander-line polarizers is described in this paper. The
proposed procedure consists of a combination of the transmission line equivalent circuit and a
Simulated Annealing Algorithm to estimate the best values of the dimensions of the polarizer. A
wideband four layers’ meander-line polarizer [6–18 GHz] is studied. Patch antenna resonating at
different frequencies is associated to the polarizer to validate it. The results verify that the proposed
multilayer meander-line polarizer convert the Linear wave to Circular one.

Technology, China
Page 141 – 144
Abstract:
Full control of electromagnetic (EM) wave is an important and tough issue for electromagnetism.
Recently, Huygens metasurface is proposed to manipulate the propagation of EM wave with a relatively
high efficiency. Huygens metasurface can be regarded as a two-dimensional array composed of crossed
magnetic and electric dipoles which can generate specific electromagnetic response. By elaborately
designing of these dipoles in each metaatom, the desired surface electric and magnetic current can be
achieved. The surface current can manipulate the scattered electric and magnetic field distribution
above and below the metasurface indirectly according to the boundary condition. Then, full
manipulation of the amplitude and phase for the transmitted wave can be achieved with the variation
of shape parameters. Based on the proposed transmission-type Huygens metaatoms, multi-focus
imaging metalenses are realized by arranging each metaatom with the calculated transmission phase.
Our design provides potential applications in microwave antenna and imaging systems.

Abstract:
The study of classical analogues of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) or of its dual
counterpart, electromagnetically induced reflection (EIR), has attracted the interest of many
researchers in the field of optics and microwaves in recent years. Apart from the theoretical interest of
the phenomenon, this effect has potential applications in practical systems demanding narrow band,
slow light propagation and high non-linearity. The physical mechanism behind this phenomenon can
be interpreted in terms of a coupled resonators system, which can be implemented by means of
coupled resonant LC circuits. In this work we propose an extremely simple periodic electromagnetic
system exhibiting EIR and a Foster-like circuit model involving uncoupled resonators accounting for
the fundamental resonances of the electromagnetic structure. The specific unit cell treated in this
contribution consists of three identical coupled slits made in a thin conducting plate. The features of
the transmission band and the induced narrow transmission dips are easily explained in terms of the
values of the parameters of the equivalent Foster-like circuit. Some rules for tailoring the location of
the transmission dip and the bandwidth of the passband where the dip is located are given. The results
obtained with the circuit model are validated by proper comparison with simulations carried out by
using a commercial electromagnetic solver.

Circuital Analysis of Full-Metal Polarisers Based on 3D Unit-Cells

María García-Vigueras, Carlos Molero, IETR (UMR 6164), France
Page 149 – 152
Abstract:
Polarising screens based on the use of fully metallic three-dimensional unit-cells are here reported.
Two type of cells are proposed to build the doubly-periodic architecture, the second one allowing for
an extended axial-ratio bandwidth. Both unit-cells are based on the use of metallic waveguide sections
operating well below cutoff. In spite of being reactive, total transmission through the cells is possible
thanks to the perforation of several resonators in the structure. These perforations allow, additionally,
to tune the phase of the outgoing wave and to generate a circularly polarised signal from a 45◦ -slant
linearly polarised impinging one. Equivalent circuit models are proposed in each case to understand
the cells behavior and to help in the design of two polarisers operating around 20 GHz and providing
good axial-ratio performance.

Modal Dispersion Reduction in Multi-Mode Circular Dielectric

Waveguides at W-Band Frequencies
Authors:
Andre Meyer, Bekir Turan, Martin Schneider, Universität Bremen, Germany
Page 154 – 157
Abstract:
In multi-gigabit communication links using dielectric waveguides (DWGs) dispersion is a common
cause of disturbances. The waveguide dispersion in circular dielectric waveguides can be minimized by
a certain outer diameter for circular waveguides or a certain combination of inner and outer diameter
of circular-hollow waveguides. A main disadvantage of using such waveguide-dispersion-optimized
DWGs is their multi-mode guiding. In case that higher order modes are excited at the feeding transition
or along the DWG, modal dispersion occurs and may reduce the data rate due to inter-symbol
interference. In this paper a mode filter concept is presented that reduces the power of excited higher
modes in circular multi-mode dielectric waveguides. The functionality of the filter is investigated and
optimized by simulation. Finally, three different filter types are fabricated and the reduction of modal
dispersion is verified by an impulse response analysis.

Abstract:
A shape optimization technique is proposed for the optimal design of microwave components and

applied to the boundary of cylindrical posts placed in metallic cavities of a two-pole microwave filter.
The first objective is to demonstrate the efficiency of the method for attaining an ideal transfer
function using a small set of design variables.

Abstract:
This paper presents a new design for size reduction of empty substrate integrated coaxial lines
(ESICLs). The size enhancement is obtained by using improved impedance inverter arrangements.
Taking advantage of the multilayer nature of the ESICL, a compact version of the inverters have been
developed. The performance of the proposed inverter has been experimentally validated with a
working prototype in Ku-band. A fifth-order 0.01-dB ripple Chebyshev filter operating at 13 GHz has
been manufactured and measured. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with simulated
predictions, confirming thus the advantages of the new proposed compact inverter design. The total
length of the filter structure can be reduced by 17.75% if the compact impedance inverted is employed.

equations for determination of component values are derived and a comparison between different

Abstract:
This paper reports a microwave power transmission system for charging multiple devices using a
64-channel phased array based on the space-time beamforming algorithm. The proposed algorithm
switches multiple retrodirective beams in optimal time intervals based on DC receiving power
information so that the required energies of all devices are satisfied in a minimum time. Measured
results exhibit the advantages of the proposed method under practical hardware constraints: (i) 40-fold
faster time than a max-min method to satisfy the requirements, and (ii) high total receiving power
comparable with a max-sum method with 2.2 dB margin.

Abstract:
A directional backscatter tag is proposed to enhance the range of backscattering communications. The
tag uses multiple antennas acting as a reflectarray by configuring constant phase gradients depending
on the direction of arrival (DoA) of the signal. The DoA is determined using RSSI measurements across
different tag reflection configuration. As a proof of concept, a directional backscatter tag using a 3×3
antenna array is implemented. It provides a 19dB sensitivity enhancement resulting in an up to 3×
increase in range compared to backscatter communications with a single antenna tag.

Abstract:
Wireless-power transfer (WPT) has emerged as an important power delivery solution for many systems.
In many of these systems, communication is equally important, but has typically been achieved
through a non-WPT channel due to the historically low data rates of WPT channels. In this work, we
demonstrate that WPT channels can support very high data rates through an experimental prototype
that achieves an effective 50% fractional bandwidth of 6.78 Mbps on a 13.56 MHz carrier. This data rate
is sufficient to stream high-definition (HD) video across a WPT link.

Abstract:
In this paper a resonant inductive wireless power transfer link using two relay resonators is analyzed.
The network formalism is adopted to model the link and standard gain functions are used to describe
the two-port network performance. The case where the load and the source are given and the goal is to
find the optimal parameters of the link is solved. Analytical expressions are derived and validated
through circuital simulations. It is demonstrated that by acting on the couplings of the relay elements
with the transmitting and the receiving resonators it is possible to maximize all the three gains (power,
available and transducer gains).

Abstract:
This paper presents a technique to efficiently transfer power to devices regardless of their angle and
position by using multi-coil transmitter with magnetic resonance coupling. The magnetic field at
receiver coil can be arbitrary controlled by changing the phase of transmitter switching signal. The
optimum phase can be determined by reversely transmitting signal from receiver to transmitter and
detecting the phase of induced voltage of each transmitter coil. The effectiveness of proposed
technique is demonstrated by electro-magnetic field simulation and measurements.

Abstract:
Precise knowledge of electrical properties of materials are a necessary input to any circuit design. As
applications at millimeter-wave frequencies increase, there is a need to develop new materials with low
loss and multiple functionalities. Most material characterization techniques are destructive to the
original sample. For example, most resonant cavity techniques require a sample to be diced into a
sub-millimeter geometry. Alternatively, broadband on-wafer techniques require lithographically
patterned devices on the material under test. Here, we demonstrate a technique that combines
on-wafer calibration with a flip-chip transmission-line test fixture. This single-transmission-line fixture
enables quantitative measurement of effective permittivity from 40 kHz to 110 GHz. The resulting
materials characterization approach is non-destructive and directly applicable to measurements of
dielectric, magnetic, and nonlinear properties. The broad applicability of the technique makes it
well-suited for characterizing the next generation of materials, including tunable materials and
complex structural composites.

Abstract:
On-wafer measurements at microwave and mm-wave frequencies require reliable calibration processes
to deduct unwanted effects such as the impact of probe, the wafer environment, and the
instrumentation equipment itself. However, with increasing frequencies the calibrated results become
more and more sensitive to parasitic effects such as radiation, multi-mode propagation, and substrate
modes. This paper investigates their influence when using a typical coplanar waveguide (CPW)
calibration substrate at G band. The goal of this paper is to clarify the role of substrate modes and to
quantify how they affect multiline Thru-Reflect Line (mTRL) calibration.

Page 198 – 201
Abstract:
Material characterization for 5G radio use is vital, because much lighter imperfections than previously
can affect radio performance. One of the material types to be characterized are dielectrics. In this
paper we propose a way to use absorbers to suppress unwanted test system resonances for circular
disk test method of dielectrics. The findings are based on measurements and simulations. Absorbers
enable that the method can be applied from telecommunications bands around 2GHz up to 50GHz and
with more than twenty resonance modes while in other sources this is typically limited to only around
three to five. The advantage is wideband single sweep measurement of especially the loss tangent. This
method can be also expanded to higher frequencies with slight modifications.

Abstract:
This paper presents an accurate free space method for material characterization eliminating the
problem of the required precise orientation between the material and the antennas and expanding the
unambiguous range for electrical thick samples. It includes theoretical considerations and
measurement results of four different materials. Overall, a maximum measurement uncertainty of
0.0153 for the relative permittivity and 0.001 for the loss tangent in the W-band can be achieved.
Depending on the variation of the material’s thickness, the implemented setup changes lead to an
reduction of the measurement uncertainty of 8 to 58%.

Abstract:
The article presents a general concept of a recently developed method for numerically efficient
determination of zeros and poles of complex functions. To present the robustness of the method
exemplary applications have been presented. One of the solutions are dispersion equations
characteristics of microwave lossy transmission lines and lines propagating complex modes. Still
another application is the analysis of a spatial dispersion of surface waves propagating along graphene
sheets. The next application is the determination of zeros and poles for scattering parameters of
microwave filters to be used for filter design and optimization. In general, the method can be applied
for a much wider scope of microwave techniques.

Frequency Selective Ferrite Circulators with Quasi-Elliptic

Transmission Response
Authors:
Andrea Ashley, Laila Fighera Marzall, Zoya Popović, Dimitra Psychogiou, University of Colorado
Boulder, USA
Page 211 – 214
Abstract:
This paper reports on a new class of miniaturized RF circulators with bandpass filtering capabilities.
They are based on capacitively-loaded ferrite disk resonators that occupy a 64% smaller area than
conventional RF circulator architectures. Frequency selectivity is achieved by introducing four
transmission zeros (TZs) below and above the circulator passband. The spectral locations of the TZs
are controlled by i) the position of the capacitive load on the ferrite-based disk and by ii) incorporating
resonant-type external coupling elements to its input, output and isolated ports. In this manner,
non-reciprocal quasi-elliptic type power transmission responses can be obtained, which eliminate the
need for additional RF filtering elements in the RF front-end. For proof-of-concept validation, two
microstrip prototypes are designed, built and measured at 2.5 GHz, achieving 2.2 and 1.4 dB minimum
insertion loss, and 33.4 and 30 dB maximum isolation in the pass-band and are presented in this
manuscript for the first time.

Design-Oriented Modelling of Microstrip Ferrite Circulators

Authors:
Mauricio Pinto, Laila Fighera Marzall, Andrea Ashley, Dimitra Psychogiou, Zoya Popović, University of
Colorado Boulder, USA
Page 215 – 218
Abstract:
A modeling approach for the design of microstrip ferrite circulators is presented and validated on
several examples using the same commercially-available ferrite disk. A baseline narrowband 4.25-GHz
microstrip circulator is first demonstrated with a commercial 4.97-mm radius ferrite disk operated in
saturation and below the ferromagnetic resonance. The non-uniform DC magnetic field distributions of
a cylindrical permanent magnet is taken into account by spatial discretization of the ferrite properties
in full-wave simulations. Several design parameters are shown to affect the frequency response; the
ferrite thickness relative the microstrip substrate thickness shifts the operating frequency, while
external matching networks can increase the fractional bandwidth from 10% up 40%. Another degree of
freedom is the applied DC magnetic field, which can be reduced to set the ferrite operation below the
ferromagnetic resonance with significant miniaturization of the overall device, as demonstrated with a
1.6-GHz circulator designed with the same 4.97-mm radius ferrite disk, resulting in an almost factor of
3 reduction in linear electrical size.

A Novel 180◦ Coupler Based on Double-Sided Substrate Integrated

Suspended Line Technology with Patterned Substrate
Authors:
Yuan Ma, Kaixue Ma, Yongqiang Wang, UESTC, China
Page 223 – 226
Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel 180◦ hybrid ring coupler with low loss based on Substrate Integrated
Suspended Line (SISL) platform. Because of the benefit of self-packaging, the radiation loss is greatly
reduced. Meanwhile, we cut out the undesired parts of the suspended substrate and connect the
double-side metal layers to further reduce the loss. The proposed coupler is designed at 24 GHz band
and the measurement results agree well with the simulation ones. Low insertion loss of 0.38 dB at 24
GHz is achieved. From 22GHz to 26GHz, the measured return loss and isolation are better than 15 dB
and 22 dB respectively. The measured amplitude imbalance is smaller than ±0.5 dB from 22 GHz to
25.5 GHz. Fabricated by printed circuit board (PCB) process, the proposed SISL 180◦ coupler features
low cost and self-packaging.

Page 227 – 230
Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel impedance sensor for permittivity measurements of fluids. The sensing
part is electrically small and can thus be represented by a simple equivalent circuit model up to 20
GHz. This is a benefit of the impedance measurement approach for permittivity extraction. A two-step
calibration procedure, consisting of a simple Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL) and a single-liquid calibration is
applied here. Both simulation and experiments on a printed circuit board realization are carried out.
They verify the concept and demonstrate its robustness against production tolerances. Further
improvements for enhanced accuracy and widened frequency range are suggested. The miniaturization
potential is investigated in simulation.

Abstract:
This paper presents a sensing device, useful for the measurement of small concentrations of solute
content in liquids, based on a splitter/combiner microstrip structure loaded with a pair of split ring
resonators (SRRs) in a symmetric configuration. The operation principle is similar to differential
sensing, where one of the SRRs is put in contact with the reference liquid (the solvent), whereas the
solution (or liquid under test — LUT) is forced to flow on top of the other SRR, the sensing element. To
this end, fluidic channels are added on top of the SRRs, which are covered by a dry film in order to avoid
substrate absorption. The asymmetry, caused by the presence of solute content in the LUT, modifies
the response of the structure with regard to the one with identical liquids (pure solvent) in both
channels, and the solute concentration can be inferred. In this work, it is demonstrated that glucose
and sodium concentrations as small as 1 g/L and 0.5 g/L, respectively, in DI water can be measured.

smartphone is stable enough to power up a microcontroller and the other components of the tag. The
sensor has been experimentally validated.

Abstract:
The multipole resonance probe (MRP) is a powerful and economical diagnostic tool for the
determination of process-relevant plasma parameters. Due to its in-situ measurement concept even
spatially resolved information of the plasma under investigation is provided. In order to minimize the
influence of the sensor on the process, the planar multipole resonance probe (pMRP) was introduced as
a minimally invasive monitoring tool, mounted into the reactor wall. For an effective application of
these sensors in a wide field of real processes, industry compatible implementations are required. In
this paper, advanced realizations of the MRP and pMRP based on LTCC-technology are presented,
which are applicable for the supervision and control of plasma processes at high temperatures: the
MRPLTCC and the stacked pMRPLTCC . The latter represents a novel compact design of the pMRP using an
LTCC multilayer structure with vertically stacked components. Both sensors are investigated within 3D
electromagnetic simulations and compared to measurements performed in a double inductively
coupled plasma (DICP).

Epoxy Resin

Page 243 – 246
Abstract:
In this paper, a novel compact fully passive wireless cure monitoring sensor for fibre-reinforced
plastics (FRP) structures is presented. A completely new concept for a very reliable separation of the
radiated measurement signal from the interrogated RF power is achieved by using a passive sensor
internal frequency doubler. The frequency doubling improves the separability and reduces the space
requirements for the sensing resonators and radiating antenna by using the second harmonic as
measurement signal. Thus the sensor enables locally wireless monitoring of the increasing
cross-linking level of the polymer molecules and the reaction temperature of epoxy resins during the
exothermic curing reaction at particular critical locations inside FRP structures. The temperature and
permittivity of the reacting epoxy resin composition is determined by measuring and evaluating the
change in resonance frequency for two substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) resonators. The obtained
measurement results show an excellent correlation with the data provided by the widely used and
established cure monitoring technique differential scanning colorimetry (DSC), as well as with
thermocouple temperature measurements.

Page 247 – 250
Abstract:
We have proposed a transmitter using bandwidth interleaving for high-speed optical communications.
Baseband signals generated at two digital-to-analog converters are connected as one broad baseband
signal using a mixer and combiner. Here, we propose a sideband cancelling method that can generate a
desired signal without the filters and guard band that are conventionally required for removal of a
sideband signal of the mixer. A transmission of 80-Gbaud BPSK signal is demonstrated by the
proposed transmitter.

Linear Front End Module for 4G/5G LTE Advanced Applications

Author:
Florinel Balteanu, Skyworks Solutions, USA
Page 251 – 254
Abstract:
With explosive band proliferation as well the use of carrier aggregation (CA), multiple input multiple
output (MIMO) techniques and 5G, research in the area of improving the cost, performance and the size
of RF transmit solutions is very active with many developments over the past few years. The
proliferation of worldwide smartphones has been in part possible due to increase computational power
of CMOS technology in lower feature nodes as 7nm/14nm. This has also made it possible to enhance
RF CMOS through digital signal processing (DSP) and digital calibration. Despite this progress there is a
shift in terms of what parts of the RF system are portioned in advanced CMOS nodes and what blocks
are left and integrated together with other analogue and RF blocks in a front-end module (FEM). This
paper proposes a solution for this partitioning for lower cost and size and with high linearity
performance and low noise which is mandatory for new 4G/5G multimode multiband (MMBA) FEM
module. A 2.3GHz – 2.7GHz broadband CMOS FDD/TDD LTE Band 7, 38, 40 and 41 power amplifier
(PA) fully integrated with a fast envelope tracker (ET) on a single 0.18μm CMOS die is presented, as well
a method to integrate with a 4G/5G FEM. The CMOS PA and the tracker achieve a 37% overall efficiency
for 26.5dBm and -39dBc ACLR1. This paper also presents how this module integrates into a full 4G/5G
FEM for mobile applications.

High Dynamic Range Low Power Drive Quadrature Millimeter-Wave

Demodulator
Authors:

Page 255 – 258
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel demodulator implemented using a broadband six-port circuit and power
detectors. Every single detector uses a pair of parallel Schottky diodes and a 90◦ hybrid coupler to
improve the input match. The V-band demodulation results of the proposed six-port interferometric
receiver are presented in a wide range of the local oscillator (LO) power. The detected baseband I/Q
measurements results are quasi-linear over the considered LO power from 0 to -40 dB. Moreover, the
high-power drive is not required as in the case of conventional diode mixers. Real time Error Vector
Magnitude (EVM) measurements of pseudorandom QPSK sequences are performed using a Vector
Signal Analyzer. The results are around 5% over a LO power range of 35 dB. This performance
demonstrates the capability of the quadrature interferometric mixer in direct demodulation using low
LO power. The proposed circuit is well suited for millimeter-wave wireless communication systems and
it can replace conventional mixers in efficient and low-cost homodyne receivers.

Abstract:
This paper presents a Ka-band high linearity resistive up-conversion mixer using 0.18-μm standard
CMOS technology. A LO boosting linearization technique is introduced to improve the linearity and
conversion gain of the up-conversion mixer. From the experimental results, the resistive up-conversion
mixer demonstrates a peak conversion gain of -8.5 dB at RF frequency of 28.1 GHz and IF signal of 100
MHz with zero dc power consumption. After adding the LO boosting linearization technique, the
up-conversion mixer achieves an output 1-dB compression point (OP1dB ) of -2.7 dBm via LO drive power
of 10 dBm at 28.1 GHz. In addition, the up-conversion mixer features an IF bandwidth of 5 GHz which
is suitable for high-speed wireless communication applications.

Abstract:
The possibility to receive Ku band TV signals besides performing broadband interactive services in Ka
band from the same orbital position enhances significantly the value of user satellite terminal. We
propose a dichroic sub-reflector (DSR) based on the frequency selective surface (FSS) of periodic
structure to achieve a wide-band high pass filter. The surface of the DSR is designed for reflection of
Ku-band electromagnetic waves and pass through those of K- and Ka-band. The DSR is built in a double
ring structure using a popular low cost FR4 printed circuit board (PCB). We show full wave simulations,
ray tracing calculated from blockage and measurement of Compact-Range chamber as well as far-field
and teleport test results.

Page 272 – 275
Abstract:
Artificial magnetic conductors (AMCs) received a lot of attention for Antenna-on-Chip applications.
Typically, these structures suffer from severe dielectric losses. These losses can be separated in two
mechanisms; losses due to the propagation through a lossy medium, and losses due to the fringe fields
coupling into the silicon. It is shown that a theoretical minimum dielectric loss can be defined, and
using intuitive measures, an AMC can be constructed which approaches this theoretical limit.

Abstract:
It has recently been shown that the relaxation time of a graphene sheet is the crucial parameter that
governs the radiation performance in graphene THz antennas based on either plasmonic or
nonplasmonic leaky waves. Moreover, the radiating properties of these devices have always been
derived assuming an ideal dipole-like source, and no full-wave and experimental results on realistic
feeders have been reported, yet. To this purpose, in this work we aim at bringing the designs of
graphene-based Fabry-Perot cavity leaky-wave antennas (FPC-LWAs) towards an experimental stage.
First, the antenna design is validated with full-wave simulations, by modeling not only the antenna
structure, but also a realistic THz source, namely an open-ended waveguide. Another considerable
difference with the previous designs is the use of a cylindrical geometry. As a result, the radiation
patterns now exhibit a remarkable omnidirectionality over the azimuthal plane, as the beam is
scannable from broadside up to 45◦ . Second, THz measurements are carried out to characterize
graphene samples deposited over silicon substrates. The relaxation time is estimated by combining the
transmittance measurements of a sample with well-established theoretical models for the graphene
surface conductivity. These results shed several issues for the future developments of graphene-based
FPC-LWAs.

Page 288 – 291
Abstract:
In this work, a refinement of the classical coupled-cavity filter design technique is presented. This
refinement consists of a central frequency correction when calculating inter-resonator cavity couplings.
The correction introduced is specially critical when 3D shapings are applied to empty cavities, since
both resonators and couplings become more dispersive, and frequency tuning is harder due to an
increased sensitivity with the resonator geometry. To validate the design approach, a filter design with
shaped cavities is realised, where it can be seen that the traditional design technique leads to a starting
point which is significantly far from the target specifications. However, the use of the new technique
increases the accuracy of its initial response, allowing a simpler final optimization process. The
technique presented can have big impact in the efficient design of future filter structures, where 3D
shapings are applied to improve performances.

Abstract:
In this paper we present the preliminary electromagnetic characterization of a 3D-printed low-pass
filter for broadband RF applications. The filter consists of two conical 3D inductors and a 3D capacitor,
arranged in a third-order Butterworth topology. We designed, fabricated, and tested the prototype
filter. The results for insertion loss, cut-off frequency, and bandwidth enhancement, are presented,
discussed and correlated with the design and production parameters.

Bandpass Filter Based on Skeleton-Like Monobloc Dielectric Pucks

Made by Additive Manufacturing
Authors:
Aurélien Périgaud, Olivier Tantot, Nicolas Delhote, Serge Verdeyme, Stéphane Bila,
Dominique Baillargeat, XLIM (UMR 7252), France
Page 296 – 299
Abstract:
This paper presents a 6th order quasi-elliptic bandpass filter working at 11.75 GHz and based on
dielectric hollow resonators (pucks). The resonators and their supporting elements have been
fabricated altogether in a single part using ceramic (Alumina) additive manufacturing. This part is
simply placed in the filter metal housing and therefore limits the number of pieces to be assembled.
An important aspect of this work is that no specific, and potentially lossy, third materials (supports,
glue) are needed. This assembly route easily allows the dielectric resonators to be placed in the middle
of their cavities in order to maximize their Q factor. The proposed principle has been experimentally
validated using, for the fast prototyping of this proof of concept, metallized and low cost plastic 3D
printing.

Measurement in an Emulated Urban Test Drive
Authors:
Mahmoud Almarashli, Stefan Lindenmeier, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Germany
Page 300 – 303
Abstract:
For evaluation of vehicular MIMO antennas in LTE 4G/5G mobile communications a reproducible test
method is introduced, which is based on a new investigation of throughput and channel capacity in a
virtual test drive. For this 4G/5G MIMO driving test, real hardware and virtual reality are combined.
The transmitting and receiving hardware-units are emulated in a measurement hardware-setup, while
the air interface is simulated via ray tracing in an urban 3D city model. For evaluation of vehicular
4G/5G-MIMO-antennas, the characteristics of these antennas are measured on the vehicle, and the
complete data is fed into the X3D ray tracing algorithm. Reproducibility of the drive is ensured by
excluding temporary effects like traffic interferences. The outcome of the 4G/5G-system emulator is
applicable in [0.6–6] GHz range and could be extended to higher frequency bands. The comparison
between different antennas is accomplished through indicators like signal to interference plus noise
ratio, received signal strength indication and data rate.

Diversity Performance of Benchmark Scenarios for Hidden Vehicle-to-X

Antennas Underneath the Roof
Authors:
Miguel Bueno Diez, Stefan Lindenmeier, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Germany
Page 308 – 311
Abstract:
Various benchmark scenarios at 5.9 GHz for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) antennas hidden underneath
the roof of the car are investigated. Spatial micro-diversity combining techniques compensate to a
great extent the worsening of performance by hiding the antennas underneath the chassis. The
feasibility of a new hidden position underneath the back of the roof is investigated. It shows better
performance than the system centered underneath the roof. It is also demonstrated that such diversity
systems counteract the disturbing effects of random scenarios that occur in a trip, such as the presence
of human bodies or roll down of the side windows. Simulations with high-frequency asymptotic
methods show good agreement with measurements performed in an outdoor far-field test range.

A Multi-Channel Algorithm for Antenna Diversity of SiriusXM High

Band Satellite Reception in Vehicles
Authors:
A. Nassar, Simon Senega, Stefan Lindenmeier, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Germany
Page 312 – 315
Abstract:
A new multi-channel algorithm for satellite digital audio radio services (SDARS) with
scan-phase-antenna diversity at the SiriusXM high band is presented. Considering reception via four
different satellite frequency bands simultaneously, the algorithm controls microwave phase shifters as
well as switches of a diversity circuit in order to combine different antenna signals for a minimized
overall bit error probability. On basis of a simple level detection, the in-phase and quadrature
components are derived for all frequency bands and an overall bit error probability is estimated, which
is minimized via the switching and phase constellation of the microwave diversity circuit. For the
verification of the algorithm, antenna signals of a micro-diversity antenna set are received in real
scenario test drives underneath dense foliage which are fed into a scan-phase diversity circuit. Even in
unconventional antenna mounting positions the antenna diversity measurements with the novel
multi-channel algorithm show a significant improvement of the reception quality in comparison to
single antennas.

Abstract:
The modern automobile is an artificial intelligence computer requiring constant contact with data
networks to upload vehicle data and maintain the processing platform with software and firmware
updates. 5G roll-out must include non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) to augment terrestrial cellular

novel, flat-panel, electronically scanned, metamaterials antenna technology (MSAT) that makes
high-throughput satellite connectivity to the consumer automobile a practical reality.

Range 0.5–50GHz
Authors:

Page 320 – 323
Abstract:
Breast cancer is one of the most dangerous female disease worldwide. Currently the trend of incidence
rate is growing, however the death rate is decreasing. The merit of these statistics can be also referred
to the improvement in available diagnostic tools, which are allowing to make early-diagnosis.
Nowadays, several diagnostic methodologies are available, however they are not optimal to be used in a
mass screening program, because of their limitations (e.g., patient exposition to ionizing radiations or
high costs). For these reasons, recently microwaves and mm-waves have been proposed as a safe and
low cost alternative. In particular, mm-waves could offer a suitable compromise between penetration
depth, image resolution, and contrast between the dielectric properties of healthy and malignant
tissues. A key point for the development of such microwave and mm-wave diagnostic systems is the
test phase on realistic breast phantoms.
This paper discusses for the first time the conservation of a particular type of easy-to-produce and
cheap mixtures used to create breast phantom in the frequency range 0.5–50 GHz. The conservation
aspects are fundamental to ensure the repeatability of measurements over time. In particular, this
paper shows experimental results performed in a time span of one week, which demonstrate that the
best stability for the dielectric properties of the mixtures is achieved when preserving the mixture itself
using sunflower seed oil.

Netherlands
Page 328 – 331
Abstract:
Hyperthermia, increasing tumor temperatures to 39–43◦ C for 1 h, enhances the effectiveness of
radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Deep seated pelvic tumors are usually heated by arrays of
radiofrequency or microwave antennas placed around the patient, capable of focussing power onto the
tumor. The AMC developed the AMC 4 loco-regional hyperthermia system with 4 rectangular 70 MHz
waveguide antennas for heating deep-seated pelvic tumors. This system has been commercialized as
the ALBA4D utilizing the same geometric layout and the same waveguides. Goal of this study was to
evaluate the performance of the ALBA4D system. We compared electric field (E-field) distributions in a
patient-mimicking phantom and confirmed that phase control of the focal point is similar to the AMC
4, thus ensuring similar clinical performance.

Page 332 – 335
Abstract:
Hyperthermia (i.e. heating tumour tissue to 39–43◦ C) is an oncological treatment to enhance the effect
of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. RF heating of deep-seated tumours is performed using phased
array systems. Antenna settings are usually determined based on clinical experience, assisted by E-field
and temperature measurements in natural body cavities (e.g. cervix, bladder, rectum) adjacent to the
tumour. When the tumour is not in the direct vicinity of a natural body cavity, e.g. pancreatic tumours,
these probes cannot be positioned easily and adequate thermometry is very limited. Treatment
planning can be helpful in addition to the limited thermometry available. The usefulness of treatment
guidance by hyperthermia treatment planning and limited thermometry was evaluated for RF heating
of two pancreatic cancer patients. Median temperatures measured in the duodenum were above 40◦ C
for patient 1 and above 39◦ C for patient 2. This demonstrates that treatment planning is helpful to
determine antenna settings for adequate hyperthermia treatments with limited thermometry.

Abstract:
This paper presents a new flexible RF cut and microwave ablation device for dissection and assisted
“tunneling” into the hard surface of a tumour, prior to ablation. The distal applicator structure
consists of twin bipolar RF electrodes and a helical “leaky” coaxial microwave antenna. Several antenna
embodiments are discussed with associated design challenges presented. Finite element analysis (FEA)
simulation, the prototype device and initial ex-vivo evaluation are presented. It is shown that the FEA
simulation data corresponded well to the ex-vivo ablation profile. The results successfully validate this
concept and its capability of supporting both RF cut and microwave ablation using a single antenna
structure.

Abstract:
In this paper, the quasi-monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) high power amplifier (HPA)
with silicon integrated passive device (IPD) matching network is proposed. The proposed quasi-MMIC
HPA consists of commercial GaN transistor power cell and IPD matching network using silicon
substrate. The proposed quasi-MMIC HPA can achieve similar output power and efficiency
characteristics compared with the conventional MMIC HPAs. Moreover, the manufacturing cost can be
reduced due to the silicon substrate process. For experimental validation, the proposed quasi-MMIC
HPA was designed and fabricated at the 8.5 GHz for radar application. The measurement results shows
that the output power and drain efficiency at saturation point are 48.5 dBm (70.8W) and 45.5%,
respectively, with pulse signal test (100 μsec pulse width and 10% duty.

Applications
Authors:
Wilfried Demenitroux, Audrey Thorinius, Lucas Mandica, Frederic Ploneis, Nicolas Berthou, Thales,
France
Page 344 – 347
Abstract:
This paper describes a new design methodology for high power amplifier based on 0.25μm GaN
technology in C-band, with maximum efficiency over a wide range of output power. The main idea is to
focus the design on matching the input and output impedance to have the better trade-off for high
efficiency over a wide range of output power and frequency, by sweeping the drain voltage of the HPA.
The measured HPA exhibits an average power-added efficiency (PAE) of 65% from 4.4 to 5.0 GHz with
an output power of 10W and a power gain of 15dB at saturated power. This amplifier is able to be used
in application which need reconfigurable output power from 0.5W to 10W with over 60% of PAE, or with
Envelop Tracking architecture.

Page 348 – 351
Abstract:
This paper presents a wideband high efficiency GaN-HEMT balanced power amplifier for modern
communication systems. Source- and load-pull analyses through simulations as well as pre-matching
technique are applied to design the branch amplifiers. The matching networks comprise the 4:1
binomial impedance transformers to step down the 50Ω system impedance. Broadband SMD
quadrature hybrid couplers are implemented to form the balanced configuration. The realized
amplifier exhibits small-signal gain of 13.5±2 dB over the target frequency range 1.3–3.6 GHz while
maintaining well-matched conditions at both input and output. Large-signal measurements show that
the amplifier properly deliver 47.5±1.2 dBm continuous wave output power with an average
power-added efficiency (PAE) of 55% across the desired bandwidth.

Abstract:
This paper describes the design methodology and the measured results of a X-band 2 stage MMIC HPA
developed for space application. The objective was to reach a high Output Power associated to a very
high Power Added Efficiency. This device uses the 250 nm gate length GaN technology on SiC from UMS
(GH25-10). To combine a high level of output power and a very high PAE, a harmonic tuning of the load
and source impedances has been necessary. The MMIC, characterized in CW mode and biased in class
A-B, achieves better than 20 W of Output Power (Pout) associated to a PAE above 50% and a Power gain
(Gp) higher than 19 dB in the full 7.8–8.8 GHz frequency range. This high performance has been
obtained in a very challenging environment due to all the constraints from space de-ratings. These
results are among the best ones published in terms of PAE and Pout in this frequency range.

Abstract:
This paper presents a recent investigation of dual-mode microstrip filter with non-resonating nodes
and non-uniform Q lossy technique. By utilizing the dual-path and dual-mode property of dual-mode
open-loop resonator, non-uniform Q distribution is deployed for passband flatness improvement. As
there is no coupling between even-mode and odd-mode, the odd-mode Q-factor can be properly
reduced by loading resistors over the symmetric plane of each resonators. The coupling matrix analysis
are described. Design of this type of 4-pole dual-mode bandpass filter is demonstrated experimentally.

Abstract:
Analog RF/microwave passive filters are traditionally realized by means of
electromagnetically-coupled-resonator circuit networks. Nevertheless, alternative design techniques
can be exploited to synthesize advanced filtering transfer functions, such as those based on
signal-interference principles and generalized stub-loaded-circuit approaches. Contrary to the filtering
responses that are synthesized through conventional coupling-matrix-based procedures, the theoretical
power transmission parameters of these filtering circuits are usually frequency periodic. Hence, they
can be directly matched with the frequency response of an associated digital model. In this paper, this
behavioral methodology is applied to the design of novel linear time-invariant digital systems with
transfer functions that are inspired by frequency-periodic analog RF/microwave passive filters.
Specifically, the coefficients corresponding to the two following synthesis examples are extracted and
presented: i) signal-interference quasi-elliptic-type bandpass filter with in-band linear-phase profile and
ii) stub-loaded-based dual-passband filter with multiple transmission zeros (TZs). Furthermore, the
properties of their associated analog-inspired linear time-invariant digital systems are discussed.

Abstract:
This paper presents a new theoretical synthesis method for the coupling matrix strictly based on the
classical network synthesis theory. While the classical network synthesis theory based on the real
rational functions is a well-established rigorous process, the coupling matrix method becomes popular,
and is being widely used because of its flexible design capabilities. The coupling matrix method has,
however, relatively ambiguous adaptability to the classical scheme, although many studies have been
carried out to relate them to each other. This paper shows that the Eigen mode expansion method in
corporation with the orthogonal symmetric transform by the Householder method enables an exact
correspondence between them. To generalize and extend this process further, the Householder
method is modified to be applicable to general cross coupling configurations. Finally, some design
examples are provided.

Application of a Series Open Circuit Stub Transform to Bandpass Filter

Design
Author:
J.A.G. Malherbe, University of Pretoria, South Africa
Page 368 – 371
Abstract:
A bandpass filter design is proposed that is based on a transmission line transform that transforms an
open circuit series stub to a short circuited shunt stub. The transform was originally proposed for the
design of pseudo-highpass filters, and is exact only at the band-edge frequency of the design. In this
paper the transform is applied to the design of bandpass filters that is based on the classic redundant
filter design, but with the application of the new transform.

Abstract:
A wideband bandpass filter (BPF) composed of two cascaded single-short-circuited-stub-loaded
parallel-coupled-lines (SSCSL-PCLs) and two short-circuited shunt stubs at ports are theoretical
investigated for the first time. The synthesis formulae of the BPF are derived based on the equi-ripple
filtering function. As an example, a wideband BPF with a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 33% is
synthesized. The designed filter is then simulated, fabricated and measured. The good agreement
validates the effectiveness of the newly proposed filter structure and the corresponding synthesis
technique.

Page 376 – 379
Abstract:
With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, more requirements for
miniaturized microstrip antennas have been put forward. In this paper, the input impedance of the last
element of the array is designed to match the characteristic impedance of the series-fed antenna array
to achieve the effect of traveling wave antenna array. The distance between elements can be adjusted
to realize the beam control. A 35GHz series-fed conformal antenna array composed of three microstrip
radiation units is designed with this method, which decreases the height of the array by 62%. Thirty-two
arrays conformal with a cylinder with a diameter of 70mm of equal distance and a 1 point 32 equal
power feed network are designed to feed 3×32 microstrip conformal array antenna. The conformal
antenna array can achieve omnidirectional radiation on the plane with the angle of 60◦ between main
lobe and axis of the cylinder. The maximum gain difference of the directional diagram is 1.2dB.

Dual Band and Single Band Application
Authors:
Eeshaan Vernekar, Pragati Patel, Mallikarjun Erramshetty, NIT Goa, India
Page 384 – 387
Abstract:
In this work, a perforated rectangular dielectric resonator antenna is proposed for wide band, dual
band, single band application. Co-axial probe is used for excitation and metal strip is attached to
improve the impedance matching. The slots drilled for perforations are filled with different dielectric
χ χ χ
materials to excite resonant modes; T E111 , T E131 , T E151 . Thus wideband design offers bandwidth of
32.55% at resonant frequency of 2.92 GHz (2.716–3.64 GHz) for air filled slots. The dual band designs
offer bandwidth of 11% (2.23–2.47 GHz) at 2.32 GHz, 3.2% (3.94–4.07 GHz) at 4.01 GHz for dielectric
material with εr = 9.2; 8.7% (2.1–2.29 GHz) at 2.18 GHz, 3% (3.70–3.81 GHz) at 3.76 GHz for εr = 12.85.
The single band design offers bandwidth of 12% (2.35–2.65 GHz) at 2.48 GHz for εr = 6.15.

An Electrical-Contactless Substrate-Over-Waveguide Planar Array Slot

Antenna
Authors:
A.T. Muriel-Barrado, Manuel Sierra-Pérez, José-Manuel Fernández-González, Universidad Politécnica de
Madrid, Spain
Page 388 – 391
Abstract:
A novel design of substrate-over-waveguide (SOW) planar array 6×12 slot antenna is simulated and
presented. It consists of 6 linear arrays fed by conventional waveguide technology. For bandwidth
improvement, the 12-slot arrays are fed in the middle to form two 1×6 slot arrays. The upper face of
the waveguide is not closed. Instead, a Rogers RO3003 (εr = 3 and tan δ = 0.0010) substrate is placed
above, with no electrical contact between the substrate copper foil (where the radiating slots (RS) are
printed) and the waveguide network. The coupling between waveguides is avoided by a
counter-phase-fed scheme. This scheme is performed by a transition composed of counter-phase
coupling slots (CP-CS) located in the lower face of the waveguide network. These coupling slots in turn
are fed by a corporate waveguide feeding network (CWFN) placed below the antenna. Therefore,
fabrication process is enhanced, eliminating possible electrical bad contacts between substrate and
waveguide layers. All the designs within this paper work in 34–36 GHz band for radar applications.
CST Studio Suite Transient Solver is used to simulation process. Some prototypes will be manufactured
and measured with the fabrication processes discussed in this paper.

Page 392 – 395
Abstract:
A simple method to improve the gain and axial ratio of cavity-backed spiral antennas at low
frequencies is presented. The inclusion of appropriate non-metallic materials in the upper cavity walls
allows the design of compact antennas without a significant performance degradation at low
frequencies. A two-arm Archimedean spiral antenna is designed and simulated in order to validate this
method. The antenna can operate in a wide frequency band from 2 to 18 GHz. The results obtained
show a considerable gain and axial ratio improvement at 2 GHz.

Abstract:
A 300-GHz CMOS receiver module with a WR-3.4 waveguide interface is presented. The CMOS receiver
is flip-chip mounted on a low-cost multilayered glass epoxy printed circuit board (PCB). A
transmission-line-to-waveguide transition with a back-short structure is built into the PCB. The

Space Debris Radar at 94GHz
Authors:
Adrián Tamayo-Domínguez, José-Manuel Fernández-González, Manuel Sierra-Castañer, Universidad
Page 400 – 403
Abstract:
This work presents the design of a monopulse antenna with left-handed circular polarization that is
based on a radial line slot array (RLSA) antenna excited by a distribution network implemented in gap
waveguide. This feeding network consists of a Butler matrix that excites a circular cavity coupled to the
RLSA, simultaneously generating a sum beam and a difference beam. The application of the antenna is
a radar for space debris detection financed by the Community of Madrid. The RLSA disposes the
radiant elements in the form of concentric rings in which the length and position of the slots are
optimized by an algorithm based on the Method of Moments. The RLSA is placed on the feeding
network, which has been designed oriented to additive manufacturing. The simulation results of the
entire antenna show acceptable matching and very stable radiation patterns for monopulse operation.

Page 404 – 407
Abstract:
Next generation mm-wave communications foresee to heavily rely on higher frequency bands, such as
the E- and D-bands. At these frequencies, novel transmission line technologies can emerge and the
confinement properties of a cylindrical dielectric rod look indeed attractive to realize short mm-wave
junctions or moveable joints. This paper investigates the possibility of a Plexiglas-based radio fiber for
the aforementioned purposes. The described design flow is based on the well-known optical fiber
theory to assess the guided modes, their cut-off frequency and their shapes. This manuscript reports
also the experimental results of three E-band radio fiber junctions and their propagation characteristics.

Authors:
Chuxian Zhang, Qunfeng Chang, Hong Liu, Qian Yu, Libing Cai, CASC, China
Page 408 – 411
Abstract:
A Terahertz waveguide switch technology is presented. The gap between the rotor and the stator of a
traditional waveguide switch will increase insert loss and reduce isolation while there will be signal
leakage in it. The rotor and the stator of the waveguide switch presented are conical, thus the gap will
vanish when signal is transmitting and will emerge when the rotor is rotating. The insert loss is
decreased and the isolation is increased while the switching action is reliable. The switch is proved to
has an excellent performance at frequency of 0.22∼0.33THz.

Page 412 – 415
Abstract:
We present here experimental results for a new type of broadband emitter that covers two RF bands,
one around 300 GHz and the other between 10 and 20 GHz. The higher band is excited by a
square-spiral antenna driven at its center by a photoconductive switch. The lower band is excited by a
dumb-bell dipole antenna that is connected serially to the square spiral and also acts as the bias line for
the switch. This type of dual-band performance should be beneficial for multiple system applications
including free-space radar without atmospheric dropout, and biomedical reflective imaging.

Sciences, Russia
Page 416 – 419
Abstract:
The results of theoretical and experimental investigations of high-performance ultra-thin metasurface
absorbers designed for narrow-band operation at subterahertz frequencies are presented.
Implemented in a high-impedance surface configuration with a deep-subwavelength thin ground
polypropylene substrate, the absorbers are intended for using as the photo-sensitive layers in
wavelength-selective thermal detectors. A compact closed-form equivalent circuit formulation verified
by full-wave simulations, as well as the route towards an optimal design of the spectrometric absorber
are discussed. In addition, a spectrometric array of metasurface-absorber-integrated pyroelectric
detectors with spectral peak sensitivities positioned in the range of 0.094–1 THz and providing the
selectivity bandwidth of several per cent is described.

Abstract:
The plasmonic metasurface with the angle-sensitive resonance positioned in the vicinity of 0.8–0.9 THz
was proposed for THz thin-film sensing and its performance under oblique illumination was
numerically investigated and experimentally tested. It is shown that the metasurface can be effectively
used to substitute spectral measurements for the single-wavelength ones by tracking the transmission
at different angles of incidence. The proposed approach is evaluated as promising for sensing
submicron-thick analyte layers.

Abstract:
In this work a new compact lenslet is proposed for the W-band, in the context of embedded mesh
technology for engineering the dielectric involved in the manufacturing. This lenslet is designed to be
fed directly by a circular waveguide and produces a Gaussian beam with sidelobes at -10dB/-15dB and
cross-polarisation below -20dB, with the advantage of having a much shorter device than classical
corrugated horns for astronomy applications. The concept of the lenslet is presented, and then the
design process is explained and elucidated with a numerical example.

Authors:
Mohammad Moein Moeini, Homayoon Oraizi, Amrollah Amini, IUST, Iran
Page 428 – 431
Abstract:
In this paper, the effect of forward and backward radiation modes in 2-D holographic leaky wave
antennas are described. The suppression of backward radiation mode is proposed to prevent the
destructive effect of the excitation of the forward and backward radiation modes at frequencies that
are lower than the designed operating frequency. Wedge reflector is placed next to the launcher in
order to improve the radiation characteristics of the antenna. The presence of the wedge reflector
changes the distribution form of the reference wave. The antenna is designed to operate over 13–18
GHz frequency band and a bandwidth of 32% is obtained.

Abstract:
In this paper, a fishnet metamaterial based gradient-index lens for phase correction of a 60 GHz horn
antenna is presented. The single unit cell layer, which constitutes the lens, is fabricated from an
aluminum metalization on industry-standard polymer film, which makes the assembly lightweight and
cost-efficient. First, a suitable range of unit cell geometries is determined and examined for its
transmission phase and magnitude characteristics through full-wave simulation. After determining the
near-field phase distribution of the horn antenna, a phase-correcting lens design is constructed from
the unit cell results, with the aim of narrowing the antenna’s main-lobe. Far-field measurements of
fabricated prototypes verify the performance, showing a significant reduction of the half-power beam
width and side-lobe level.

Abstract:
A three-dimensional finite element code based on a nonconformal domain decomposition method
(DDM) and support for hp discretizations — meshes combining different h, element size, and p,
polynomial order of approximation within the element — is presented. Nonconformal DDM

Analysis of Dielectric-Loaded Waveguide Filters by the Generalized

BI-RME Method
Authors:
Simone Battistutta, Maurizio Bozzi, Marco Bressan, Luca Perregrini, Università di Pavia, Italy
Page 444 – 447
Abstract:
This paper presents the application of the generalized boundary integral-resonant mode expansion
(BI-RME) method to the analysis of dielectric-loaded waveguide filters. The method is based on the
segmentation/recombination technique, which permits to divide the component into
homogeneously-filled building blocks. The BI-RME method is used to calculate the generalized
admittance matrix (GAM) of each arbitrarily shaped building block by solving an integral equation,
which is obtained enforcing the appropriate boundary condition to the electromagnetic field. The
GAMs are then cascaded to obtain the frequency response of the whole component. Any possible
shape of the interconnecting surfaces can be treated with this implementation due to the adoption of
the RWG basis functions to represent the unknown electric and magnetic surface currents. The theory
of the method is outlined in this paper, and a numerical example demonstrates the capabilities of the
proposed algorithm.

Page 448 – 451
Abstract:
In this paper, an extended full-wave analysis of a circular cavity with insertion hole is presented. This
type of cavity has been traditionally analysed with only symmetric modes, TE0np or TM0np . However,
the theoretical modelling developed in this paper takes into account the full set of possible modes
inside the cavity (symmetric or not). Some useful curves related with the frequency shift, which are
available in the literature for only symmetric modes, are provided in a broad range of resonant modes.
Simulations are compared with literature and with commercial software. Finally, experimental
measurements of the complex permittivity of dielectric rods are presented, where some different
modes have been employed successfully.

Meshless Method

Vincenzo Lombardi, Maurizio Bozzi, Luca Perregrini, Università di Pavia, Italy
Page 452 – 455
Abstract:
This paper presents for the first time the implementation of the variational meshless method for the
solution of a 2D vector field equation. The meshless method based on radial basis functions is
combined with the variational principle and applied to the analysis of a rectangular waveguide filled
with an inhomogeneous material. The minimization of the functional involving the magnetic field
allows for the determination of the dispersion diagram of the structure, leading to the calculation of a
large number of propagating modes with a limited number of unknowns and in a very short
computation time. The numerical examples shows the effectiveness of the proposed numerical
technique.

Abstract:
A set of laboratory exercises has been designed to enable students to learn the design of RF circuits
with microstrip technology using high-frequency design software for circuit and electromagnetic
simulation. Also the use of system simulator for RF applications has been introduced in several
subjects. The goal of this work is to facilitate remote access of students to this software and measure
the advantages it gives to the students work. Then, it has been developed a secured server for the
students, that allows them to use the software’s educational licenses from their personal computers.
This enables the students to work on their designs at home and the teachers to track and evaluate the
time and effort of the students through the use of these licenses. Also, some of these laboratory
exercises has been adapted to be developed independently by the student by using the software
through remote access and so we can optimize resources of the department and provide more
flexibility to the students.

Page 471 – 474
Abstract:
Major changes are occurring in introductory microwave engineering to geophysics. The paper
describes a short-term undergraduate course on microwave communication in the new propagation
channel at S. Seifullin Kazakh Agro Technical University (KATU), Kazakhstan. Along with the
continuously evolving curriculum of microwave engineering education, there remains a constant issue
— the recognized of obligatory laboratory experience. Characterization of telemetry channel was
offered to undergraduate students in the framework of research course on communications. It helps
students to familiarize with specific application of microwaves in X-band. The main attention is
focused on microwave measurements and its limitations, like in industry, different effects at high
frequencies (higher order modes, radiation, coupling etc.), influence of scattering etc. Investigations in
the new channel of geophysical information transfer became the educational project arise from
opportunity given to undergraduates to receive some practice in the microwaves in very short time. It
is one more unique opportunity enough to inflame interest of undergraduate students in their possible
future career in urgent growing area between geophysics and microwave communications.

Switches

Tejinder Singh, Raafat R. Mansour, University of Waterloo, Canada
Page 475 – 478
Abstract:
This paper presents the simulation and measured results of a phase-change material (PCM) based
radio-frequency (RF) switch optimized to improve the ratio between OFF-state and ON-state resistivity.
Various samples having germanium telluride (GeTe) films are developed and imaged using Atomic
Force Microscope (AFM) and are compared with cross-wafer resistance measurement results to
determine the optimum sputtering conditions of the GeTe films. A simple four-layer fabrication
process for GeTe based switches is presented. Several switches with different micro-heater dimensions
are compared to investigate the performance of heater and its impact on the isolation performance of
switch. A compact RF series switch has been measured, demonstrating an insertion loss of only 0.29 dB
and an OFF-state isolation better than 23 dB over DC–26 GHz frequency range, yielding a relatively high
Roff /Ron ratio.

Page 479 – 482
Abstract:
This paper presents the design, fabrication and high frequency characterization of GeTe phase change
material based double port double throw switch (DPDT) matrix using phase change materials. The
material exhibits non-volatile conductivity changes between amorphous high resistance and crystalline
low resistance state. Being non-volatile, these RF switches do not require permanent bias to be
maintained in a given state. We present the design of 4-terminal RF switch and the integration of this
structure into wideband DPDT matrices. The proposed device has less than 2 dB loss and more than 20
dB below 5 GHz. This matrix can retain its state without any applied bias.

Page 483 – 486
Abstract:
This paper presents the design, fabrication and measurements of Ku-band high-Q tunable resonator
and tunable two-pole filter using Vanadium Dioxide (VO2 ) Phase Change Material (PCM) diaphragm. The
device consists of a copper surface mounted cavity, bonded on a sapphire substrate, on which are
processed the VO2 -based disk-shaped irises. The irises are located opposite to capacitive posts, in the
middle of each cavities, where the E-field of the resonant mode is maximum in order to ensure a wide
tuning range. Using the reversible Metal-to-Insulator Transition (MIT) of VO2 , the resonant frequency of
the resonators is shifted by changing the conductivity of the switches. Electromagnetic simulations
have been conducted and exhibits 8% frequency shift from 13.68 GHz to 14.7 GHz and an unloaded
quality factor (Qu ) from 1198 to 142.

A Fully Printed Switch Based on VO2 Ink for Reconfigurable RF

Components
Authors:
Mohammad Vaseem, Su Zhen, Shuai Yang, Atif Shamim, KAUST, Saudi Arabia
Page 487 – 490
Abstract:
Recently, vanadium dioxide (VO2 ) has emerged as an attractive phase change material which can be
used for reconfigurable or switchable RF components. However, at present, VO2 is deposited by
expensive and complex thin film microfabrication techniques. With the surge in low cost, additively
manufactured or printed components, it will be beneficial to print phase change materials or switches
as well. The issue is there are no such functional inks available in the market. In this work, we present,
for the first time VO2 based ink that changes its conductive properties based on temperature. Precisely,
it displays insulating properties at room temperature (resistance of ∼5KΩ in the off-state), but
becomes conductive when heated around 70◦ C (resistance of ∼10Ω in the on-state). Based on this VO2
ink and a custom silver-organo-complex (SOC) ink, we demonstrate a fully printed thermally controlled
RF switch in this work. In a CPW based shunt configuration, the fully printed switch provides more
than 15 dBs of isolation (in the off state) and a 0.5–2 dB of insertion loss (in the on state) from 100 MHz
to 30 GHz frequency band. To demonstrate its application, a fully printed frequency reconfigurable
planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) has also been demonstrated in this work.

Abstract:
This paper presents a RF to mm-wave switch based on Germanium Telluride phase change material. An
integration process compatible with a standard CMOS back end of line is proposed to realize directly
heated switches. RF measurements, performed up to 65 GHz, show an ON-state resistance of 1 Ω with
an OFF-state capacitance of 7 fF corresponding to a 22 THz cut-off frequency which constitutes a
state-of-the-art Figure-of-Merit. Switching time of only 60 ns in both phase changes allow energy
consumption one decade lower than the state-of-the-art for crystallization. A geometrical variation of
GeTe dimensions shows a linear evolution of RF performance in terms of ON-state resistance and an
almost unchanged performance in the OFF-state.

High-Frequency Sensing: Modelling, Simulation, and Experimental
Analysis
Authors:
Manuel Schimmack, Wolfgang Taute, Michael Höft, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany
Page 495 – 498
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel metal-polymer hybrid embroidered microwave ring multiresonator, which
is implemented in a respiratory filter for high-frequency particle sensing. Metal-polymer multifilament
fibres are the fundamental core for wearable technology, including bio-sensing textiles for use in
healthcare and for electromagnetic shielding, which can be used in various applications. HFSS (ANSYS)
was used for modelling a two-wire transmission ring multiresonator and an FEM based simulation was
performed to analyze different coupling methods. Following this, the design and manufacture of the
embroidered sensor is described. After that, a scatter analysis was made of the measured parameters
from 2–8 GHz and the quality factors. In a case study, beech dust particles were used to load the
respiratory filter to characterize the performance of the implemented ring multiresonator.

Abstract:
A radar imaging method is proposed for early cancer detection using difference between the radar
response of the left and right breasts. In this study, only the glandular tissue was taken from MRI
images of several breast cancer patients, and the bilateral symmetry of the mammary gland structure
was quantitatively evaluated. Even in cancer patients, the correlation between right and left glandular
tissue showed high values of 0.71 to 0.88. Based on this fact, the backscattering caused by cancer is
revealed by radar imaging using the difference between the radar response of the right and left breasts.
This method is effective even in a lower band than the conventional ultra-wideband method. Since the
same equipment can be used for tomography, the proposed method is a strong alternative method for
early breast cancer detection.

Abstract:
A time domain microwave system completely based on off-the-shelf components is developed for
biomedical applications. This work is the investigation of this system for two different type of
applications: medical diagnosis and vital sign detection. The results show that the system is accurate
enough for most of the measurement scenarios. Both the respiration rate and heartbeat rate are
detectable with the system and the success rate of respiration detection is 100% for seventeen tests we

Abstract:
The present work is a continuation of our multidisciplinary study on optimizing therapy in patients with chronic
neurological conditions. Here we aim to monitor the efficiency of antihypertensive treatment via microwave
blood sensing technique. The concept of microwave sensing is based on in vitro detecting drug-induced dielectric
response (Δε∗ ) of erythrocytes. This response is closely tied to a membrane adrenergic activity exhibiting
individual peculiarities of the stress system, which varies significantly depending on a patient’s health status and
stage of the disease. That is why its evaluation during the course of treatment is of great importance for
appropriate medication therapy (in particular, with prescribing antihypertensive drugs) as well as for the
monitoring treatment efficiency. The study of these drug-induced effects in blood samples has been carried out
using a complex of physical and biochemical methods. Microwave dielectric observations were performed as the
repeated permittivity measurements of blood samples with a single-frequency waveguide-based reflectometry
(39.5 GHz). To validate the results of the dielectric study we opted for a biochemical technique which allows
evaluating the adrenergic effect of a pharmaceutical agent to erythrocytes. Both techniques have revealed
well-correlated data which indicate the successful applicability of such an approach when considering the
adrenergic status of a patient in antihypertensive treatment. Previously reported data supplemented by new
findings are presented. The results would be helpful for the specialists dealing with microwave measurements of
blood and the developers of clinically-oriented microwave systems.

Abstract:
The biomedical industry has prominently grown during the last decades that has led to the
introduction of new non-invasive techniques in the medical field. Particularly, microwave and mm-wave
spectroscopy are good candidates for such goals. Recently, we have demonstrated that mm-wave
spectroscopy in the W-band has great potential for the non-invasive detection of hyperglycemia
typically associated to diabetes using animal models. In such approach a clear discrimination, based on
blind classification, between hyperglycemic and control cases was achieved. In this work, the same
spectroscopic technique is used to dynamically detect and monitor drug-induced diabetes on a group
of mice. Our results provide strong evidence that sustained glycemic fluctuations can be closely
followed by the proposed method with a temporal resolution of a few days.

Abstract:
The paper addresses power dissipation within the output filter of a buck-converter-based envelope
amplifier (EA) and its effect on the overall envelope tracking (ET) system efficiency. For a 57 W
peak-power GaN-based ET system operating at 1620 MHz and 40 V supply, the power dissipated in the
EA output filter is compared to the power loss in the entire ET system. Three different fourth-order LC
low-pass filters with 10 MHz cut-off frequency are investigated regarding their load-dependent
dissipated power during static and dynamic EA operation, i.e., with constant and modulated EA output
voltages, for an 8 MHz OFDM-modulated RF input signal. It is found that the portion of the power
dissipated in the filter constitutes a considerable part of the overall power dissipation of the ET system
for a wide range of output power. Alternative filters of similar order and cut-off frequency show an
estimated EA efficiency difference of up to 5% points. Furthermore, the investigations show that
considering the static case alone, where the filter is loaded by a fixed impedance, may lead to totally
wrong conclusions for more realistic dynamic conditions in the ET system.

Abstract:
This paper presents a study of supply modulation of a Doherty power amplifier (DPA) designed for
linear operation. The symmetrical DPA is designed with Wolfspeed 6-W packaged devices for operation
at 3.5 GHz with a peak output power of 42dBm and a peak power-added efficiency (PAE) of 55%. Supply
modulation is characterized statically when the main and auxiliary amplifier supply voltages are
modulated separately, as well as simultaneously. The DPA is then characterized with 60-MHz LTE-like
signals with 6 dB and 10 dB peak-to-average power ratios (PAPR). After digital pre-distortion using an
iterative learning control algorithm, the composite PAE for a 10-dB PAPR signal is 38.7%, with
mean-square error (NMSE) and ACLR values of 0.3% and -47 dBc.

Versatility, Bandwidth and Efficiency: Digital GaN-Based Switch-Mode

Supply Modulators
Authors:
Page 523 – 526
Abstract:
In this paper the versatility of ultra-fast and, at the same time, high-power capable digital electronics is
demonstrated. An electronic switch based on 0.25μm GaN HEMT technology, originally designed as a
digital microwave power amplifier, is reconfigured for different applications with the goal of extending
the modulation bandwidth and efficiency of envelope tracking concepts. When configured as a DC/DC
converter for continuous supply modulation a modulation bandwidth of 300MHz is demonstrated
using a clock frequency of 9.4 GHz for the low-pass delta sigma modulator. When configured as a
class-G discrete supply modulator, excellent rise and fall times below 112 ps (10% to 90%) are achieved.
This allows minimum pulse widths below 1 ns and IQ modulation bandwidth in the GHz range.

Dynamic Over-Voltage Operation of a Discrete-Level Supply-Modulated

GaN-Based RF PA
Authors:
Nikolai Wolff, Wolfgang Heinrich, Olof Bengtsson, FBH, Germany
Page 527 – 530
Abstract:
In this paper an investigation for increasing the peak output power of a GaN-based RF power amplifier
(PA) by dynamically operating it at a higher supply voltage is presented. The PA is operated with a high
peak-to-average power ratio signal with 100 MHz instantaneous modulation bandwidth and
discrete-level (class-G) supply modulation. For the peak power levels the supply voltage is switched by
the class-G modulator from 40 to 60 V. This increases the peak output power by 1 dB but has a very
low negative impact, since the high-voltage pulses are too short to cause self-heating in the GaN-HEMT
device. Modulated measurements with digital predistortion linearization also show a 1 dB increase in
average output power without linearity degradation. With this over-voltage operation, the peak output
power density of the GaN HEMT can be increased from 4.9 W/mm to 6.4 W/mm.

Page 531 – 534
Abstract:
In this paper we demonstrate performance enhancements of peak power and efficiency of a Doherty
amplifier through the application of Gate Bias Modulation (GBM) of the peaking amplifier. To prove out
the architecture, a symmetrical Doherty amplifier has been designed around two NXP LDMOS power
transistors targeting frequencies from 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz. Measured performance indicates that
GBM offers more than a 1 dB increase in peak power while also improving efficiency by 3 percentage
points. Further, we show that a GBM Doherty amplifier can be linearized using Digital Pre-Distortion
(DPD) to achieve better than 52 dB adjacent channel power ratio when amplifying a three carrier — long
term evolution (LTE) signal.

Planar RF Duplexer with Multiple Levels of Transfer-Function

Reconfigurability
Authors:

Page 535 – 538
Abstract:
This paper reports on the RF design of planar RF duplexers with unprecedented levels of
transfer-function adaptivity. These reconfiguration capabilities include center-frequency tuning,
bandwidth (BW) tuning, and intrinsic RF switching-off. The proposed RF duplexer concept is based on
the connection of two three-pole/two-transmission-zero (TZ) bandpass filters (BPFs) that exhibit
fully-reconfigurable quasi-elliptic-type transfer functions, so that they can be exploited for the
independent control of its transmit and receive channels. For experimental-validation purposes, a
microstrip RF duplexer prototype was designed, manufactured, and measured in the 1.4–2 GHz band.
Its channels show center-frequency tuning ratio of 1.3:1, BW tuning ratio of 5:1, and can be intrinsically
switched-off in an independent way.

A New Adaptive Reconfigurable Bandpass Filter with Flexible

Resonance Control
Authors:
Runqi Zhang, Ching-Hsuan Shao, Dimitrios Peroulis, Purdue University, USA
Page 539 – 542
Abstract:
A new adaptive reconfigurable bandpass filter (BPF) has been proposed in this paper. It has the
frequency tuning capability of a normal reconfigurable filter, as well as the ability to change the filter
order and bandwidth. The proposed filter structure is divided into two parts; the core filter and the
adaptive resonators. The core filter, whose resonant frequencies are always in the filter’s passband, is
analyzed using an even-odd mode method. The resonant frequencies from the adaptive resonators are
then compared to the ones from the even-odd modes in the core filter. It is found that when the
resonant frequencies of the adaptive resonators match those of the even and odd modes, the filter
order is two and a narrow bandwidth is obtained. If both the adaptive resonator frequencies are far
removed from the even-odd mode frequencies of the core filter, a forth order wide band response is
observed. In between these two cases, a third order filter with an intermediate bandwidth can be
obtained. Another advantage of the proposed BPF is that its response contains two transmission
zeroes on either side of the passband, improving out-of-band rejection. This mechanism is a result of
the adaptive resonators creating a bandstop structure in the rejection band. To verify the discussion, a
prototype filter has been experimentally implemented. It demonstrates flexibility in frequency tuning,
filter order switching and bandwidth control.

Abstract:
A class of electronically-reconfigurable quasi-elliptic-type compact bandpass filter (BPF) for application
in the intermediate-frequency (IF) stages of modern satellite-communications receivers is presented. By
means of dynamic transmission-zero (TZ), external-quality-factor, and pole control, it allows to obtain
an ultra-large bandwidth-tuning ratio with enhanced in-band amplitude-flatness characteristics in its
adaptive transfer function. This is achieved while keeping the BPF inter-resonator couplings static,
which results in lower in-band insertion-loss levels. The coupling-matrix foundations and theoretical
synthesis examples of the engineered tunable BPF concept are presented. Furthermore, for
experimental demonstration, a 1-GHz three-pole/ two-TZ varactor-tuned microstrip BPF prototype is
developed and measured. It exhibits a 1-dB-bandwidth-tuning ratio of 13.9:1 that goes from
ultra-wideband to narrow-band states with minimum in-band insertion loss in the range 1.2–6.4 dB.

Compensation Circuits
Authors:
Yasushi Itoh, Xiaole Weng, Shiori Omokawa, Shonan Institute of Technology, Japan
Page 547 – 550
Abstract:
A bandwidth-tunable active bandstop filter with variable loss compensation circuits is presented in the
paper. The active bandstop filter uses a dual-resonant circuit in the feedback path of the differential
amplifier for tuning bandwidth as well as a series resonant circuit in the load for compensating losses.
The implemented active bandstop filter has achieved a variable center frequency of 0.74 to 1.2GHz
with a rejection level of 21.8 to 23.6dB. Moreover, the active bandstop filter has provided a 10dB
fractional bandwidth of 41.8 to 74.2% with a rejection level of 13.6 to 33.6dB. Typical loss
compensation was 10 to 16dB. This is the first time to present a bandwidth-tunable active bandstop
filter having a variable loss compensation circuit.

Mixed-Technology Quasi-Reflectionless Planar Bandpass Filters

Page 551 – 554
Abstract:
This paper reports on the RF design of mixed-technology quasi-reflectionless planar bandpass filters
(BPFs). They are based on a hybrid integration scheme in which microstrip resonators are effectively
combined with lumped-element ones for size compactness. By loading the input and output ports of a
first-order BPF with first-order bandstop-filter (BSF) sections that exhibit complementary transfer
function with regard to the BPF one, a symmetric quasi-reflectionless behaviour can be obtained at both
accesses of the overall filter. The first-order quasi-absorptive BPF cell can be extended to
higher-rejection realizations by cascading in series multiple first-order stages and merging their
interconnecting BSF sections. For experimental-validation purposes, two quasi-absorptive BPF
prototypes (one- and two-stage schemes, respectively) centred at 2 GHz were designed, manufactured,
and measured. They exhibit return-loss (RL) levels higher than 10 dB over fractional bandwidths (FBWs)
of 117% and 111%, respectively.

Abstract:
A high-linearity 5.3–7.0 GHz three-pole tunable bandpass filters has been developed. Three
half-wavelength resonators loaded with commercial RF MEMS capacitors are used in a sequential
configuration to implement a compact tunable filter. All the inter-stage couplings are inductive type,
and input and output matching networks are achieved using shunt inductors. The measured insertion
loss and 1-dB fractional bandwidth are less than 5.3 dB and 510–620 MHz, respectively. The measured
IIP3 is greater than 45 dBm at all tuning frequencies. The application areas are for high-linearity
communication systems at C-band and IF tunable bandpass filters.

Abstract:
This paper presents experimental results on RF-MEMS capacitors with improved power handling. A
silicon nitride shell, protects the switched capacitor. A fixed RF-electrode is deposited above shell, and
deflects the membrane upwards when a bias voltage is applied increasing the capacitance. The device
can handle CW RF power, by using the high-resistivity silicon substrate as a counter electrode. By
applying an appropriate bias voltage on the moveable electrode, the beam can be deflected towards the
substrate, and counter the effects of RF Power. The key advantage of this structure is its ability to
handle high power signals up to 5 W, under hot switching conditions, for more than 500 million cycles,
without the need for high bias voltage. The proposed principle has been demonstrated on a 18.4–49.3
fF, 70×50μm2 MEMS elementary switched capacitor, with control voltages less than 30 Volts.

Abstract:
This work presents a characterization technique and an EM-model for a thin film BST50 varactor grown
on the oxide electrode material SMO, describing the benefits and limits of this characterization
technique. Effective capacitance, Q factor, ESR and leakage current are evaluated and analyzed to
understand the dominating mechanisms for the overall characteristic. The Q factor for this 13.3 pF
varactor is 20.5 at 1 GHz. The extracted permittivity is 365, indicating a good BST crystal quality
despite only 80 nm film thickness. The tunability at battery voltage level 3.7 V bias voltage (46 V/μm)
is 67.8%. The EM model shows very high Q factors up to 6 GHz, revealing outstandingly high potential
for this oxide varactor with Q factors of up to 70 at 1 GHz, while still maintaining its large tunability.
Hence, the ability to epitaxially grow BST on structurally similar SMO allows for very thin BST
thicknesses with very low defect density, and thus, very high tunability at very low voltage below 3.7
volts.

Abstract:
A suppression approach based on double metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures is presented,
accounting for parasitic acoustic resonances in fully-printed, ferroelectric MIM varactors. Varactors
based on the ferroelectric material barium-strontium-titanate (BST) can operate in high-power matching
circuits with ratings up to 1 kW. Piezoelectric induced acoustic resonances reduce the power handling
capabilities of these varactors by lowering the Q-factor at the operational frequency of 13.56 MHz. In
this work, varactors based on a double MIM structure are presented, implementing an acoustic
suppression technique based on destructive interference. A maximum increase in Q-factor from 4.7 to
63.4 is achieved with a resonance free spectrum from 10MHz to 20 MHz.

Pulse-Distortion Analysis for Millimeter-Wave Time-Domain Material

Identification
Authors:
Sebastian Heunisch, Lars Ohlsson, Lars-Erik Wernersson, Lund University, Sweden
Page 572 – 575
Abstract:
Analyzing the frequency dependent dielectric properties can be used to identify and distinguish
materials in biomedical instruments. In the millimeter-wave range, the dielectric properties of
biological tissues are mainly determined by their water content. For instance, it has been shown, that
cancer cells have a lower water content than healthy skin cells, resulting in a significant dielectric
contrast between them. In this work, we analyze the pulse distortion observed in measurements of the
millimeter-wave reflection of water and porcine skin. We propose to use the distortion caused by the
frequency dependent reflection coefficient at the interface of a material as a feature for identification.
Using a simplified model for the reflection coefficient of the material under test, we simulate the
distortion caused by the frequency dispersion. In simulation as well as in measurement, we observe
different startup transients depending on the dispersion properties of a material under test. The
startup behavior can therefore be used as feature, to directly identify dispersive materials in the time
domain.

Abstract:
This work describes the use of millimetre wave technology to extract the dielectric constants of
different types of dielectric materials. The extraction of the dielectric materials is based on
measurements (i.e., monostatic measurements) of the reflection coefficient for various dielectric
materials. The measurements are done by utilizing a frequency modulated continuous wave radar with
a dielectric lens antenna. The investigated materials are broadly utilized as a part of our everyday life.
The fundamental dielectric materials outcomes are done for the following accompanying materials:
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), mainly Teflon, nylon, and. The measurements are done in the frequency
range from 207 GHz to 247 GHz.

Abstract:
This paper introduces a new paradigm in the electromagnetic (EM) analysis of largely inhomogeneous
nanostructures. It is shown that the high degree of inhomogeneity may render the traditional
discretisation of such topologies problematic. A new discretisation scheme that is much better
matched to these topologies is proposed. The scheme involves a more adequate meshing and
discretisation formalism, in conjunction with an original combination of dual space-time EM field
quantities to be calculated. The pivotal field equations are elaborately discussed, with an emphasis on
their computational implications.

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel finite-difference solution of the time-domain three-dimensional (3-D)
Maxwell equations with a stability criterion relaxed from the discretization space steps in two
directions. This method is particularly useful and efficient for electromagnetic simulation of structures
having fine details in two Cartesian directions. During the algorithm iteration process, updating of only
the electric field is required. In comparison to other Weakly Conditional FDTD (WCS-FDTD) algorithms,
the proposed method is shown to be computationally more efficient in terms of run time because the
implicit updating equations can be solved simultaneously (in parallel) by applying multithreading;
while in the earlier WCS-FDTD methods, simultaneous solution of the implicit updating equations was
not feasible. The high computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated
by producing a numerical example and providing comparison to the results obtained using methods
available in the literature.

Abstract:
This paper presents the design and characterisation of a new liquid crystal (LC) based single-pole
double-throw (SPDT) with continuously adjustable power splitting ratio in low temperature co-fired
ceramic (LTCC) technology. It is designed for a centre frequency of 30GHz, including a key component,
the fully embedded LC phase shifter in stripline topology. The SPDT shows a good matching with |S11 |
= -10dB over a bandwidth of 18%. It exhibits an insertion loss of 9dB to 11dB and an isolation between
22dB to 32dB. The continuous tuneability not only allows the selection of each preferred power
splitting ratio at the output ports, but also a tuning of the centre frequency. The high insertion loss
arises from a certain surface roughness as well as a decreased conductivity of the gold metallisation
used.

A Tunable Series Negative Capacitor Using Distributed Amplifier-Based

Reconfigurable Negative Group Delay Circuit
Authors:
Minning Zhu, Chung-Tse Michael Wu, Rutgers, USA
Page 616 – 619
Abstract:
A novel tunable non-Foster negative capacitor with unconditional stability using a two-stage microwave
distributed amplifier (DA) based negative group delay (NGD) is presented. The tuning mechanism is
realized by changing both the transistor’s transconductance and input/output phase responses. To
achieve this, the transistors placed at each stage of the DA are tuned separately, and two identical
varactors placed at the input port and output port are tuned by one single voltage. As
proof-of-concept, a prototype of the proposed DA-NGD circuit based tunable negative capacitor is built
and tested. The measurement results show that, the negative capacitor can be successfully tuned
between -0.5 pF to -1.0 pF.

Authors:
Björn Deutschmann, Arne F. Jacob, Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg, Germany
Page 620 – 623
Abstract:
This paper describes the development of ultra-broadband compact power dividers for the frequency
range from 2 to 40 GHz. A multi-section approach with reduced line lengths of the successive sections
is used to achieve this large bandwidth at a minimal size. The resistors needed for an acceptable
isolation are manufactured by lithographically structuring a conductive paste on top of microstrip
lines. Thus, the entire device is planar and enables the integration in multilayer printed circuit board
(PCB) stacks. The design is demonstrated with a three (five) section divider, which occupies less than
5mm2 (16mm2 ) of surface area. The insertion loss is below 3.8 dB (4.7 dB) from 1 to 40 GHz, while all
ports exhibit more than 10 dB match. The isolation exceeds 10 dB above 6 GHz (2.5 GHz).

Using Vertically Installed Planar Bridge Isolator
Authors:
Ahmed Moulay, Tarek Djerafi, INRS-EMT, Canada
Page 624 – 627
Abstract:
This paper proposes a four-way power divider and combiner based on Luzzatto power divider (LPD)
with optimal isolation network study. New implementation based on vertically installed planar isolator
permits to have even more number of power way. The LPD rules are derived from the most popular
Wilkinson divider. To overcome the 2-D topology limitation, the vertical planar structure has been
exploited to realize a bridge isolator between opposite ports. Measurement results shows more than 20
dB of isolation between each two ports and bandwidth of 40% at the operating frequency of 10 GHz.
Lower loss, broader bandwidth and simple structure, makes the proposed design a proper candidate
for high isolation applications.

Abstract:
This paper presents two types of modified CPW Wilkinson power dividers at X-band using GaN MMIC
technology on a SiC substrate. Lumped element equivalents of the transmission line arms are used and
they are capacitively loaded to achieve a reduced circuit size of λ/14 × λ/8. A symmetrical series RLC
circuit in the isolation network is used to compensate for the bandwidth degradation after circuit
miniaturization maintaining a fractional bandwidth of 29% for input/output return losses and isolation
better than 20 dB with an extra insertion loss less than 0.35 dB.

Page 632 – 635
Abstract:
Due to the high importance of power amplifiers in telecommunication systems, it is extremely critical
to analyse the performance and behaviour of all their structural components. One of the most
important properties of various elements of a power amplifier that is to be taken into account is their
frequency dependence. It is also very well known that the power amplifier gain exhibits temperature
variability. Therefore, a detailed analysis of each component that may introduce this variability is
needed including those components that are purposefully introduced to provide the gain
compensation over temperature. The temperature variable attenuators are used to provide the gain
compensation over temperature. They are also characterized by very strong frequency dependence due
to parasitic effects which poses a serious issue at high frequencies (10 GHz and above). These effects
are usually caused by thick-film thermistor pastes used for printing resistive elements in the geometry
of the attenuator. These parasitics result in gradual reduction of the attenuation shift in accordance
with the temperature increase. The aim of this paper is to present a technique to quantify these
parasitic effects based on the expected and measured resistances of the thermistor products, designed
and produced by Smiths Interconnect.

Page 636 – 639
Abstract:
This work introduces a new design approach of multilayer Electromagnetic Band Gaps (EBGs) for
wideband antenna isolation in a Full-Duplex transceiver. The design methodology is applied to a
conventional type of EBGs in order to improve its initial performance in terms of bandwidth and size.
By stacking multiple dielectric layers with integrated vias, an enhancement of the relative bandwidth of
the band gap and a strong miniaturization of the unit cell is achieved. The dispersion diagrams of the
proposed EBGs are studied and full-wave electromagnetic simulations are realized to validate the
isolation level and the proposed lumped model of the final structures.

Page 640 – 643
Abstract:
This paper presents a compact substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) sensor combining slow-wave and
air-filled technologies for humidity environment detection. Designed in a multilayer
printed-circuit-board process, the proposed sensor operates at 5.8 GHz, in the industrial, scientific and
medical (ISM) frequency band. Since the permittivity of the air depends on its relative humidity, the
detection is obtained by measuring the resonant frequency shift of a SIW resonator. Whereas air-filled
technology allows improving sensitivity detection, slow-wave effect allows both concentrating the
electric field in the air and reducing the size of the sensor. Hence, a surface area reduction of the
resonator cavity of 41% and 75% is obtained as compared to the partially air-filled SIW and the fully
air-filled SIW, respectively. A good agreement between the numerical EM simulation and the
experimental result without humidity variation is obtained. Moreover, thanks to the concentration of
the electric field in the air region of the cavity, simulation results show that a sensor sensitivity of 973
kHz/RH can be expected. It allows validating the interest of combining slow-wave SIW and air-filled
technology for humidity sensing application.

Printing Technology
Authors:
Fengzhou Wang, Tughrul Arslan, University of Edinburgh, UK
Page 644 – 647
Abstract:
In this paper, a novel rotationally tunable artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is proposed for antenna
enhancements. The designed AMC unit cell consists of two rotational elements which are designed by
using 3-D printing technology. The operating frequency range of the multiband AMC shifts as the
rotational elements move in different angles. Simulations are carried out in CST Microwave Studio
(MWS) in order to demonstrate the phase reflection change by using the proposed mechanical
structure. Results show that the proposed AMC provides a stable narrow-band-pass operation
bandwidth of 0.2 GHz at low-frequency range and a wide band-pass operation bandwidth of 1.4 GHz at
higher frequency ranges. The results also show a stable frequency shift response as rotation angles of
incidence go up to 90◦ . The proposed AMC structure can also provide a band-stop frequency response.

Shuai Yang, Su Zhen, Atif Shamim, KAUST, Saudi Arabia
Page 652 – 654
Abstract:
In this paper, a fully inkjet printed mm-wave band pass filter on a flexible substrate is presented.
Firstly, a side-coupled ring resonator is designed to extract substrate’s dielectric properties at
mm-wave frequency band. Then, a parallel coupled microstrip transmission line filter is designed at 88
GHz frequency band with 10 GHz bandwidth. The filter has been fabricated by inkjet printing without
making any vias. Very small feature sizes of ∼20 μm have been reliably printed through new super
inkjet printing technology. In addition, a Co-planar waveguide (CPW) transmission line and a
CPW-to-microstrip transition have also been fabricated for comparison purpose. The filter’s center
frequency is 85.75 GHz with 20 GHz bandwidth, with potential applications fixed and mobile satellite
communications. The insertion loss is ∼5.8 dB, and overall return loss is below -10 dB. The rejection is
lower than -20 dB.

Abstract:
This paper describes the design, simulation and practical results of a phase modulator based in an
hybrid coupler and two varactor diodes in the band from 2.0 GHz to 3.0 GHz for TTC proposes. A
minimum modulation index of 1.22 was obtained at the highest frequency to 1.57 at the lowest. This
modulator consist of a two stages hybrid coupler with varactor diodes. Simulation is performed using
ADS 2016.01. Even both varactor diodes are feed by the same modulation signal, each of them has his
own voltage input for correct varactor impairments. In the measures, excellent isolation is achieved for
the 1st and 4th port of the ring.

Abstract:
This paper presents a new dual-frequency coaxial cavity resonator and its potential in the
implementation of a new class of four port filters that provide cost and volume efficient solutions for
emerging multiband base transceiver stations (BTS). The proposed concept delivers in a single physical
structure two virtually independent bandpass filters without significant sacrifices in design or
manufacturing complexity as well as performance. This is achieved by introducing within a single
cavity two coaxial stubs for two independent frequency bands. Experimental results on a fabricated
prototype demonstrate the validity of the concept and the potential of its implementation.

Top-Layer Wideband Transition from Waveguide to Planar Differential

Line for 60GHz Applications
Authors:
Sergey Churkin, Andrey Mozharovskiy, Alexander Myskov, Alexey Artemenko, Roman Maslennikov,
Radio Gigabit, Russia
Page 663 – 666
Abstract:
The paper describes a waveguide to planar differential line transition realized on Rogers RO4350B
substrate and operating in the V band. The transition is based on a differentially-fed patch radiating
element that excites a rectangular waveguide through a compact U-shaped metal adapter. The
response of a single transition has been extracted from the measurement results of the fabricated
back-to-back structure using a TRL calibration standard realized on the same substrate. It also allowed
to accurately calibrate the differential line loss. The transition provides maximum 0.8 dB insertion loss
and more than 15 dB return loss over the 57–64 GHz frequency band, whereas differential line loss of
1.3 dB per centimeter is mainly determined by the chosen substrate material. High performance and
cost-effective design makes the proposed transition highly promising for different mmWave
transceivers and for verification of custom planar devices using standard waveguide test equipment.

Abstract:
A new stripline fabricated using MnFe2 O4 nanoparticle thick films is demonstrated to have multiband
frequency selectivity and high attenuation range. Using the Solution Cast method, thick MnFe2 O4
nanoparticles films were fabricated on the 45 mm × 14 mm Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) substrate to
have an average film thickness of about 30 μm, which was inserted into the trench area of the stripline.
The stripline was measured over the frequency range of 0–18 GHz at four different RF input power
levels spanning from -22 dBm to -7 dBm with a 5 dB steps. The Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) effects
are observed when the DC magnetic field bias is applied to the stripline under all four power levels. In
particular, the FMR effects appear successively within five frequency bands, namely 4–8 GHz, 5–10
GHz, 8–13 GHz, 12–16 GHz and 15–18 GHz, as the magnetic field strength increases. The exact FMR
frequencies under specific magnetic bias strength can be located by calculating the absolute power
absorption rate of the MnFe2 O4 nanoparticles. In addition, more attenuation is observed under
stronger bias and the absolute power absorption increases as the RF input power gets larger. This work
presents for the first time the characterization of thick MnFe2 O4 nanoparticle film in terms of the FMR
effect using the 3D printed stripline structure, which can be used to fabricate the Frequency Selective
Limiter (FSL) in a wide range of power-sensitive, broadband RF and microwave applications.

Surfaces

Jennifer A. Byford, Christopher Oakley, Premjeet Chahal, Michigan State University, USA
Page 671 – 674
Abstract:
Two different additive manufacturing methods are employed to pattern a curved plastic surface with a
frequency selective structure (FSS). Here, a dielectric lens is used as a proof of concept for a curved
surface and the FSS is a bandstop filter designed to operate near 150 GHz. An aerosol jet printing
process is used to directly print the FSS onto a planar surface and a lens structure. Additionally, a
patterned FSS is demonstrated by printing the test structures with the pattern pre-inset into the
dielectric, sputtering them with copper, and then selectively removing the copper from the
unpatterned area. This procedure is also known as a damascene-like process. Structures are printed
using a Formlabs Form 2 printer, which uses a stereolithography (SLA) technology, and a clear colored
high temperature curing resin as the build material. Simulations are performed using ANSYS HFSS and
measurements were taken using an Emcore frequency domain THz system.

Page 675 – 678
Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a waffle type waveguide for Ku-band application. For the first time, we
fabricated and evaluated the waffle type waveguide. The waffle type waveguide consists of rectangular
structure and waffle type structure for electromagnetic wave transmission and attenuation,
respectively. Bosses are periodically arrayed horizontally in waffle type structure and they are
confronted vertically each other with air gap, which act as a low pass filter. The waveguide operation in
Ku-band was confirmed by finite element simulation. Moreover, the waveguide firstly fabricated by
machining was evaluated by S-parameter measurements. As a result, the measurement results well
agreed with the simulation ones. We firstly and successfully verified the operation of the waffle type
waveguide. We also achieved low transmission loss, and low reflection below 20 dB over wide
frequency range from 15.2 GHz to 23.0 GHz which corresponds to a 40.8% fractional band width.

Abstract:
We propose a novel concept of the infinite-area isovolumetric transformation for electromagnetic
invisibility cloaks. It is mathematically shown that the cloak based on the proposed transformation can
be implemented by a nonmagnetic uniform medium. A corner cloak is designed and the required
permittivity tensor and permeability are calculated. We demonstrate the operation of the corner cloak
based on the equivalent circuit of full-tensor anisotropic media and the validity of the proposed
concept is shown.

Bandpass Phase Correction Methodology for Ladder-Type Acoustic

Filters
Authors:
Iuliia Evdokimova, Jordi Verdú, Pedro de Paco, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain
Page 683 – 686
Abstract:
Phase matching of ladder-type filters based on micro-acoustic technology is an important part of
duplexer and multiplexer design. However, it cannot be straightforwardly applied in direct bandpass
synthesis methodologies because of essential differences between lowpass and bandpass approaches.
A novel filtering function able to accommodate a new phase control term is proposed in this paper.
Taking into account the phase correction from the beginning of the synthesis provides additional
advantages in the network design.

Abstract:
In this paper, a new method for ultra-wide band (UWB) bandpass filter design is proposed. This new
filter is fabricated using varnish to obtain a multilayer technology, which achieves complex filter
structures meeting very hard electrical specifications. Moreover, it has a lower production cost
compared to classical multilayer technologies like Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) and
Organic Substrate Technologies (OST). In first, our objective is to improve the wide band performances
and rejection with this new technology. In particular, the coupling between the resonators is increased
by superposing resonators or floating metallic patches using varnish. The benefits of the proposed
method are also illustrated with simulations and experimental results. The fabricated varnish filter
reaches an ultra-wide fractional bandwidth of 100% and a good level of rejection out of the bandwidth.
These proposed filters can be used in communication and radar systems.

Iris-Loaded Waveguides
Authors:
Hidenori Yukawa, Yu Ushijima, Takeshi Yuasa, Naofumi Yoneda, Moriyasu Miyazaki, Mitsubishi Electric,

Page 691 – 694
Abstract:
We propose a 180-degree branch line coupler composed of two types of iris-loaded waveguides. The
proposed coupler consists of two main transmission lines and branch lines with different electrical
lengths. Optimal electrical lengths enable to achieve 180-degree output phase difference without
additional phase shifters. The two main lines with different electrical lengths are realized by capacitive
and inductive iris-loaded waveguides. We designed a proposed coupler in K-band. The size of the
proposed coupler is almost same as the usual 90-degree branch line coupler. So the proposed coupler
presents an advantage of compactness, in comparison with the conventional 180-degree coupler with
additional phase shifters. The design results demonstrated a return loss of 22dB, an isolation of 25dB,
a coupling response of 3dB+/-0.1dB, phase differences of 0deg+5/-1deg and 180deg+5/-1deg with a
bandwidth of 8% in the K-band.

Page 695 – 698
Abstract:
This paper proposes the use of asynchronously coupled resonator junctions in the design of a
masthead combiner (MHC). By employing the resonator junctions, a miniaturised circuit is achieved
without using any transmission-line based impedance matching circuits. The main challenge in the
design is the control and implementation of the external couplings at the common ports of this
all-resonator-based MHC. A four-port microstrip MHC operating at the two channels of 1.8 and 2.1 GHz
has been demonstrated with a bandwidth of 1.764 GHz to 1.836 GHz and 2.058 GHz to 2.142 GHz,
respectively. Good agreements have been achieved between the measurements of the prototype
devices and the simulations.

Abstract:
Temperature dependence is shown of fifth-order Chebyshev bandpass filters (BPFs) built of silica-based
post-wall waveguide for millimeter-wave applications. The measured frequency drift of the three BPFs
with the center frequencies of 59 GHz, 73 GHz and 84 GHz were 10.12 ppm/◦ C, 9.56 ppm/◦ C and 11.91

Abstract:
This paper presents balanced diplexer design using multi-layered substrate integrated waveguide
cavities (SIWCs). Four SIWCs are employed in the diplexer design, and each of the two duplexing bands
is created by two vertically stacked SIWCs. Two types of the diplexers are proposed, one is the single
mode resonance of the SIWC, and the other is the dual-mode resonance. The former has its SIWC either
an TE102 or TE201 mode resonance and the latter is under the dual-mode (both TE102 and TE201 )
operation. A paired CPW is used to form the balanced common port and the SMAs are applied in the
balanced duplexing ports. The dual-mode diplexer exhibits a wider bandwidth and sharper band-edges
than those of the single-mode due to the dual-mode’s double circuit order effect. Experiments are
conducted to verify the circuit design and reasonable agreements are observed between the measured
and simulated data.

From Component to System Level, Modeling Needs Bring New

Measurement Challenges
Authors:
Zacharia Ouardirhi, Tony Gasseling, AMCAD Engineering, France
Page 711
Abstract:
In a very general way, Radio frequency (RF) and microwave communications systems consist of signal
transmission and reception circuits, called “Front-End RF” circuits. Their uses in wireless
communications infrastructures are numerous for civil and defense applications. As an example, they
are deployed in GPS receivers, public safety radios, receivers and transmitters of base stations for
mobile telephony, digital television and all connected objects in a more general way. For defense
applications, they are also deployed in tactical communications systems, ground or onboard radar, and
electronic warfare systems. The design of current “Front-End RF” systems is increasingly complex and
therefore costly. Part of this complexity is related to the constant increase in data rates, which requires
systems capable of operating on different frequency bands, for stringent communication standards,
using at the best, existing infrastructure. The increase in the cost of developing these systems is linked
to stronger integration constraints on both analog and digital parts. This increased complexity pushes
RF system designers to use more advanced design software tools to minimize the risk of failures and
improve their chances of first pass design.

Abstract:
In this paper, performance evaluation and system level simulation results for a communication
architecture based on LTE base stations and Moving Relay Nodes (MRNs) with multiuser
Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) capacity, deployed on high speed railways (HSR), are presented.
In the proposed architecture, each MRN and base station (DeNB) performs ordinary diversity MIMO
transmission and reception. It will be shown that a communication system with MRNs and DeNBs with
2×2, 2×4 and 4×4 MIMO capacity provide significant improvements to the throughput achievable by
passengers. In addition to this, results on the throughput of other users (macro-cell users) located in
cells through which the train moves are also presented. It will be confirmed that the use of MIMO
techniques has substantial benefits for the capacity of the MRN regardless of the number of macro and
on-board users.

Abstract:
A low complexity and cost-effective automated test method for estimation and compensation of
combined TX/RX IQ imbalance and calibration of the phased array antenna elements in millimeter
wave transceivers integrated with an antenna in package has been presented and validated. The
proposed technique is an effective way of characterizing phase and amplitude imbalances even for a
DUT (Device Under Test) that does not provide a direct access to the internal Local Oscillator (LO) or a
divided version of that. A high-resolution digital-to-analog converter is used to provide analog input IQ
signals to the input of transmitter chip and an analog-to-digital converter is used to digitize the output
IQ voltages. The required voltage values equivalent to I and Q signals are generated in MATLAB or
using the internal integrated processor and then applied to the IQ input of the radio transceiver. For
the test in this approach, the transmitter and receiver can be either directly connected through a cable
to waveguide or coupled through the antennas. By comparing input and output signals in the proposed
setup, IQ imbalances are extracted and used for amplitude and phase compensation. Additionally, the
method can be used for calibration of phased array transceivers. This approach can be periodically
applied for different levels of the input power and over various conditions throughout the life time of
the system in the field. Measurement results for a 60-GHz radio transceiver in package shows a very
good agreement with the simulated ones and validates the proposed method.

Abstract:
This paper proposes the high Accuracy frequency detection method by using 1 to mth harmonics. In
the proposed method, frequencies of harmonics are detected, and the sum of them is divided by the
sum of these orders. The proposed method improves the frequency detection accuracy by (m+1)/(2
√
m) as compared with the conventional method using only the mth harmonic. The improvement of the
frequency detection accuracy is derived from formulation and is confirmed by simulation and
measurement results.

in such new setting of interdisciplinary research consortia as in most cases a common language must be defined.
In such circumstances one cannot assume to have a strong publication record even in the first two years of
funding and cooperation. However, a good measure in basic science is the publication record and the impact of
such a work. To ensure a high quality research work one should take a careful look on the time scales and allow
researchers to submit their results in high impact journals. Another point of delay in publishing might be a
complex and time-consuming experimental set-up or infrastructure, which is sometimes crucial and important to
move a certain research field forward. One aspect of my presentation will be on adapting these parameters for a
six year funding on the funding instrument called priority programme at the German Research Foundation.
Along the example of “High Frequency Flexible Bendable Electronics for Wireless Communication Systems” I will
show how to bring researchers together and try to shape an adequate funding programme including all relevant
aspects of research with the needed focus on the added value. Adaptive, flexible and energy efficient organic
electronics is a perfect platform to show how future engineering transforms our actual life and society.

Abstract:
The graphene-base heterojunction transistor (GBHT) is an attractive device concept to reach THz
operation frequencies. The novel transistor consists of two n-doped silicon layers with a graphene
monolayer in between. The structure of the device is similar to an n-p-n bipolar transistor with the
base being replaced by graphene. In this work, the current state of GBHT development at
TU-Dresden/IHP will be presented. First, the innovative non-destructive deposition technology for
n-a-Si:H on graphene will be highlighted. Next, the successful control of the graphene/ silicon
interfaces is described. Up to now, highly rectifying Schottky diodes (ION /IOFF 104 - 105 , +/- 1V) have
been achieved for both the BE and BC graphene-silicon interface. Finally, first GBHT prototypes were
prepared and analyzed. It is verified, that the vertical current between the (n)-a-Si:H layers is
successfully controlled by the ultra-thin graphene base voltage.

Abstract:
This paper presents the components and the design of a microwave receiver frontend based on
CVD-grown graphene on a flexible substrate. For the wideband sixport-receiver three different
branch-line couplers (BLCs) designs are evaluated under bending condition. As active elements
metal-insulator-graphene diodes (MIG) are designed and fabricated on a flexible substrate. For circuit
design the MIG diode is modelled with a SPICE-compatible large-signal model and compared to
measurements. Finally, a graphene-based six-port receiver frontend is designed with the passive and
active devices for microwave application around 5 GHz. This work, thus, presents the status of
graphene-based wireless receivers on flexible substrate.

RF Characterization and De-Embedding of Parasitic Device

Interconnects in a Metal-Oxide TFT Technology
Authors:
Utpal Kalita, Christian Tueckmantel, Thomas Riedl, Ullrich R. Pfeiffer, Bergische Universität Wuppertal,
Germany
Page 741 – 744
Abstract:
This paper describes the de-embedding procedure of a single ended metal-oxide thin-film transistor
(TFT) in order to remove the effect of the extrinsic interconnects and determine the intrinsic device
parameters. An eight-term scattering parameter (S-parameter) model of the two extrinsic ports has
been used for the de-embedding. For that purpose, calibration standards are designed in the same
technology and the S-parameters of the two extrinsic ports are determined. Due to difficulty in the
extraction of the known resistances of the implemented standards at the input port, only the extrinsic
input capacitance has been de-embedded from the S-parameters. The extrinsic shunt capacitances of
around 500 fF and 100 fF at the input and output port respectively were extracted based on a lumped
T-model. The transition frequency (fT ) of the intrinsic device is found to be around 67 MHz.

Coaxial Interfaces Using Coplanar Type H-Slot Resonators
Authors:
Takashi Shimizu, Kosuke Goto, Yoshinori Kogami, Utsunomiya University, Japan
Page 745 – 748
Abstract:
Millimeter wave bands will be used for 5G wireless communication system and so on. Therefore, a low
loss and narrowband millimeter wave filter used in such systems is required. In this paper, a low loss
narrowband 30-GHz bandpass filter with coaxial interfaces using coplanar type H-slot resonators with
a good spurious characteristic is proposed. The design procedure of the H-slot resonator with high-Q
value and wide frequency interval between a dominant mode and the next higher order mode is
presented. A packaged filter with coaxial interface is designed and fabricated. The frequency response
of the fabricated filter is verified the usefulness of the design procedure and the coplanar type H-slot
resonator.

Abstract:
In this paper, air-filled substrate integrated waveguide (AFSIW) bandpass filters based on quadruplet
through-hole mounted inductive posts are proposed and demonstrated. First, a comparison between
the conventional inductive iris coupling and the inductive post coupling is introduced. Both geometries
are compared in terms of performances and fabrication tolerance. A Monte Carlo analysis shows that
printed circuit board (PCB) drilling process is more accurate than machining process. Then, a study on
the internal coupling based on single inductive post is compared with its counterpart based on
quadruplet inductive posts. For demonstration purposes, a fourth-order bandpass filter centered at 21
GHz with 1.4% relative bandwidth is synthesized and fabricated. It achieves a -19 dB return loss with a
-0.73 dB insertion loss. The calculated unloaded quality factor of the prototyped bandpass filter is
1594. This fabrication-tolerant topology is of high interest for future systems on substrate. The
proposed low-cost and manufacturing tolerant filter structure is believed by the authors to contribute
to the democratization of the millimetre-wave spectrum earth resource.

Abstract:
This paper presents an efficient technique for the broadband suppression of spurious frequency bands
in substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filters. The technique is based on the combined use of a
regular SIW filter and a pre-filter, with a broader pass band and a much larger spurious-free band. The
effect is a limitation of the spurious frequency bands of the SIW filter, which are attenuated according
to an envelope corresponding to the transmission of the pre-filter. The proposed technique is validated
through an example, consisting of a three-pole SIW inline filter combined with a two-pole pre-filter with
shorted microstrip stubs.

Abstract:
Two three dimensional (3D) integrated System on Package (SoP) Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic
(LTCC) two-stage SIW single cavity filters with embedded planar resonators are designed, fabricated
and tested. The embedded resonators create a two-stage effect in a single cavity filter. The design with
a stripline ring around the center post of the cavity provides a 13% fractional bandwidth with a center
frequency of 28.21 GHz, and with an insertion loss of -0.82 dB. The design that feeds at the middle of a
stripline resonator provides a 15% fractional bandwidth at a center frequency of 28.12 GHz, and with
an insertion loss of -0.53 dB.

Abstract:
Two capacitor loaded planar resonators are introduced in a two-cavity substrate integrated waveguide
(SIW) structure to obtain a fourth order filter. The planar resonators each produce a transmission zero
by signal interference. Design methodology for a 5% bandwidth bandpass filter operating at 2.35 GHz
is presented in the paper. Two transmission zeroes are placed on either side of the filter passband to
obtain a quasi-elliptic response with a mid-band insertion loss of 1.65 dB. Good agreement is obtained
between measured and simulated responses of the single-layer printed circuit board (PCB) filter.

Rectenna Array with RF-Uncoupled Closely-Spaced Monopoles for

Autonomous Localization
Authors:
Marco Fantuzzi, Diego Masotti, Alessandra Costanzo, Università di Bologna, Italy
Page 765 – 768
Abstract:
The crucial role of a decoupling/matching network is demonstrated for the design of a compact
868-MHz double-antenna energy harvester, driving two different rectifiers branches for the efficient
powering of a wake-up radio (WUR)-enabled localization node. Two highly-coupled meandered
cross-polarized monopoles, located in close proximity, are adopted for orientation-insensitive
operations, thus requiring the design of a RF-decoupling and matching network before rectification.
The superior performance of the two-element harvester with respect to a standard single-monopole
rectenna is experimentally demonstrated in different conditions: it justifies the deployment of the
presented tag for the energy autonomy of future generation RFID tags for indoor localization.

Page 769 – 772
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a millimetre wave harvester consisting of a bow-tie antenna integrated with a
hafnium dioxide (HfO2 )-based metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diode, capable to rectify the incoming
electromagnetic radiation in the V band (i.e. 40–75 GHz). We reduced significantly the diode resistance,
thus improving antenna-diode matching, which is a major issue when using a MIM diode with a
differential resistance in the order of hundreds or thousands of kΩ. In detail, we designed, fabricated
and tested on a standard 4-inch silicon wafer a 61.6-GHz rectenna in which the vertical Au-HfO2 -Pt MIM
structure is integrated between antenna arms. The 6-nm-thick HfO2 single-layer guarantees a much
higher DC current density of almost 3×104 A/cm2 , in comparison with state-of-the-art single-layer MIM
diodes. This way, the proposed rectenna efficiently harvests up to 250 μV with -20 dBm of incoming
power, with a promising voltage responsivity of over 5 V/W. The results are very encouraging for their
practical exploitation in future low-power solutions for energetically-autonomous 5G terminal
equipment.

Analysis of Highly Efficient Self-Synchronous Class-F Microwave

Rectifiers Using Waveform Engineering
Authors:
Alexander Alt, Roberto Quaglia, Peng Chen, Sattam Alsahali, Paul J. Tasker, Jonathan Lees, Cardiff
University, UK
Page 773 – 776
Abstract:
In this paper, a class-F rectifier based on a 0.25 μm 6×80 μm GaN HEMT is investigated using a
waveform engineering load-pull/source-pull measurement system to emulate the required harmonic
impedance environment. The resulting voltage and current waveforms are de-embedded to the
intrinsic current generator plane and then analysed, allowing for the first time a detailed waveform
based investigation of this type of high efficiency microwave rectifier. The demonstrated rectifier is
shown to have an efficiency of more than 90% over an input power range of 12 dB, reducing to only 80%
over an input power range of 25 dB. The gate impedance condition for efficient self-synchronous
operation is analysed and verified using measurements. These measurements also demonstrate the
effect of an imperfect gate termination. Importantly, these measurements also present new insights
into dispersion between measured DC characteristic and the dynamic RF load-line. Despite exhibiting
dispersion in the first quadrant, no dispersion is observed in the third quadrant of the IV plane for
different DC load impedances and power levels and thus DC voltages.

Compact Planar Integrated Rectenna for Batteryless IoT Applications

Authors:
A. Takacs, A. Okba, H. Aubert, LAAS, France
Page 777 – 780
Abstract:
This paper addresses a new topology of compact rectennas in which the rectifier is integrated directly
on the radiating surface. The rectenna is designed for wireless power transmission or microwave
energy harvesting application in ISM 900 MHz band and exhibits a very good measured conversion
efficiency (>25%) on a non-optimal load (10kΩ) for very low microwave power densities (>0.18
μW/cm2 ). The measured DC voltage (>330 mV for microwave power density of at least 0.22 μW/cm2 )
obtained from this planar rectenna is in the range of the cold turn-on/start-up voltage of modern
commercial off-the-shelf DC-to-DC boost converters and power management units. The proposed
rectenna is also very compact: its physical surface (10.5 × 6 cm2 ) is only 5% of the square wavelength
at the operating frequency (860 MHz).

Abstract:
In this paper, a scheme for a direct coupling of the microwave radiation into a nonlinear
whispering-gallery mode (WGM) receiver is presented. This nonlinear receiver can be used for the
detection of the weak radiation for radio astronomy applications at room temperature. It depends on
the upconverting of the microwave signal into the optical domain through a nonlinear material. The
proposed scheme is able to provide a very high theoretical photonic efficiency with an enhancement
around 2–3 orders of magnitude in comparison to the state-of-the-art photonic efficiency of this
concept, to the best of the authors knowledge. It consists of two main parts, a metallic ring resonator,
and a Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA).

Silicon Nitride Integrated Optical Beamforming Network for Millimeter

Wave Photonics Systems
Authors:
Alvaro Morales, Idelfonso Tafur Monroy, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Page 785 – 788
Abstract:
This work presents the design of a 1×4 optical true time delay beamforming network integrated into a
Si3 N4 photonic chip for hybrid millimeter wave/photonic systems. The spectral periodicity of a ring
resonator-based tree structure is exploited to provide simultaneously the same delay configuration to
different gigabit optical channels, increasing the effective beamforming bandwidth. The free spectral
range is fixed to 33.3 GHz to assure the compatibility with wavelength division multiplexing
applications. The simulation results show that the progressive delay between outputs can be
continuously tuned from 0 ps to 20 ps. These values assure the operation at 60 GHz band.

Page 789 – 792
Abstract:
The ongoing progress and countless possibilities of the low-temperature co-fired ceramics technology
in combination with the fiber-optic technology will make future satellite payloads more flexible,
lightweight, and economical. Therefore, we have combined these two technologies by developing a
radio-over-fiber link where the alignment of fiber with respect to the optical source or detector is aided
by the ceramic multilayer technology. The performance of the radio-over-fiber link has been evaluated
by means of gain, noise figure, and spurious-free dynamic range at frequencies up to 10 GHz. A
functional proof of this optical link has been demonstrated by the transmission and reception of
digital video broadcasting signals over fiber.

Abstract:
A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) developed in a generic foundry platform for continuously tunable
microwave generation is presented. Two wavelength-tunable laser diodes monolithically integrated
with an optical waveguide coupler produce two-tone emission. By using an external photodiode for
mode beating, the two-tone emission supports the microwave generation. Continuous RF tones from
600 MHz to 23 GHz are experimentally demonstrated.

Abstract:
Implementation of photonic analog-to-digital convertor (ADC) using an optimal way of information
parallelizing at the level of circuit solutions can significantly improve the performance of the total
system (signal source - ADC - computing device). Traditional approach for fast photonic ADC uses
processing every time-neighbor sample of input signal by its own channel. For the input signals with
limited bandwidth, another approach can be used, in which every input signal spectral interval is
processed by its own channel, and the width of the spectral interval is adjusted with the performance
of an electronic ADC used for digitizing. In many cases, output signals of electronic ADCs are sufficient
for obtaining necessary information from the input signal without joint processing of the output
signals of all channels; otherwise, outputs of all channels can be Fourier-processed and concatenated to
get complete spectrum of a wideband microwave input signal. For realization of this scheme, a mode
locked stable laser together with an amplitude modulator and two combs of narrow band optical filters
can be used. Alternatively, a mode locked laser can be replaced with a continuous wave (CW) laser
together with a number of optical modulators. Performance capabilities for signal ADC using spectral
intervals are estimated. Parameters for optimal system operation are derived. It is shown that, for
modern optical elements, 8–10 effective bits can be achieved in the digitized signal.

Abstract:
A 6-bit phase shifter operating at E-band (71 GHz to 76 GHz) is presented. The differential phase
shifter is based on a vector modulator topology, using an accurate variable attenuator to achieve
variable gain in the I and Q branches. The accuracy is achieved using combination of a feedback control
circuit and a replica circuit. Implemented in a 55 nm BiCMOS technology, the phase shifter measures
930 μm × 410 μm (1965 μm × 1080 μm including test baluns and pads). The circuit achieves an RMS
phase error of 2.1◦ and an RMS amplitude error of 0.36 dB over the band of interest.

Abstract:
In this paper, a 270 to 300 GHz LO-path phase shifting architecture is presented. It is dedicated to
phased array in the sub-mm-wave band for beamforming and beam-steering. The circuit includes a
sub-harmonic injection locked oscillator that generates an output signal in the 270–300 GHz band,
from an injection signal in the 45 to 50 GHz band that is multiplied by six. To control the phase of the
output signal, an analog reflection-type phase shifter is implemented in the 45–50 GHz band, achieving
near 60◦ phase shift in this band, and thus almost 360◦ in the output band. The circuit was fabricated
in a BiCMOS 55 nm technology. It achieves a locking range of 30 GHz with a phase shift variation of
340◦ ± 13◦ . The power consumption of the whole circuit is 52 mW at 1.2 V voltage supply.

Abstract:
In this paper, a 28GHz CMOS vector summing phase shifter designed for the 5G mobile network is
introduced. With the proposed gain-error compensation technique, the measured gain variation due to
phase tuning within 27.4 ∼ 28.6GHz is less than 0.47dB together with an RMS gain error of 0.13dB. The
measured RMS phase error is less than 0.54◦ . Gain-invariant, high-accuracy phase control is realized by
this work. In the measurement, the proposed phase shifter supports a maximum data rate of 11.2Gb/s

Abstract:
Novel reflection-type phase shifter based on trans-directional (TRD) coupled-line coupler with DC
isolation of the RF and control paths is proposed. The coupler design is realized in the 3-D vertically
installed planar circuit without traditional shunt capacitors. For the first time analog phase shifter
based on TRD coupler is implemented in X-band. It uses GaAs Schottky varactor diodes, operates over
a 9.5 to 11.5 GHz (20%) band, and provides a phase-shift tuning of 0–125◦ with average insertion loss
of 2.25±0.75 dB and return losses better than 12 dB.

Substrate Integrated Waveguide SPST Switch with Single SMD PIN Diode
Authors:
Valentin Buiculescu, Alexandra Nicoloiu, IMT Bucharest, Romania
Page 815 – 818
Abstract:
A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) switch is presented in this paper. The switch is based on a
modified SIW choke (MSC) structure loaded at the coplanar waveguide (CPW) port by a single, SMD
packaged PIN diode. The switch covers two or more narrow frequency bands, depending on electrical
length of the MSC, while the length over the main signal paths equals the coupling slot width, of about
1 mm. Thin dielectric sheets assembled between the SIW structures have a slight effect on switch’s
characteristics, and hence the SIW parts can be completely isolated from each other.

Low-Loss Water-Based Metasurface in Waveguide Environment

Authors:
Andrei V. Lavrinenko, Rasmus E. Jacobsen, Samel Arslanagic, Technical University of Denmark,

Page 819 – 822
Abstract:
Water has been introduced as a unique component of all-dielectric multifunctional metasurfaces for
microwaves. Typically absorbing properties of arrays in free-air arrangement have been analyzed. Here
we report on promising performance of a water-filled metasurface in a microwave waveguide setup.
The metasurface has a one row of cylindrical cavities. Being filled with water the metasurface exhibits
effective modulation properties opening and closing the waveguide transmission channel upon 90◦
rotations. It acts as a wire grid polarizer, however temperature dependence of water dielectric
characteristic, possible deformation of the cavities shapes and rotation of elements form a set of
effective stimulus for possible tuning of transmission/reflection properties.

Characterization of Dielectric Properties, Resultant Isotropy and

Anisotropy of 3D Printed Dielectrics
Author:
Plamen I. Dankov, Sofia University, Bulgaria
Page 823 – 826
Abstract:
In this paper we perform a set of numerical and experimental investigations of the resulting
isotropy/anisotropy of the dielectric properties of the modern artificial dielectrics, produced by 3D
printers applying different unit cells. As in the cases of other artificial dielectrics with antenna and
microwave applications, e.g. reinforced substrates, multilayer radomes, textile fabrics, some
metamaterials, etc., the 3D printed materials can be considered as mixtures between two or more
dielectrics or metals and we estimate their anisotropy using unit cells with different shapes (spheres,
cubes, prisms, hexagons, etc.) and materials with different dielectric parameters. In this first our paper
in the area of bi-axial anisotropy of 3D printed dielectrics we investigate the influence of the type and
orientation of the “building blocks” in the unit cells over the resultant dielectric constant and dielectric
loss tangent of the samples. Experimental data have been presented for simple 3D printed samples
with unit cells as hexagons and triangles from PLA (polylactic acid). Special attention is devoted for
determination of the resulting isotropy of dielectrics for 3D printed Luneburg lens antennas, fabricated
by applying of unit cells with different symmetry.

Carbon Nanotube Layer Modeling for Computer Simulation of Optically

Controlled Phase Shifters
Authors:
Serguei Smirnov, Ilya V. Anoshkin, Dmitri V. Lioubtchenko, Joachim Oberhammer, KTH, Sweden
Page 827 – 830
Abstract:
We propose an approach for efficient modeling of thin carbon nanotube layers for full-wave device
simulations without increasing the number of simulation mesh cells. A surface impedance, used in
computer simulations, is calculated from the dielectric constant of the material. The dielectric constant
is modeled by a Drude-Lorentz resonance, fitted to experimental results. The approach allowed to
study the nanotube-induced losses and finite-size resonance effects in optically-controlled, dielectric
rod waveguide-based phase shifters. The correctness of the model was verified both by the simulated
and the measured S-parameters in the W-band.

Authors:
Sizhe An, Azat Meredov, Atif Shamim, KAUST, Saudi Arabia
Page 831 – 834
Abstract:
With the emergence of wearable and textile electronics, there is a need to study the effects of flexibility,
stretchability and washing on the performance of such electronic components and systems. In this
work, we demonstrate an RF filter which has been directly printed on textile (a sports T-shirt in this
case). With the help of a stretchable dielectric ink and a stretchable metallic ink, the printed filter on
textile can provide decent performance (with little degradation in performance) in stretched conditions
(up to 25% stretching), as compared to a non-stretchable metallic ink which develops permanent cracks
and cannot be used during or after stretching cycles. The filter is back to its normal performance, once
it is released back to its un-stretched position. It is also shown that the filter can withstand many
washing cycles and can maintain its performance.

Abstract:
The linearity of intrinsically switchable thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) filters based on
ferroelectric barium strontium titanate (BST) is investigated. A 2.5 stage ladder type BST FBAR filter is
designed and fabricated with an insertion loss of 4.3 dB and a fractional bandwidth of 2.5% at the

Abstract:
Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) is a suitable technology for efficiently developing the cloud-RAN concept in Fifth
Generation (5G) deployments based on Long Term Evolution Advanced LTE-A. Distortion coming out
from the radiofrequency (RF) power amplifier should be taken into account in order to achieve the
desired performance at the base station. In this paper, a complexity reduction technique based on a
variable degree polynomial predistorter is proposed. The obtained results show that it is possible to
achieve a reduction of operations with a penalty of 1.6 dB in ACLR and negligible impact on the EVM.

450W Sequential Power Amplifier with 60% Efficiency at 10dB Back-Off

Using Active Doherty-Type Load Modulation
Authors:
Florian Dietrich, Muh-Dey Wei, Renato Negra, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Page 847 – 850
Abstract:
This paper presents a 450W sequential power amplifier with Doherty-type active load modulation
(SPA-D) with 10 dB back-off (BO) for mobile base stations (MBS). Low optimum impedances (≈ 1Ω) of
the carrier and peaking amplifiers are needed to obtain the desired output power from the high-power
LDMOS devices . The design of the load transformation networks (LTN) is challenging due to the
associated uncertainties in the models and the tolerances of the lumped component values. The
proposed design methodology for low impedance LTNs overcomes this difficulty. Measured saturated
output power of 450W and peak PAE of 66% is achieved at 780 MHz. At 10 dB BO the measured PAE is
60%. The gain response is designed to be monotonic to relieve the effort of DPD. Simulations show
good agreement with the measurements. To the best of our knowledge, this SPA-D shows the highest
output power with the highest efficiency at 10 dB BO for an SPA-D and proofs this concept is viable also
for high power applications.

Abstract:
This work investigates the problem of spurious mode propagation in a grounded coplanar waveguide
(GCPW) environment at frequencies between 200 GHz and 335 GHz. Design strategies focused on
minimizing undesired effects are explored through full-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis and
experimental results from different test structures. It is shown that a λ/13 distance between via-holes
should be chosen to avoid unwanted resonances at these high frequencies. The critical role of via-holes
is also demonstrated through the experimental comparison of two power splitters. Finally, the need of
closed RF pads to avoid any propagation of parasitic modes is experimentally shown in an application
example of a power amplifier (PA) cell based on a 35 nm GaAs metamorphic high electron mobility
transistor (mHEMT) technology. The PA cell with closed pads achieves a 0.5 dB bandwidth of 28% with
small-signal gain levels larger than 5.2 dB.

Abstract:
A millimeter-wave remote sensing technique is used here as a noninvasive and continuous approach
for the real-time measurement of shock wave velocity as well as the velocity of the shocked dielectric
material during an impact. Experimental results obtained from planar symmetric impacts on
PolyMethyl MethAcrylate (PMMA) cylinders are discussed and demonstrate that the proposed
millimeter-wave remote sensing technique is highly convenient for deriving both the velocity of the
shock wave and velocity of the shocked PMMA material. The proposed approach is applicable to any
dielectric material subject to an impact and is an excellent candidate for deriving the equation of state
of shocked materials.

Page 859 – 862
Abstract:
Fused Deposition Modelling 3D printing of microwave absorbers using composite graphite / PLA
(G/PLA) filament is explored. The permittivity and loss tangent of a slab of G/PLA is carefully
measured for proper modelling. With a loss tangent of 1.6 and permittivity of 23 at 3 GHz, this lossy
material is a promising candidate for low cost absorbers easily manufactured in arbitrary 3D shapes.
Two wideband G/PLA absorber designs are presented. A truncated pyramidal absorber is
manufactured and measured in a waveguide. Also a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) designed for
6–8.5 GHz UWB radar is characterized in free space. Both designs have wideband absorbing properties
and the measured results match full wave simulations. With these results we have shown that 3D
printing with G/PLA is a promising technology for realization of fully functional microwave parts. 3D
printing offers design flexibility giving fast, low-cost and simple production for light-weight parts
appreciated in miniaturized and portable applications.

Abstract:
A passive secure ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag for liquid
conductivity detection is here introduced. Products of liquids are plentiful exist and widely used in
human’s daily life. It will be very helpful for RFID information security enhancement if a RFID tag could
be able to detect the mismatching between real product the tag attached on and information recorded
in RFID chip. Since liquid can be separated by its conductivity, passive RFID conductivity sensor tags
are accordingly desired. For demonstration, a passive UHF RFID sensor tag is designed to detect
solution with conductivity of less than 0.5 S/m. Read performance of the tag will degrade rapidly as
conductivity varies to less than 0.5 S/m. Agreement between simulated and experimental results
reveals the potential of the proposed tag can be extended using in distinguishing many other liquid
products.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to develop an accurate and reliable method of estimating propagation channels
and propagation modelling so as to advance radio link design of fifth generation (5G) wireless systems.
It was reported that in the high frequency bands used for 5G, shadow fading is large as is the loss due
to human bodies. This paper elucidates the effects of human body blockage on 26 GHz-band
propagation characteristics in an indoor environment. A novel method for estimating human body
blockage characteristics based on large scale FDTD analysis is proposed. Electromagnetic field
distributions inside an office environment created by a 26 GHz wireless transmitter are analysed and
propagation characteristics are discussed.

Page 882 – 885
Abstract:
Rutile resonators have been used in the past to characterize high-temperature superconductors. In this
work we describe a novel use of this type of resonator: the characterization of surface resistance in
metal coatings deposited on plastic substrates at 9.1 GHz. A very small sample surface (about 1 cm2 ) is
required due to the high permittivity of rutile. We describe the use of the resonator to analyze pairs of
small samples and to analyze the homogeneity of a sample set diced from a larger metallized surface.
We also show a novel experimental method to determine the geometrical factors in dielectric
resonators.

A Flexible Measurement System for Dielectric Waveguide

Characterization at mmW Frequencies
Authors:
Felix Distler, Jan Schür, Martin Vossiek, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany
Page 886 – 889
Abstract:
Due to their outstanding transmission behavior of millimeter wave (mmW) signals at high flexibility,
low weight and low costs, dielectric waveguides (DWG) represent a convenient technology for future
transmission systems and are well suitable for applications like radar, mmW imaging or high speed
communication. As different operating conditions require optimized geometries or materials of the
DWGs, it is necessary to provide a flexible and robust measurement system to precisely characterize
the transmission properties of DWGs with any cross section geometry. To extract the attenuation and
phase constants α and β a multiline de-embedding technique is used. Measurement results are shown
in this paper.

Abstract:
We demonstrate a novel design of all-dielectric metasurfaces featuring strong axial toroidal response.
A unit cell of the metamaterial is constructed by arranging two types of dielectric disks into an
asymmetric quadrumer cluster. The toroidal response is achieved via the excitation of a trapped mode
due to the symmetry breaking in the cluster. Dependence of the toroidal response on the degree of
asymmetry in the cluster geometry, that appears from the different compositions of holes introduced
into the disks, is studied both numerically and experimentally in the microwave regime.

Noise Figure Verification and Optimization of an Undersampled

Software Defined Radio Based Radar Receiver for a Phased Array Radar
System
Authors:
Björn Staufenbiel, Olaf Lambert, Michael Krist, Fraunhofer FHR, Germany
Page 894 – 897
Abstract:
This paper aims to study practical applicable measurement and optimization methods of the noise
figure of an undersampled radar receiver including the influence of aliasing caused by the
analog-digital-conversion and the followed digital signal processing. For this, a measurement method
is implemented that regards the convolution of noise components from adjacent frequency bands into
the useful band which occurs through a weak band-limiting analog filter. A comparison with the
common Y-Factor-Method noise figure measurement method for only the analog front-end is made and
it is shown why this method is not suitable for undersampled systems. The results have shown that the
weak slope steepness of the used analog bandpass filter leads to a degradation of the noise figure in
the upper half of the receiving frequency band that could not be determined by common measurement
methods.

Page 898 – 901
Abstract:
A uniform asymptotic solution is provided to evaluate the electromagnetic field diffracted by a 90◦
perfectly conducting wedge whose planar faces are coated by thin layers of double positive and double
negative lossy materials. A plane wave is considered at normal incidence with respect to the edge. The
electric and magnetic surface currents on the external faces of the structure are determined by
exploiting the physical optics approximation and used as sources in the far-field radiation integral.
Useful analytical steps permit to perform a uniform asymptotic evaluation of the resulting integrals
and to obtain the diffraction coefficients in the framework of the uniform theory of diffraction. These
approximate coefficients are expressed in closed form and result very easy to handle.

Analysis and Measurement of Passive Intermodulation in Coaxial

Cavity Filter
Authors:
Chunjiang Bai, Qi Wang, Jun Li, Wanzhao Cui, Yun He, CAST, China
Page 902 – 904
Abstract:
In this paper, passive intermodulation (PIM) in a third order coaxial cavity filter is studied. Firstly, the
filter is designed and the current density around resonant rods are obtained using software ansoft
HFSS. Secondly, we compare the current density around resonant rods and sequence them according to
the values of the current density. Thirdly, several coaxial cavity filters are manufactured according to
the same design model. These filers are same in structure, but only different in assembling form.
Lastly, the third order PIM level of these filters is measured at different input powers. The result shows
that the filter in which the current density around the resonant rod is largest will have high PIM level if
the resonant rod is just connected with screws during assembling at the same input power.

Abstract:
A rigorous mathematical model of nonlinear, parametric interactions of electromagnetic waves (EMWs)
with graphene-based nanostructures is developed. The nonlinear diffraction boundary problem is
solved for the nonlinear Maxwell’s equations with electrodynamical boundary conditions
simultaneously with a model of graphene surface conductivity as a nonlinear function on the
time-varying electric field. The numerical approach is based on the projection method using the
decomposition algorithm on autonomous blocks with Floquet channels. The instability of parametric
excitation process of EMWs in multilayer graphene-dielectric nanostructure is simulated using the
numerical method of bifurcation analysis of the nonlinear Maxwell’s operator, taking into account the
constrained geometries.

Micro-Doppler Spectrogram Denoising Based on Generative Adversarial

Network
Authors:
Danyang Huang, Chunping Hou, Yang Yang, Yue Lang, Qing Wang, Tianjin University, China
Page 909 – 912
Abstract:
In applications based on radar sensors, target movement can be analyzed using micro-Doppler
spectrogram, which is a time-frequency representation of micro-Doppler signature. However, the noise
in spectrogram brings difficulties for applications. Conventional denoising algorithms are not specific
to micro-Doppler data, they could only deal with a fixed level of noise and fail to effectively denoise
under low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) circumstances. To overcome the drawbacks, we propose a
method based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to remove the noise in micro-Doppler
spectrograms. Our method is applicable to a wide range of noise intensity, for which can be called a
blind denoiser. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed method on both simulated and measured
data, experimental results compared with competing algorithms demonstrate the superiority of our
method.

A Proposal of RF Front-End Architecture for 4 Frequency Bands with 2

Reception Paths
Authors:
Hiroto Sakaki, Nobuhiko Ando, Kazutomi Mori, Kenichi Tajima, Mitsubishi Electric, Japan
Page 913 – 916
Abstract:
We propose a novel RF front-end architecture to receive 4 signals on different frequency bands with 2
reception paths. The architecture translates 4 RF signal frequencies to 2 intermediate frequencies by
utilizing the principle of image rejection mixer. Spectrum of 2 received signals are overlapped on the
same intermediate frequency. Spectrum of the other 2 received signals are also overlapped on the
other intermediate frequency. After the frequency translation, a signal processing demultiplexes their
overlapped signals. This architecture can reduce RF components compared with a conventional RF
front-end architecture that has each path dedicated to the reception of only one frequency band.
Measurement and simulation results are in good agreement. We confirmed the feasibility of the
proposed architecture.

Highly Compact GaN-Based All-Digital Transmitter Chain Including

SPDT Switch for Massive MIMO
Authors:
Page 918 – 921
Abstract:
This paper presents a fully digital transmitter chain from baseband to antenna, including a modulator,
a truly digital (i.e. switch mode) microwave power amplifier and a transmit / receive switch. Both,
amplifier and switch MMIC were implemented in a GaN HEMT process. The novel amplifier design
provides greatly reduced complexity, needing only three voltage sources. Measurements were
conducted using 5MHz and 20MHz wide baseband (BB) signals on a carrier of 900 MHz. For the 5MHz
BB signal an ACLR of over 52 dB has been reached, fulfilling the 3GPP specs for base station use while
still maintaining a final-stage drain efficiency of 46% at 6.5 dB peak to average power ratio. Full-scale
output power at 30V supply voltage was measured to exceed 3W at 80% drain efficiency. Further
features of this digital amplifier approach include small form factor and extreme frequency agility,
making it an ideal candidate for software defined radio.

Page 922 – 925
Abstract:
Pseudo-random binary coded excitation signals are increasingly used for electromagnetic network
analysis. Various types of sequences are available for this task. Flexible signal generators with high
bandwidth are required for practical measurements. In this contribution, a concept for the generation
of arbitrary binary coded signals with a chip frequency up to 5Gchip/s based on a field programmable
gate array (FPGA) is presented. Furthermore, an algorithm to fast and precisely shift the time lag
between two coded signals to allow for correlating excitation and measurement signals in a hardware
correlator has been developed. First, two different types of pseudo-random binary sequences, the
maximum length sequence (MLS) and the almost perfect autocorrelation sequence (APAS), are
compared with each other. Afterwards, the FPGA design with focus on the algorithm to realize a
varying time lag between two generated signals is presented. Finally, the realization of a demonstrator
system and measurement results for the validation of the system are presented.

maximise the G/T of the ground station antenna. The cryogenic cooling system described is fully

consumption of 20W and an overall volume of 1.5U, not including the antenna. To reduce the costs,
commercial off-the-shelf electronic components are used whenever possible. Exploiting a data

Abstract:
This paper describes the indoor experimental verification testing results and discussion of a 28 GHz
multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) using the 360 element full-digital massive MIMO
active antenna system (AAS) for 5G base station applications. AAS accommodates 24 channels 28 GHz
transceiver chains and FPGA based on 1-bit direct-IF digital transmitters. The antenna array consists of
full digitally controlled 24 streams of 15 elements inline sub-arrays. The simultaneous four beams are
generated and the average Effective Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) is 59.4 dBm. The throughputs
are measured by maximum-ratio-combining (MRC) method and zero-forcing (ZF) method by steering
control. The achieved user-equipment (UE) throughputs are 0.996 Gbps with single beam, 0.655 Gbps
to 0.857 Gbps with four users by MRC, and 0.673 Gbps to 0.873 Gbps by ZF. The four user cell
throughputs are 2.884 Gbps and 3.134 Gbps by MRC and ZF respectively. The achieved spectrum
efficiency is 10.4 bps/Hz/cell using 300 MHz OFDM signal. As par author’s knowledge, this is a first

Transmitter with 36.5dBW EIRP Per Polarization
Authors:
Abdurrahman H. Aljuhani, Tumay Kanar, Samet Zihir, Gabriel M. Rebeiz, University of California at San
Diego, USA
Page 938 – 941
Abstract:
This paper presents a Ku-band dual-polarized transmit phased-array with 256-elements spaced λ/2
apart at 14 GHz in the x and y directions. The design is based on 64 silicon quad-core transmit chips
with 8 channels, and these chips are used to feed a 2×2 quad antennas with dual polarizations. The
output P1dB per channel is 12 dBm at 14 GHz. The silicon core-chips are flipped directly on a 12-layer
low-cost printed circuit board (PCB) with stacked patch antennas and Wilkinson dividers. The
256-element phased-array results in a measured EIRP of 64.5 dBm and 66.5 dBm at P1dB and Psat,
respectively, at normal incidence, per polarization. Measured patterns show a scan region of ±60◦ in E-
and H-planes with low sidelobes and near-ideal patterns. The design achieves a cross polarization level
< -27 dB up to ±45◦ and < -23 dB at ±60◦ scan angle, in both planes. The array is scalable to allow the
construction of large-scale phased-arrays (1024 elements or more). To our knowledge, this represents
state-of-the-art in Ku-band transmit phased-arrays in terms of integration level making it suitable for a
low-cost mobile Ku-band SATCOM terminal.

W-Band High-Efficiency Wideband Planar Array Antenna Based on

MEMS Micromachining Technology
Authors:
Shi Sen Yao, Yu Jian Cheng, UESTC, China
Page 942 – 945
Abstract:
A W-band planar array antenna with high efficiency and wide impedance bandwidth using MEMS
micromachining technology is designed and fabricated in this paper. The MEMS fabrication process of
selectively etching and gold plating is employed to fabricate the precise structure with the similar
property of the hollow waveguide. To satisfy the requirement of maximum thickness, the
reduced-height waveguide is applied to design an H-plane equal-amplitude and in-phase power divider
with the perturbed and septum structure to enhance its impedance bandwidth. A 2×2-element
sub-array is utilized to facilitate the layout of the feeding network in the lower layer. The
wideband-stepped horn is employed as the radiating element. Its simple configuration can guarantee
good performance. Finally, an 8×8 array antenna is fabricated by the MEMS micromachining
technology and measured. The total thickness is 2.65 mm, which is less than one free space
wavelength. Measurement results indicate that the impedance bandwidth for |S11 | < -10 is 21.28%. The
minimal gain can be up to 23.36 dBi within the whole operating frequency band. Total antenna
efficiency is up to 75% covering the range from 86.5 GHz to 104 GHz.

Beam-Steered Radiation from Amplifying Active Integrated Array

Antenna
Authors:
Srinaga Nikhil N., Ke Wu, École Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada
Page 946 – 949
Abstract:
This paper presents the design and demonstration of an 1 × 2 corporate fed amplifying active
integrated array antenna system through the analysis of three fundamental cases in support of a fixed
beam-steered radiation, which is achieved only by varying the input impedance of array elements.
Equivalent circuit approach to explain the mechanism for beam steering is presented and analyzed,
which is found in connection with the phase difference induced by input impedance variation. Active
devices are directly loaded by array elements, so as to provide an amplification of 12 dB in all the cases,
completely eliminating the output matching network. Prototype for one case is fabricated and
measured, which shows a close agreement with simulated results. With this analysis, a continuous
beam scanning from -14◦ to +10◦ realized by embedding a varactor diode between drain terminal and
array element input is also discussed.

Abstract:
In this paper, we present the design, fabrication and microwave experimental characterisation of a
ferroelectric phase shifter, which is integrated with a 2-element antenna array to achieve beam-steering
capabilities at very low voltages of ±1 V. The phase shifter consists of an interdigitated metallic
capacitor deposited on a Zr-doped ferroelectric hafnium dioxide (Hfx Zr1-x O2 ) thin film, directly grown
on high-resistivity Silicon (HR Si). The phase shifter shows a maximum phase shift of 53.74◦ at 2.55
GHz, sweeping the DC voltage between -1 V and +1 V. The miniaturised phased array is in the form of
two gold patch antennas, phase shifters and additional circuitry, all integrated on Hfx Zr1-x O2 /HR Si
4-inch wafer. The radiation beam at 2.55 GHz is steered with 25◦ when the 7-nm-thick ferroelectric is
biased with ±1 V. These new microwave devices represent a step forward in the realisation of
low-voltage tunable microwave components for the upcoming 5G technology.

Abstract:
This paper presents a new compact wideband bandpass filter (BPF) with an extremely broad stopband
consisting of two parallel coupled-line sections and multiple open-ended stubs, for S-band
applications. Due to symmetry of the design, even- and odd-mode analysis method is applied to
analyze the proposed filter structure. To further enhance the upper stopband, additional TZ’s are
generated by attaching two open stubs at the input/output feed lines and a third one in the middle of
the structure. The fabricated prototype filter covers the whole S-band frequency range, and has 3-dB
fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 66%. The measured insertion loss within the passband is less than 0.8 dB
and the measured return loss is greater than 15 dB within the entire passband. In addition, the
proposed filter has an appealing compact size of 0.09λg 2 with the upper stopband extended up to
5.96f0 , for suppression level greater than 20 dB.

A Novel Half-Wavelength Coupled-Resonator Filter with Multiple

Attenuation Poles
Authors:
Ayaka Shimizu, Toshio Ishizaki, Ryukoku University, Japan
Page 958 – 961
Abstract:
Recently, miniaturization and high performance of base-station filters are strongly requested. By
forming attenuation poles near the passband, attenuation outside the passband can be improved. As a
result, the filter can be downsized due to a smaller number of resonators. In this report, a novel
half-wavelength coupled-resonator filter is investigated. Although conventional filter makes
attenuation poles by cross-coupling, this filter can generate those by using electromagnetic coupling
between resonators. The design method for half-wavelength filter is investigated. It is demonstrated
how the attenuation pole frequencies varied depending on capacitances connected to the
coupled-resonators. In addition, the spurious characteristics are also studied. The second harmonic
spurious of half-wavelength resonator can be moved to higher frequency by loading capacitances at
both ends of the coupled-line.

Abstract:
A dual-band bandpass filter consisting of multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) and shunt stubs has
been designed. The used topology, based on the interconnection of two identical MTL and a shunt open
stub, has a frequency response that can be modelled by using the generalized Chebyshev functions. A
prototype of a 4 fingers-MTL is manufactured and measured and a good agreement between analytical
and measured results is obtained. Furthermore, it is easy to get a design criterion that enables getting
good responses varying just a few parameters.

Abstract:
In this paper, we presented the compact quad-band bandpass filter (BPF) using stepped impedance
resonators (SIRs). The filter is designed to have quad-band at 1.2, 2.4, 3.5 and 5.2 GHz. The four
passbands are simultaneously generated by controlling the impedance and length ratios of the
traditional and half wavelength stepped impedance resonators. The filter can provide the multi-path
propagation to enhance the frequency response and achieving the compact circuit size. The measured
results are in favourable agreement with the full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation results.

Abstract:
In this paper, a novel stub loaded dual mode square loop resonator and its microstrip diplexer
application is proposed. Open circuited stubs having narrow slits in different lengths are located at the
corners of a conventional dual-mode square loop resonator and substantial size reduction can be
achieved. Number of the proposed narrow slits can also achieve the resonance frequency control.
Afterwards, a compact microstrip diplexer is designed by coupling two resonators to input and output
ports by means of lumped capacitors. These resonators have different numbers of narrow slits.
Channel frequencies of the designed multiplexer are adjusted to 1.8 GHz and 2.1 GHz. Total circuit
size of the proposed diplexer is 0.186 λg × 0.34 λg , where λg is guided wavelength on the substrate at
the lowest channel frequency. The designed diplexer is also fabricated and tested in a good agreement
with the predicted results. Fractional bandwidths of the channels are measured as 8.3% and 8.5%. The
measured insertion losses of the channels are 1.63 dB and 1.66 dB. Isolation between the output ports
is obtained as better than 20 dB.

Authors:

Page 973 – 976
Abstract:
Using a hybrid method of mm-wave frequency scanning and pattern-recognition techniques, a highly
accurate chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system in 60 GHz free spectrum has been
developed. It contains high encoding capacity chipless tag based on alphabetic characters printed onto
a low-cost substrate. The individual tag is scanned with a pair of orthogonally polarized horn antennas
in a few view angles within the 57–64 GHz band. The resulted cross-polar backscattered signal is
processed to enable feature learning and classifications using different networks, such as Support
Vector Machines (SVMs), K-Nearest neighbors (KNNs) and Ensembles. This method yields >95% reading
accuracy which demonstrates great improvement in many low-cost chipless tag applications.

Page 981 – 984
Abstract:
A novel solution for sensing the activity of different electrical devices connected to the home power
line, based on the use of a long-range UHF RFID system, is proposed. The solution uses a 3-axis
magnetometer, coupled with a flexible RFID tag wrapped around the power cord of an electrical device
to be sensed. The time varying magnetic field, generated by the AC current carried by the power cord,
is sensed by the magnetometer attached to the RFID tag and utilized for determining the state (ON or
OFF) of the electrical device. In addition to the state, the identification of the device is also possible
thanks to the unique identification property of the RFID tag. Preliminary measurements were
performed using an open development environment based on STM32 microcontroller STNucleo kit,
then a prototype of the RFID sensor using a magnetometer chip mounted together with the RFID tag on
a flexible substrate holding the RFID antenna, connected to a PCB board including an ultra-low power
microcontroller, for necessary data processing, have been realized and successfully tested. A sensing
range of approximately 7–8 m using a standard RFID Reader operating in the UHF band have been
achieved, despite the close proximity of the power-cord.

Authors:
Ferran Paredes, Gerard Zamora, Tra M. Nguyen, Ferran Martín, Jordi Bonache, Universitat Autònoma de
Barcelona, Spain
Page 985 – 988
Abstract:
A new strategy for designing small on-metal UHF-RFID tags providing long read range is presented in
this paper. The proposed implementation consists of two parts: a complementary split-ring resonator
(CSRR) antenna, which is intended to be directly cut out from a surface of the metallic container to be
identified, and a very small feeding part containing the RFID chip, which may be implemented on a
flexible dielectric with sticker material. As a proof of concept, a compact UHF-RFID tag based on a
CSRR of radii 24.8 mm (λ0 /13) and a feeding network of size 29 mm × 11.3 mm (λ0 /11 × λ0 /29) is
designed and fabricated. The measured read range is above 9 m within the entire USA UHF-RFID band,
with a peak value of 15.5 m achieved at 920 MHz.

Orientation Independent Printable Backscattering Chipless RFID Tags

Based on L-Resonator
Authors:
Vijay Sharma, Sambhav Malhotra, Mohammad Hashmi, IIIT-Delhi, India
Page 989 – 992
Abstract:
Two novel compact orientation independent (OI) chipless RFID tag designs have been proposed in this
paper. In these designs, the variation in the length of the L-resonators generate distinct resonant
frequencies for encoding of data. These tags are single sided with no ground plane and can be read
from behind or front by a reader having a linear polarization. In one of the designs, the L-resonators
have been placed in cascaded fashion and this in turn leads to reduced size of the tag but with
increased the mutual coupling. The second design has alternate L-resonators in cascade and this
reduces mutual coupling and improves printing tolerance but at the cost of increased tag size. These
tags occupy only 20mm×20mm and hence can be potentially used as a replacement for barcodes in
items tagging and identification.

Authors:
Maurice van Wanum, Lex de Boer, Frank E. van Vliet, TNO, The Netherlands
Page 993 – 996
Abstract:
This paper describes a fractional-N PLL IC with absolute phase control utilizing an on-chip loop-filter.
The frequency range is 2.6 to 3.5 GHz, which covers one of the bands for future low-band 5G
telecommunication systems. For phased-array operation a compact form-factor is needed as the space
available for the complete front-end is limited by the wave-length. The on-chip loop-filter allows to
obtain the compact form factor required. The absolute phase-control allows for phased-array
operation. The chip has been implemented in a 0.25 μm BiCMOS process.

Page 997 – 1000
Abstract:
This paper proposes a compact realization of a core-coupling technique for millimetre-wave (mm-wave)
push-push CMOS LC voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). The target is to achieve phase noise (PN)
performance improvement by maintaining a wideband continuous frequency-tuning-range (FTR) for
FMCW radar applications. The VCO cores are superharmonic injection-locked on a common tail node.
Three VCOs are fabricated in a 22 nm fully depleted (FD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS technology:
Single-Core, Dual-Core and Quad-Core. All implementations have the same core design. Measurements
show the expected PN improvement for the multi-core VCOs compared to the Single-Core VCO.

Page 1001 – 1004
Abstract:
This work presents the design of a low power 24 GHz LC cross-coupled voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) for a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar base station. The VCO is fabricated
using 45 nm RF-SOI technology since its passive components provide better quality factor than those
of bulk CMOS technologies. When measured on a printed circuit board (PCB), the fabricated VCO
consumes only 12.3 mA from a 1 V supply, achieving a power efficiency of 2.15 GHz/mW which
outperforms other state-of-the-art LC cross-coupled VCOs. The design employs a two bit capacitor
bank to achieve a tuning range of 9%. The measured phase noise is -96.4 and -119 dBc/Hz at 1 and 10
MHz offset frequency respectively. It achieves a figure of merit (FOM) of -179.5 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz
offset frequency.

Abstract:
Local oscillator signal generation with low phase-noise is an important topic for future
communications systems operating in D-band and beyond. This paper presents a D-band fundamental
reflection-type source with high DC-to-RF efficiency and low phase-noise properties, realized using a
transferred-substrate (TS) 0.8 μm InP-DHBT process. It delivers 9.5 dBm peak output power, with 2
GHz tuning range. The DC consumption is only 43.5 mW from a single 2.5 volts power supply, which
corresponds to 20% peak DC-to-RF efficiency. The measured single side band (SSB) phase noise reaches
-94 dBc/Hz and -115 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz and 10 MHz offset frequency, respectively. To the knowledge of
the authors, this is the highest DC-to-RF efficiency reported so far in this frequency range with
excellent phase noise performance and state-of-the-art output power.

Abstract:
We present a continuously tunable 52-to-61 GHz push-push cross-coupled voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) in a 28 nm bulk CMOS technology. The second harmonic is extracted in a non-invasive way using
a transformer. The primary side acts simultaneously as a second harmonic filter and a balun. The VCO
achieves in measurement a low phase noise of -87 dBc=Hz at 1 MHz offset at 60 GHz and an output
power of -23 dBm. The VCO including buffers dissipates 49 mA from a single 0.9 V supply, while the
VCO core consumes only 12 mA. It occupies a chip area of only 0.28 mm2 including pads. The VCO
achieves a continuously tunable frequency tuning range (FTR) of 16%. The circuit is suitable for 60 GHz
FMCW radar applications.

Abstract:
This paper presents for the first time a realization of fully 3D printed filters operating in the W-band.
Aerosol jet printing technology was used to deposit both a dielectric substrate and conductive traces.
Printed polyimide ink provides a low-loss substrate with a smooth surface suitable for mm-wave
applications. Conductive silver ink composes a metal layer with low resistivity. Two bandpass filters of
different topologies operating at 94 GHz and 98 GHz, respectively, and using a via-less CPW to
microstrip transition have been designed, manufactured and measured. The experimental results
demonstrate, that aerosol jet printing has application potential as a low-cost, high-resolution and fast
prototyping process, making it a suitable alternative for manufacturing mm-wave circuits above 80
GHz.

Abstract:
Conformal load-bearing smart skins (CLSS) provide the unique ability to integrate complex electrical
systems into aerospace composite materials. This paper provides a preliminary investigation into the
patterning of Artificial Impedance Surfaces (AIS) on these materials as they are well suited to develop
conformal meta-surfaces (MTS). In particular, a composite veil material has been patterned using laser
ablation and has been transferred directly onto a resin pre-impregnated (pre-preg) structural glass
material. The new patterning technique was found suitable for the creation of fine geometric features
with a resolution of approximately 100 μm. The material has been characterized by a reflected
magnitude and phase measurement.

Abstract:
In this work, a signal-interference-based structure with negative group delay (NGD) properties is
proposed. The proposed topology allows an easy control and design of the NGD characteristics, such
as the group delay GD at the design frequency, the NGD bandwidth (NBW) and the maximum
attenuation. For that purpose, some design closed-form expressions have been analytically obtained
and design curves have been provided. The circuit sensibility as a function of the design parameters is
also studied. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed structure, a proof-of-concept
circuit has been designed and implemented to be centered at 1 GHz. It has shown a very broad NBW of
320 MHz, with a NGD of -0.8 ns at 1 GHz and a maximum attenuation of 15 dB.

Abstract:
A Ka-band continuous phase shifter is presented in this paper. A grounded co-planar wave (GCPW)
transmission line loaded with a high dielectric ceramic slab is employed to achieve continuous phase
shift over the operating frequency band (28–31 GHz) for high performance phased-array applications.
A piezoelectric transducer (PET) is used to precisely control the gap between the slab and the GCPW;
hence, the phase state of the phase shifter is controlled. More than 2π phase shift can be achieved by
the proposed phase shifter, which is implemented in 3×3mm2 area size by employing a meander
shaped GCPW line. Extensive measurements have been performed showing a high figure of merit (FOM)
180◦ /dB at 28 GHz with high repeatability at room temperature.

Abstract:
This paper presents a simple technique for effective mitigation of passive intermodulation generated in
planar microwave circuits fabricated on commercial printed circuit board laminates. The proposed
procedure is based on covering the edges of a microstrip lines with a material of a high dielectric
constant, which reduces the electric field intensity (displacement field) and, hence, nonlinear
distortions due to high current density. The obtained results indicate that proper choice of electrical
and geometric parameters of the coating dielectric material result in a significant mitigation of passive
intermodulation, while small-signal scattering parameters of the measured circuit remain constant.

Abstract:
This paper presents a comparison of chip connections using Aerosol Jet (AJ) and bond technology on
low cost PCB substrates. First, the behavior of the used gap filler material and the used silver ink on
printed circuit boards are characterized. In addition to comparing the RF performance (DC to 67 GHz)
of the two technologies, the mechanical stability is also compared. While the AJ technology transitions
score above all for their RF performance and the lower requirements (surface finish, pad size and
adhesion) on the PCB, the bonding technology has clear advantages, especially with different coefficient
of thermal expansion (CTE) values of the substrates to be connected. Finally, the measurement results
of a complete package are shown, whereby the chip connection is realized once by means of aerosol jet
and once by bonding wires.

Page 1037 – 1040
Abstract:
This work outlines for the first time the development and demonstration of fully inkjet-printed
mm-wave 3D ramp interconnects for Ka-band active wireless devices and MCM packaging solutions.
Details of the inkjet printing processes are outlined to realize printed RF and DC interconnects for
active MMIC dies. Printed ramp interconnects are demonstrated first with an attenuator die to evaluate
the multi-material fabrication process, yielding an interconnect insertion loss of approximately 0.45
dB/mm at 24.5 GHz. The process is then applied to a Ka-band LNA MMIC where ramp interconnects for
the RF and DC are inkjet-printed, yielding a maximum aggregate gain of 24.2 dB and interconnect
insertion loss of approximately 0.57 dB/mm. The fabrication processes and evaluative demonstrations
presented in this work highlight the effectiveness of utilizing fully-additive inkjet printing technology
for the realization of highly application-specific wireless MCM systems in a low-cost and efficient
fashion up to the mm-wave frequency range.

Multiple H-Plane Splits
Authors:
Bernhard Beuerle, James Campion, Umer Shah, Joachim Oberhammer, KTH, Sweden
Page 1041 – 1044
Abstract:
For sub-millimeter and millimeter wave applications rectangular waveguides are an ideal transmission
medium. Compared to conventional, metal-milled rectangular waveguides, silicon micromachined
waveguides offer a number of advantages. In this paper we present a low-loss silicon micromachined
waveguide technology based on a double H-plane split for the frequency bands of 110–170 GHz and
220–330 GHz. For the upper band a reduced height waveguide is presented, which achieves a loss per
unit length of 0.02–0.10 dB/mm. This technology has been further adapted to implement a full height
waveguide for the lower frequency band of 110–170 GHz. The full height waveguide takes advantage of
the benefits of the double H-plane split technique to overcome the challenges of fabricating
micromachined waveguides at lower frequencies. With measured insertion loss of 0.007–0.013 dB/mm,
averaging 0.009 dB/mm over the whole band, this technology offers the lowest insertion loss of any
D-band waveguide to date. The unloaded Q factor of the D-band waveguide technology is estimated to
be in excess of 1600, while a value of 750 has been measured for the reduced height upper band
waveguide.

Using Wideband Patch Antenna
Authors:
Yunfeng Dong, Tom K. Johansen, Vitaliy Zhurbenko, Peter Jesper Hanberg, Technical University of
Denmark, Denmark
Page 1045 – 1048
Abstract:
This paper presents the design of a transition at D-band (110–170 GHz) between rectangular waveguide
and coplanar waveguide (CPW) using wideband patch antenna. With the rectangular ring structure, the
proposed patch antenna is specialized for high gain and large bandwidth which can be used for
wireless chip-to-chip communication or implemented as a rectangular waveguide-to-CPW transition. A
simulated gain of 7.4 dBi with 36% bandwidth centered at 140 GHz is achieved. The fabricated
rectangular waveguide-to-CPW transition in a back-to-back configuration exhibits a bandwidth of 42.2
GHz at D-band. From 118.8 GHz to 161 GHz, the return loss is better than 10 dB and each fabricated
rectangular waveguide-to-CPW transition introduces less than 2 dB insertion loss.

Authors:
Ahmed Hassona, Álvaro Pérez-Ortega, Zhongxia Simon He, Herbert Zirath, Chalmers University of
Technology, Sweden
Page 1049 – 1052
Abstract:
This work presents a waveguide transition based on a slot radiator implemented on liquid crystal
polymer (LCP) substrate. The slot couples the RF signal to a D-band (110–170 GHz) waveguide
perpendicular to its plane. The slot is fed using a microstrip line and can be bonded to any monolithic
microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). A waveguide split-block that utilizes bed of nails structure is also
presented. The structure is used to stop undesired radiation at the interface between the slot and the
waveguide opening allowing better coupling between the slot and the waveguide by reducing radiation
loss. The transition shows a minimum insertion loss of 2.1 dB and an average of 3.2 dB. The 3-dB
bandwidth of the transition covers the frequency range 112–140 GHz. Another variant of the transition
is designed to cover the higher part of the band and shows an average insertion loss of 3.6 dB covering
the frequency range 124–154 GHz. The transition presents a simple low-cost technique to interface
between standard waveguides and MMICs in millimeter-waves systems.

Near-Field Scanning Microwave Microscopy
Authors:
Tianjun Lin, Sijia Gu, Tuami Lasri, IEMN (UMR 8520), France
Page 1053 – 1056
Abstract:
In this paper we report a resolution enhancement method for non-destructive imaging application with
near-field scanning microwave microscopy (NFMM). The technique proposed for the image processing
is based on the combination of the position/signal difference (PSD) method and an adaptive robust
statistical (ARS) method. The NFMM, is built up with a vector network analyzer (VNA), an evanescent
microwave probe (EMP), a high resolution motorized XYZ stage, and a data acquisition system. Thanks
to the broadband matching network based on an interferometric technique, the electromagnetic
coupling between the probe and sample can be adjusted to guarantee a high measurement sensitivity
at any frequency from 2 to 18 GHz. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed resolution
enhancement solution can effectively correct the distortion caused by multiple parameters such as
measurement noise and tilt errors of the sample. The post-processing technique associated to the
microwave instrumentation result in an improvement of spatial resolution for non-destructive
evaluation.

Authors:
Ryo Sakamaki, Masahiro Horibe, AIST, Japan
Page 1057 – 1060
Abstract:
The study demonstrates improvement of measurement repeatability in on-wafer thru-reflect-line (TRL)
calibration with precision probing technique. The original probe station and the impedance standard
substrate with the special positional standards were fabricated for the demonstration. Error terms of
the measurement system regard to directivity, source match, and tracking, were evaluated by TRL
calibration algorithm. Finally, measurement repeatability in evaluation of the capacitance of air open
was compared between the precision probing technique and the conventional manual probing
technique. The precision probing technique showed improved repeatability compared to the manual
probing technique. This improvement was considered to be associated with reduced variations of the
directivity by eliminating variation of the probe position.

Mansoor Dashti Ardakani, Chaouki Hannachi, B. Zouggari, Emilia Moldovan, Serioja Ovidiu Tatu,

Page 1061 – 1064
Abstract:
A V-band front-end based on a six-port interferometer is proposed for the accurate measurement of
Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) and carrier recovery in a wireless system. The interferometer uses
power readings for amplitude, phase or frequency comparison between its two RF inputs. If the circuit
is carefully designed, this low-cost technique allows precise phase and frequency measurements
without the need of any calibration. Furthermore, the ability to work with a reduced local oscillator
(LO) power is a significant advantage of interferometry versus conventional mixing techniques.
Measurements performed at 64 GHz show a resolution of a few Hz, as low as permitted by today’s DC
coupled measurement equipment. A CFO of 3 Hz, equivalent with a Doppler shift corresponding to a
velocity of 7 mm/s, has been successfully measured.

Abstract:
Smart Factories require new sensor systems to collect important data and to link different parts of a
factory together in order to control it automatically. In this paper a low-power and low-cost radar
system with a power consumption of 1.5mW at a sampling rate of 10 measurements per second is
presented. By using a multitone approach, the unambiguous range can be enhanced significantly and
the system is made more robust against influences from harsh industrial environments. It can be used
for applications as tank level measurements or piston monitoring in waveguides and is designed for
the 24 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band.

Abstract:
This paper presents the influence of bandwidth-dependent deterministic impairments of diplexer
filters on the performance of an E-band wireless link. The degradation of performance due to group
delay variation and amplitude ripple in the analog front-end transmission chain is considered based on
the system-level simulation and compared to measurements. The study involves the impairments
characterization and their behavior in a transceiver system. The impairment decomposition method is
performed in order to validate the measurements of error vector magnitude for QPSK transmission
with variable baud-rates up to 4 GBd. We show that for a given RF bandwidth of 5 GHz, within an
E-band RF chain configuration for downlink diplexer filters, the EVM performance related to
deterministic linear impairments degrades by 3.3% (2.3 dB), while in case of uplink diplexer filters, it
degrades by 4.25% (4.5 dB).

Abstract:
A new 5G-antenna module is presented consisting of a four radiator multiple input multiple output
(MIMO) wideband antenna array at 24.25–29.5 GHz in combination with a 4G/WLAN/DSRC antenna at
0.7–6 GHz in close proximity. Additionally the antenna array is enclosed by a ring antenna for
GNSS-satellite reception at L1-band. The antenna array provides a wideband behaviour with an input
reflection coefficient better than -10 dB in the complete frequency range and an omnidirectional
behaviour with slight priority to driving- and back direction. Results of the 5G antenna are shown by
measurement and simulation. Also in combination with the 4G/WLAN/DSRC antenna and a GNSS
scarabaeus antenna surrounding the array, the 5G-antenna keeps its performance, showing also low
mutual coupling of all the antenna elements.

the implementation of MIMO configurations for automotive applications requires to consider a realistic
propagation environment. This work investigates the electromagnetic channel model for an urban
scenario based on the achievable capacity, proposing different antenna geometries and analyzing them
mounted on the vehicle. As radiating element, an UWB 3D monopole is proposed, properly designed to
operate from below 2 GHz up to K band, whereas this work will focus on the lowest and most critical
frequencies. In particular, 3.6 and 5.9 GHz bands will be compared regarding their performance for an
urban V2I environment.

Page 1081 – 1084
Abstract:
This article describes a novel dual polarized rod waveguide antenna array for millimeter-wave
frequencies. The antenna is fed from a flexible PCB which includes two orthogonal probes acting as
feeding elements for the rod waveguide. Simulation results show that this antenna is a feasible
solution that could be easily integrated inside a portable device to realize an end-fire beam steerable
antenna array. According to simulations, a 4-element array placed inside a mobile phone provides
higher than 65% efficiency at both polarizations across the whole band of 24–29.5 GHz. The matching
level of a single element is better than -10 dB and the active reflection coefficient is below -6 dB in the
whole band.

Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a wideband antenna that consists of two closely separated dielectric
resonator antennas (DRAs), and fed by a microstrip antenna, for 5G applications. The dimensions of
the two DRAs are designed such that they resonate at two close and contiguous resonance frequencies
to enhance the antenna bandwidth. Moreover, a truncation in the ground has been proposed such that
the feeding microstrip antenna attains a third resonance frequency that is close to the resonances of
the two DRAs. As such, the three resonance frequencies form a wide contiguous bandwidth of
12–24GHz, with fractional bandwidth of 66%, at center frequency of 18GHz. Furthermore, the
utilization of the two closely separated DRA elements enhances the gain of the antenna as they act as
antenna array elements, whereas there is only one feeding port, which simplifies the antenna structure.
The DRAs widths and lengths are 2 by 2mm and 5 by 1mm, respectively, and the height of both of
them is 5.7mm. The gain of the antenna ranges from 4 to 8dBi over the operating bandwidth. The
antenna is fabricated and good agreement is attained between measured and simulated results.

Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) Process for LTE Band 1
Authors:
Yang-Chih Huang, Po-Yuan Tsai, Tzong-Lin Wu, National Taiwan University, Taiwan
Page 1089 – 1092
Abstract:
Implementing a compact duplexer with high isolation level for two close bands (e.g. FDD-LTE bands) is
very difficult. In this paper, a duplexer to achieve high isolation and low insertion loss based on
lumped elements with limited Q factor fabricated on low temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) process
is proposed. Both simulated and measured results are given and compared with previous works. The
isolation level at Tx and Rx bands can be further improved by introducing both high-impedance path
and low-impedance path. Also, the suppression at GPS/Bluetooth bands are enhanced due to additional
TZs.

Authors:
Maciej Ćwikliński, Christian Friesicke, Friedbert van Raay, Hermann Maßler, Rüdiger Quay,
Oliver Ambacher, Fraunhofer IAF, Germany
Page 1093 – 1096
Abstract:
We report on a new type of broadband radial stub. It consists of two inclined half-stubs, which are
separated by a small gap at their vertices. This radial stub can provide -15 dB rejection over almost 29%
fractional bandwidth, which is an 86% improvement over the conventional radial stub. Using this stub
in a double-sided (butterfly) configuration results in a -15 dB rejection bandwidth of about 61%, higher
by a factor of two than in the case of a conventional butterfly stub. This stub was utilized in the
DC-bias paths of a GaN power amplifier, which can provide more than 10 dB of gain between 60 and
110 GHz, resulting in the first-ever GaN power amplifier able to cover the whole W-band (75–110 GHz).

Abstract:
This paper presents a systematic comparison of integrated transformer structures realized in a 28 nm
bulk CMOS technology and characterized up to the millimetre-wave frequencies. First, the rectangular
versus octagonal coil shapes are compared. Next, different magnetic coupling mechanisms are
examined: interleaved transformers using lateral coupling, stacked ones using vertical coupling and
symmetrical transformers using the combination of both coupling mechanisms. Finally, the
comparison is repeated for different turn ratios: 1:1, 1:2 and 2:2. The electrical properties of the
transformers, such as self-inductance, quality factor, self-resonance frequencies and coupling
coefficient are evaluated. Advantages and disadvantages of these structures are discussed with regard
to their applicability in various active circuits. One of the main targets is to obtain the best
transformer’s electrical parameters for a given fixed area and given metallization option. The
structures are measured up to 70 GHz. On-chip interconnects are de-embedded and the devices are
compared to the models simulated by EM field solver.

Abstract:
A folded edge-coupled transformer balun is presented with excellent balance and 3-dB bandwidth from
9 to 20 GHz. Three structures were simulated; straight, folded, spiralled; to study the trade-off between
the circuit size and balance performance. A simplified lumped equivalent circuit model of the
transformer balun is also shown. The transformer balun was implemented with two-port
characterization structures to accurately measure the balance. The measured magnitude and phase
imbalances are less than 0.3 dB and 0.7◦ from 2 to 25 GHz, surpassing previously reported results for
GaAs baluns. The balun was fabricated in a 0.1 μm GaAs pHEMT technology and occupies 0.24 mm2 .
This paper also highlights that the edge-coupling is preferred for GaAs technology baluns due to
restrictions in metal fabrication.

Abstract:
For the first time, thousands of RF MOSFETs were batch-fabricated on liquid-exfoliated MoS2 below
300◦ C with nearly 100% yield. The large-scale fabrication with high yield allowed the average
performance instead of the best performance to be reported. The DC performance of these devices
were typical, but the RF performance, enabled by buried gates and on the order of 100 MHz, was
reported for the first time for liquid-exfoliated MoS2 . To resolve the dilemma of thin vs. thick films,
channel recess was used on 20-nm thick films to improve the gate control while keeping the contact
resistance lower than that on 10-nm films. These innovations may enable thin-film transistors to
operate in the microwave range.

120-GHz and 240-GHz Broadband Bow-Tie Antennas in eWLB Package

for High Resolution Radar Applications
Authors:

Page 1109 – 1112
Abstract:
In this paper, we present two broadband bow-tie antennas working in D-Band (110GHz–170 GHz) and
J-Band (220GHz–325 GHz) frequency range. Both antennas are designed in embedded wafer level ball
grid array (eWLB) package from Infineon and are intended for high resolution radar applications.
Achieving wideband performance in terms of return loss and antenna gain at millimeter and
sub-millimeter-wave frequencies is a major challenge in an eWLB package because of the relative
thickness and size of the package with respect to the operating frequency. This leads to unwanted
surface currents and parasitic radiations from the sidewalls of the package. In order to alleviate this
problem the antennas and the size of the package are co-designed. Measurements of the D-band and
J-band antennas show a 3-dB gain bandwidth from 107GHz–130 GHz and 227–252 GHz while
demonstrating a peak gain of around 6 dBi and 4 dBi, respectively. These antennas demonstrate that
achieving wideband performance in an eWLB system-in-package is not only feasible but offers a highly
attractive and robust solution for current and future radar applications.

Wave Antennas

Page 1113 – 1116
Abstract:
A novel concept to launch surface waves at millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies is presented. An
on-chip antenna is used to launch a surface wave into an off-chip substrate circumventing the need for
a lossy mmW interconnect. As a proof of concept, an on-chip Vivaldi antenna is used to feed the
off-chip hologram of a holographic leaky wave antenna. The performance of the antenna is compared
to the performance of the same hologram fed by a conventional off-chip surface wave launcher
connected by bond wires. Simulation and measurement results are presented and show the advantage
of the new concept.

Kedar Trivedi, Dhaval Pujara, Nirma University, India
Page 1117 – 1120
Abstract:
In this paper, design of a tightly spaced two-element modified Maltese shaped dielectric resonator
antenna (DRA) for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) applications is proposed. Ultra-wide
bandwidth (UWB) is achieved by use of proposed Modified Maltese shaped DRA design. The antenna is
fed using trapezoidal shaped conformal strip feed. The single element antenna was fabricated and
measured bandwidth (BW) of about 111% (3.6–12.6 GHz) was achieved. Based on the encouraging UWB
performance of single element antenna, two-element antenna array with C-shaped Periodic Defected
Ground Structure (PDGS) is proposed. Mutual coupling less than -18 dB over the entire band of interest
is achieved using C-shaped PGDS. Different antenna design parameters, its parametric study, along
with simulated and measured results are presented in this paper.

Abstract:
In some configurations, such as in receiving systems, the noise generated by the added non-Foster
element, due to the active devices that comprise them (i.e. diodes of transistors), is a key factor to be
accounted for, that is intimately linked with the global system performance. Even when such
non-Foster element is embedded into a distributed elements circuit or in a radiating structure, making
impossible the access to its input-output ports, the noise characterization of the added noise is
welcome. In this paper, the added noise due to a conventional transistor-based negative impedance
converter (NIC), in an unbalanced configuration, and embedded in an Electrically Small Antenna (ESA) is
measured by following the three-antenna method.

Applications
Authors:
Zixian Yang, Fang Li, Xiaowei Yang, Fazong Li, CAEP, China
Page 1125 – 1128
Abstract:
In this paper, a dual-band MIMO antenna for WLAN applications is presented. The overall size of the
proposed antenna is very compact as only 11× 32 mm2 . The antenna element consists of a L-shaped
driven strips on the top and an inverted L-shaped slots on the ground. A decoupling slot is also
introduced between two antenna elements to improve the isolation. The simulated results are studied
and the measured results show that the -10 dB impedance bandwidth of 2.2–2.48 GHz and 5.45–5.9
GHz for WLAN are obtained and high isolation of more than 20 dB at the entire operating bands is
achieved. Furthermore, the measured radiation performances and envelope correlation coefficient also
demonstrate that the proposed antenna could be a good candidate for WLAN systems.

Page 1129 – 1132
Abstract:
A sub-GHz transmitter which has a constant envelope π /2 shift BPSK modulator is described. To
realize constant envelope and low EVM, we have designed that the modulator is composed of a
specially designed root raised cosine filter (α=0.65 and fc=0.54fs) whose output directly drives ADPLL.
The filter characteristic is designed that it passes slightly wider spectrum than that of Rx (α=0.5 and
fc=0.5fs). Together with the efficient class E power amplifier, we have built a 13 dBm output power
sub-GHz transmitter with 50 mW power consumption. Using this transmitter, we have experimentally
confirmed 2% of EVM, which is significantly better than that of GMSK.

Hybrid RSSI-AoA Positioning System with Single Time-Modulated Array

Receiver for LoRa IoT
Authors:
Kyung-Jin Baik, Sangjoon Lee, Byung-Jun Jang, Kookmin University, Korea
Page 1133 – 1136
Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a hybrid received signal strength indication (RSSI) - angle of arrival (AoA)
positioning system with only one time-modulated array (TMA) receiver for LoRa IoT devices. The
proposed system has the advantage of simpler hardware configuration than a conventional multiple
receiver-based positioning system since it uses only one TMA receiver. Additionally, our system does
not require clock synchronization because it depends on RSSI and AoA information. The TMA receiver
consists of two antennas and a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch. The two antennas receive the
signal from the target under the control of the SPDT switch and harmonic components are generated
by the switching frequency of the switch. RSSI and AoA parameters can be calculated using
fundamental and harmonic components. Using the RSSI and AoA of the target, the coordinates of the
position are calculated by a LabVIEW program in real-time. In order to evaluate the performance of this
system, we conducted experiments to find the position of a LoRa end-device in an outdoor
environment. From the results, we confirmed that the positioning of the LoRa end-device could be
precisely estimated using only one TMA receiver.

Abstract:
This talk will be focused on the description of several applications of space segment steerable
antennas used in different exploration and science missions. During the last decades, bandwidth and
data rate capabilities of radiolinks have exponentially been increased. This has been observed in all
facets of telecommunications, which include both geostationary satellite and deep space applications.
Within the context of space science, modern payload instruments require much higher data rates than
the first planetary exploration missions, such as Voyager, Pioneer, or Mariner programs.

Abstract:
The exponentially increasing demand for high-speed wireless links can be only efficiently satisfied with
the development of future XG wireless communication networks, based on higher carrier signal
frequencies, starting from 100 GHz. In this contribution, a circularly polarized G-band leaky-wave fed
lens antenna with an integrated dielectric grid polarizer is presented, which can fulfill the challenging
requirements for these future XG networks. A design is proposed in low dielectric permittivity material
with a feed matching better than -10dB over a 44% of relative bandwidth. The circularly polarized lens
aperture efficiency is higher than 75% over a 35% relative bandwidth, with an axial ratio lower than 3dB.
Analytical tools have been applied to optimize the lens aperture efficiency, validating the results via
full wave simulations. A lens prototype has been now fabricated and is currently being measured.

Page 1151 – 1154
Abstract:
This work evaluates the performance of two ILA with different dielectric materials. Two elliptical ILAs
of 32 mm radius are designed using Rexolite (εr = 2.53 and tanδ = 0.0013) and PREPERM L450 (εr =
5.01 and tanδ = 0.0046) materials. The gain and beam-steering properties of these ILAs were
thoroughly investigated using raytracing simulations and measurements at E-band. Despite the higher
loss tangent, the ILA with L450 material gives 29.3 dBi gain compared to 28.7 dBi of Rexolite material
at 73 GHz. The measured gain scan loss for steering angle of the 24◦ beam is 4.3 dB and 4.9 dB for the
Preperm-ILA and Rexolite-ILA, respectively. Additionally, the work focuses on the dielectric property
characterization of the L450 material at millimeter wave frequencies.

Axial Ratio and SLL
Authors:
Fernando Rodríguez Varela, José Luis Besada Sanmartín, Belén Galocha-Iragüen, Universidad
Page 1155 – 1158
Abstract:
Antennas used in radio astronomy and remote sensing applications often require the use of high gain
horns whose size can be impractical at lower frequencies. To overcome this problem, lens corrected
horns are employed. In this paper, the design process of a lens horn antenna with very low axial ratio
and side lobe level is reviewed. An analysis of the lens effect over the radiation pattern and matching is
performed and some guidelines on the design process are outlined. Measurements of return loss,
isolation, radiation pattern and axial ratio are given showing good agreement with the simulations.

Abstract:
Micro-fabricated resonators and band-pass iris filters for W-band applications are developed using a
novel additive microfabrication process. 3D air-filled cavities presenting an air gap of 300μm between
the ground plane and the upper shielding walls provide low dielectric losses and better energy storage.
Simulation results show center frequency at 90GHz with a bandwidth of 4% and an unloaded quality
factor for a single resonator of 783. With an accurate simulation model, minimum insertion loss of
-1.6dB and return loss of -24dB have been calculated.

Abstract:
This paper describes the development of additive manufactured waveguide filters qualified for satellite

Abstract:
This paper presents three-dimensional printed pyramidal horn antennas which are manufactured in
different thermoplastic materials and operate in the frequency range of 12 GHz to 20 GHz. Each
printed antenna was measured in S-parameters and radiation pattern and was compared to a
conventional commercial antenna in terms of cost, weight, development time and performances. All
the measurement results show that the performances of a 3-D printed antenna are very close to the
machined antenna. Moreover, an antenna was tested to evaluate its temperature performances.
Thermal results show that the antenna keeps good RF performances when it is submitted to high
temperature constraints and so is able to be used for high power applications.

Abstract:
This paper presents some results of SWISSto12’s developments in additive manufacturing (AM) of
metal passive RF hardware. Considerable insertion loss reduction of Aluminium and Titanium Ku- and
Ka-band waveguides fabricated using Selective Laser Melting (SLM), achieved by a proprietary surface
treatment technique, is experimentally demonstrated. In addition, preliminary experimental results for
Ka-band waveguide and filter demonstrators realised by electroforming on AM mandrels are reported.
Apart from lower manufacturing complexity, shorter lead time and reduced cost, devices fabricated in
these approaches profit from extended design freedom, while at the same time having high potential
for surviving the harsh environment typical for space applications.

METAL (JMT) process. This technology is based on spraying separately an aqueous solution containing
silver metallic ions together with a REACH compliant, aqueous based reducing agent. This process
allows to deposit chemical silver up to twenty two micron / hour at room temperature and at ambient
pressure and is already used in industrial processes for metallizing plastics, composites and
non-conductive materials in general and this in different formats (3 dimensional pieces, foils, . . .). In
the second part, results obtained with 3D printed horn antenna, metallized with the above described
process are compared with standard Cu horn antennas and 3D printed electroplated horn antennas at
mm-wave frequencies.

Abstract:
The Method of Moments (MoM) is an efficient way of obtaining solutions of integral equations for 2D
and 3D electromagnetic structures by subdividing them into simple shapes such as triangles and
rectangles and using suitable polynomial basis functions to describe fields or currents. In the presence
of sharp edges and corners, the currents may be unbounded and the accuracy of the solution may be
poor due to the inappropriate model provided by a polynomial basis. Attempts to improve the
accuracy by increasing the number of cells or the polynomial order of the basis functions may fail as a
result. In this paper new basis functions are proposed with unbounded behavior, to more efficiently
model edge and corner singularities for quadrilateral cells.

Abstract:
Switching processes in digital circuits are a source of radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Emitted electromagnetic (EM) fields can be considered noisy fields from an EMI perspective.
High-bit-rates and low power levels increase susceptibility of devices to EMI. Noise emitted by such
devices and of the printed circuit board they are embedded in is usually of cyclostationary nature. In
this contribution, we experimentally observe the cyclostationary behavior of those emissions based on
both, near and far-field measurements and we numerically compute far-field correlations based on
near-field measurement data.

Two-Dimensional Non-Periodic Metasurface for Dual Polarization

Retroreflection
Authors:
Cheng Tao, Xiaoqiang Li, Tatsuo Itoh, University of California at Los Angeles, USA
Page 1194 – 1197
Abstract:
Traditionally, retroreflection (or blazing) of an obliquely incident wave can be realized by periodic
blazed gratings. In this work, the non-periodic design method is used to achieve retroreflection for
both TE and TM plane wave. We discretize the finite surface into subwavelength elements and
characterize the element with its phase response. The scattering response of the entire surface
(demonstrated by retroreflection case in this paper) can then be determined by optimizing the local
phase response for both polarizations. The computation cost is low, and the algorithm can be easily
adjusted to reach more flexible objectives. This theoretical method has been verified by both full-wave
simulation and measurement at 10 GHz.

Through-the-Multilayered Wall Imaging Using Passive Synthetic

Aperture Radar
Authors:
Hajar Abedi, Bijan Zakeri, Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Iran
Page 1198 – 1201
Abstract:
Most of the existing through-the-wall imaging (TWI) methods using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tend
to apply an active system. In this work, a novel, passive synthetic aperture radar (PSAR), termed
TWI-PSAR, was proposed, to focus the image of multi targets behind single/multilayered wall. Incident
angle and frequency were considered the parameters that influence TWI image directly. Zero incident
angle PSAR, Z-PSAR, was exploited in TWI for enhanced target identification and feature extraction as
well as wall effect mitigation. In scenarios where background measurement might not be available or
wall parameters were unknown for compensation, Z-PSAR could be adopted. Moreover, to show the
effectiveness of the proposed PSAR method in a real situation, sources of opportunity that are
relatively wideband aligned in several directions were used to image targets behind the wall. Numerical
results showed that PSAR could be an efficient scheme in through-the-wall imaging.

Abstract:
This paper presents a low-noise amplifier (LNA) operating between 8–11 GHz. Measurement results
show that the LNA has a gain of more than 20 dB while achieving a noise figure of less than 2 dB. The
three stage topology achieves high linearity, providing an OIP3 of 29 dBm at 0.6 W power dissipation.
The robustness tests show that the circuit survives to at least 2.5 W (34 dBm) input power. With a size
of just 2.8 × 1.3 mm2 (3.6 mm2 ) the presented LNA is compact when compared to the state of the art.
The circuit is realized using the 0.25 μm Power GaN/SiC HEMT process by WIN Semiconductor.

noise amplifiers (LNA) using a commercial 0.25 μm microstrip GaN-on-SiC high electron mobility
transistor (HEMT) technology are reported. Using a novel active limiting approach in measurements,
lower than 1.75 dB noise figure (NF) and higher than 16 W CW input power survivability is obtained
from a single chip. To the best of authors’ knowledge, said LNA has the highest input power handling
performance for the given noise figure level although transistors are not optimized for low-noise
operation and input matching network is realized to compromise between noise figure and input
return loss which is better than 10 dB. Results are promising for single chip GaN frontend transceiver
architecture realization.

Abstract:
This paper reports an ultra-wideband low-noise amplifier in a transferred-substrate InP DHBT
technology. The wideband characteristics are obtained by using a distributed topology with cascode
unit cells. Each unit cell consists of two cascode-connected transistors with 500 nm emitter length and
an ft /fmax of ∼ 350/400 GHz respectively. Due to optimum line-impedance matching, low
common-base transistor’s capacitance, and low collector-current operation, the circuit also exhibits a
low noise figure. The measured circuit shows a bandwidth of 40 . . . 185 GHz with a noise figure of 8 dB
in the frequency range 75 . . . 105 GHz. Moreover, this circuit demonstrates the widest 3-dB bandwidth
operation among all reported single stage amplifiers with cascode configuration.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the possibilities of using a dynamic bias control scheme for a low noise
amplifier to compensate for performance degradation due to thermal effects. The study was performed
by characterization of bias voltage and temperature dependence between -25◦ C to 75◦ C of a GaN MMIC
LNA. The performance, in terms of gain, linearity and noise, degraded, at elevated chip temperatures.
Nonlinear behavioral models were developed and used to predict performance for different bias and
temperature conditions. Bias conditions to achieve constant gain and noise figure versus temperature
are determined. Enhanced RF performance, with improved gain and linearity is demonstrated and is
shown to require increased power and involves a trade-off between improving noise figure and gain.

Page 1217 – 1220
Abstract:
We have developed an X-band low noise figure (NF) T/R switch-module using a superconducting T/R
switch. The superconducting T/R switch was realized by combining a six-port network, two impedance
transformers and two varactor diodes. The six-port network consists of one λ/4 transmission line, two
λ/2 transmission lines and one 3λ/4 transmission line. For each λ/2 transmission line, a single
varactor diode was connected to the center of a given λ/2 transmission line by using one of the
aforementioned impedance transformers. The superconducting T/R switch was fabricated using a
high-Tc superconducting material called YBCO. An insertion loss of 0.3 dB was measured in Rx mode.
By combining the superconducting T/R switch with a limiter and a low noise amplifier (LNA), a low NF
T/R switch-module was designed. Measurements performed at X-band show an NF of 0.7 dB, which
confirms the design procedure of a low NF T/R switch-module.

Page 1221 – 1224
Abstract:
A fully integrated asymmetric Doherty power amplifier has been developed by using GaN HEMT MMIC
technology. To minimize the circuit size, a two-power-level impedance optimization method was
applied instead of using a quarter-wavelength transmission line impedance inverter for load
modulation in the Doherty amplifier. For this optimization, asymmetric configuration is required to
realize optimum impedance conditions. The 4-GHz-band GaN HEMT Doherty amplifier MMIC exhibited
a maximum drain efficiency of 56% and a maximum power-added efficiency (PAE) of 53% at 4.3 GHz,
with a saturation output power of 36 dBm. In addition, PAE of 44% was achieved at 4.2GHz on a 6-dB
output back-off condition.

Abstract:
This article presents the realization and measurement results of a 50W highly linear 3-way integrated
Wideband Doherty PA using LDMOS (laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor) technology. The
efficiency / linearity compromise is highly optimized for a power range from 12 dB OBO (output
back-off) to 8 dB OBO for the frequency range from 1800 MHz to 2200 MHz. The proposed 3-way
integrated combiner uses Cds (drain-to-source capacitance) absorption method to achieve wideband
impedance transformation. Linear gain around 16 dB with efficiency >41%, raw ACPR (Adjacent
Channel Power Ratio) of -40dBc was measured at 12 dB back off. At 8 dB back off, efficiency of 45–49%
with a raw ACPR< -35 dBc was measured with WCDMA signal. For the optimized Doherty, the
measured AMPM( amplitude-to-phase) values at P3dB level has a minimal spread < 5 deg and consistent
shape in a fractional bandwidth of 20%. At 39 dBm Pout, 8 dB OBO, the DPA was corrected to <-55 dBc
with 60 MHz ISBW in the band B1, B2, B3. The highly linear performance demonstrates that the
designed RFIC presents a suitable candidate for multi-band MIMO application for the selected
frequency band from 1800 MHz to 2200 MHz.

Abstract:
In this paper the design and realization of an asymmetrical three-way (1:1:1) GaN Doherty power
amplifier (DPA) operating at a center frequency of 5.4 GHz is presented. The DPA is constructed from
three packaged power bars, each consisting of four GaN HEMT cells (8 fingers, 300 μm unit gate width)
in 0.25 μm gate length. Performance of the realized DPA prototype is analyzed under pulsed-RF
excitation (20 μs pulse width, 10% duty cycle) at 40 V DC drain supply voltage. The measurement
results yield 48.5 dBm maximum output power, with a maximum PAE of 46%. At 6 dB output power
back-off (OPBO) the DPA demonstrates 40% PAE whereas 35% PAE is achieved at 9 dB OPBO.

Abstract:
This work aims at assessing the performance improvement offered by a dual-input digitally driven
Doherty power amplifier (DPA) with respect to the single-input topology. To this aim, an analog DPA is
designed and characterized. The equivalent digital version, which only differs by the absence of the
input power divider, is also realized and analyzed. This ensures a fair comparison of the two
topologies. Power-dependent input signal splitting between the main and auxiliary branches as well as
adaptive phase alignment are adopted in the digital version to compensate for the back-off efficiency
degradation as well as other shortcomings typically shown by traditional analog DPAs. For the first
time, the performance figures of merit of the equivalent analog and digital DPAs are compared
one-to-one systematically. The comparison over the 3.1–3.7 GHz range shows a superior efficiency
performance of the digital DPA over the analog one, both at saturation and in back-off. Furthermore,
the dual-input control also ensures higher gain and saturated output power.

Page 1241 – 1244
Abstract:
This paper reports on a design methodology and measurement results of a fully integrated low noise
amplifier (LNA) on a thinned substrate for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Several key RF
performance parameters of the LNA with different substrate thickness are evaluated through full-wave
electromagnetic (EM) simulations. The proposed LNA operating at 5.5 GHz is fabricated in a
cost-effective 0.25 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology (IHP process SGB25V; f t = 75 GHz). The Si chip is
thinned to ∼38 μm in order to be embedded seamlessly into a flexible foil system. The small-signal
gain of the LNA, measured on the chuck is 14.32 dB before thinning. The measured center frequency
on the thin silicon (thickness of 38 μm) is shifted about 700 MHz towards higher frequencies compared
to the thick silicon due to the image mirror currents within the conducting material at the backside of
the chip. The measured noise figure (NF) with the thick and thin substrate on the conducting material
is around 3.36 dB at 5.5 GHz and 3.74 dB at 6.3 GHz, respectively.

Abstract:
This paper presents the realization and characteristics of broadband plastic low cost packaged 5G High
Power Frond-End (HPFE) operating in 24–31GHz bandwidth. This demonstrator includes a Transmit
and Receive paths realized on mixed technologies: 150nm Gallium Nitride on Silicon Carbide
(AlGaN/GaN on SiC) and 150nm Gallium Arsenide (GaAs). Continuous Wave (CW) measured power
results of the Transmit path (Tx) demonstrates a maximum output power (POUT,Tx ) higher than 2W
(33.5dBm) with 24% power added efficiency (PAE), and 36dB of insertion gain (GI,Tx ) in the 24–31GHz
bandwidth. The receiver path (Rx) presents an maximum output power (POUT,Rx ) of 30mW (15.5dBm)
and an average Noise Figure (NF) of 3.6dB with an associated Insertion Gain (GI,Rx ) of 20dB in the same
bandwidth. The HPFE/Tx linearity has been investigated with several M-QAM modulation signals with
25/50 and 100MHz channel spacing and using Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) leading to 48dBc Adjacent
Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR) and 40dB Mean Squared Error (MSE) for average output powers ranging
from 17dBm to 25dBm. The linearity performances have been compared to the ones obtained with two
other linear GaAs amplifiers (PA1 and PA2) dedicated to point to point telecommunications application:
the HPFE presents similar linearity performances associated to a higher efficiency.

Page 1269 – 1272
Abstract:
The paper proposes a novel three-stage framework for rapid and reliable design optimization of
complex impedance matching transformers for energy harvesting applications. Our approach involves
inverse and forward surrogate modeling techniques. The inverse model is utilized to obtain a good
initial transformer dimensions at the equivalent network modeling level. The forward surrogates (here,
space mapping ones) permit rapid design closure at the full-wave EM simulation modeling level. The
proposed methodology is demonstrated using a four-section compact transformer for energy
harvesting applications. The circuit dimensions are scaled within wide ranges of the load impedance
magnitude and phase (from 30 to 130 ohm and -26.5 to 26.5 degrees, respectively) at low
computational cost corresponding to up to three EM analyses of the transformer structure. Reliability
of the framework is validated through comprehensive numerical experiments as well as application
case studies. The latter are provided to indicate that appropriate transformer design is critical for
performance improvement of the rectifier circuits, both in terms of operational bandwidth and
matching.

Abstract:
This work presents the application of vertical solderless coaxial connectors for the 2.92mm and
1.85mm standards operating up to 67 GHz. Optimized PCB footprints are designed to minimize the
interface reflections in conjunction with a widely available RF substrate. A return loss above 20 dB up
to 30 GHz for the 2.92mm connector and above 15 dB up to 60 GHz for the 1.85mm connector is
achieved. The de-embedded insertion loss per connector does not exceed 0.5 dB at 40 GHz and 0.75 dB
at 67 GHz, respectively. A differential wideband amplifier and an ultra-wideband antenna are packaged
and measured as practical demonstration, showing only a slight decrease in performance over the full
bandwidth of interest.

Abstract:
We propose a transmitter configuration with a phase-adjusting function between subarrays for beam
multiplexing. We demonstrate a 28-GHz CMOS phased array chip with a phase-adjusting function for a
beam-multiplexing transmitter. The phased array chip has two subarrays, each having four transmit
channels to accurately set output phases and amplitudes via a multi-channel 10-bit-resolution
digital-to-analog converter. The phase-setting resolution of the chip is less than 1.0◦ . The phase array
chip also has nine mixers for detecting the phase difference between subarrays in the chip, between
channels in the subarray, and between the chip and another chip. The measured root-mean-square
(RMS) output phase error and the measured RMS phase-difference detection error of the chip are both
0.7◦ . Using this chip with a high-precision phase-adjusting function, it is possible to realize a
transmitter with a signal-to-interference ratio of over 25 dB for beam multiplexing. We also propose an
antenna configuration for two-dimensional beam scanning and horizontal beam multiplexing using the
phased array chips.

Author:
Gavin T. Watkins, Toshiba Research Europe, UK
Page 1309 – 1312
Abstract:
A digital transmitter architecture is described composed of two independent class E amplifiers with
different saturate output powers (POUT ). Their output ports are connected directly together without a
switch or combiner. The two amplifiers are enabled or disabled by alternatively biasing their gates in
synch with the envelope of the input signal. The transmitter is optimised for 16 state amplitude phase
shift keying (16-APSK). Under simulation, the two class E amplifiers were optimised for a POUT of 13.6
dBm and 22.7 dBm. 71.4% and 78.2% power added efficiency (PAE) was achieved respectively. The same
transistor was used for both amplifiers and the different POUT defined by the quality factor (Q) of their
output bandpass filter (BPF). A practical implementation achieved 49.8% and 45.6% PAE at POUT s of 14.0
dBm and 20.3 dBm respectively. With a 16-APSK signal, 46.9% PAE was achieved at 19.8 dBm POUT , with
an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 5.7%.

Abstract:
An X-Band Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) High Power Amplifier (HPA) with coplanar
waveguide (CPW) based on AlGaN/GaN on SiC technology is presented in this paper. Coplanar
waveguide technology (CPW) is chosen for the simplicity and reduced cost of fabrication since CPW

power of 36.5dBm at 1 dB gain compression point (P1dB ) and 40% power added efficiency (PAE) at (P1dB )
in the desired frequency band (8 GHz–8.4 GHz) with Vds = 30V.

Abstract:
A W -band Schottky diode based frequency tripler which uses waveguide resonator filters for low loss
impedance matching is presented in this paper. Impedance matching of the diodes is achieved by
scaling the external quality factors and adjusting the resonant frequencies of the filter cavities. This
removes most of the matching structures from the high loss microstrip circuit to the lower loss
waveguide resonators. Here the output frequency of the tripler is set to be 90 GHz with a 10%
bandwidth. The simulation shows a conversion loss of 13–13.8 dB in the pass-band with an input
power of 13–20 dBm. The measured conversion loss over the pass-band is 13.6 –15.8 dB for 17 dBm
input power and better than 14 dB at 90 GHz for 13–20 dBm input power.

effects. The extended model is identified from conventional CW or pulsed X-parameter measurements,
over a range of ambient temperatures. A re-referencing of the extracted X-parameter data to the
junction temperature is performed, based on estimated or a calculated thermal resistance and thermal
capacitance. The model can also be generated in the simulation environment starting from a dynamic
electro-thermal compact time-domain model. The DTXM accounts for thermally-induced asymmetry of
intermodulation distortion products and temperature hysteresis depending on the signal bandwidth.

A Ku-Band Injection-Locked Push-Push Oscillator Using

Two-Wavelength Ring Resonator
Authors:
Elton N. Lima, Takayuki Tanaka, Ichihiko Toyoda, Saga University, Japan
Page 1325 – 1328
Abstract:
This paper presents an injection-locked push-push oscillator which generates the second harmonic
signal in Ku-band. Two sub-oscillators operate in-phase at the same fundamental frequency in a
two-wavelength ring resonator. Moreover, two external injection signals are placed on the resonator at
a half-wavelength between the sub-oscillators. The oscillator does not require additional phase-shift
between the injection signals, and this task is done by the resonator and the power combining circuit.
The push-push principle is satisfied by synchronization due to the phase relation of the sub-oscillators
and the external injection signal source. Phase noise improvement was achieved by the injection
locking.

Abstract:
In this paper, millimeter-wave detection is conducted for the first time on the basis of graphene
photo-thermoelectric effect. Upon receiving millimeter-wave radiation, graphene generates hot carriers
which diffuse towards the nearby drain and source contact metals, and causing a differential
drain-source voltage. To optimize detection performance, devices with different drain and source
contact metals as well as graphene geometries are designed and tested. Measured results show that
using Yb-graphene-Au metal combination with a 25 μm contact length perform the best, with a
responsivity of 1.99 V/W.

Page 1333 – 1336
Abstract:
A wideband frequency multipliers using SiGe bipolar transistors are proposed in this paper. The main
circuit of these frequency multipliers consists of an attenuator followed by a bias network and a band
pass filter which selects the desired harmonic at the output. The designed doubler can convert a 2–3
GHz input signal to a 4–6 GHz signal, with high suppressions of 59 dB, and 41 dB on the fundamental,
and the third harmonic respectively. The tripler can convert a 2.3–2.7 GHz input signal to a 7–8 GHz
signal, with suppressions of 68 dB, 52 dB, and 43 dB on the fundamental, the second, and fourth
harmonics respectively.

Abstract:
A compact antenna diversity system with a new integrated circuit is presented for automotive
reception of satellite digital audio radio services (SDARS) at 2.3 GHz. For a scan-phase antenna
diversity with switching and phase alignment of up to three antenna paths, the integrated circuit
includes RF switches, phase-alignment and signal combining as well as the frequency conversion for
level detection. This is the first integrated circuit for SDARS scan-phase antenna diversity, which
includes all the diversity functions except for level detection and digital signal processing. With the
integrated circuit with a package size of only 9 mm by 9 mm a compact hardware demonstrator is
realized. The diversity circuit is independent of the radio and offers the same interface to the radio as
a conventional single antenna. In laboratory measurements characteristic values of the RF signal paths
like gain and variable phase shift are determined. In addition, the new compact diversity circuit is also
evaluated in a real fading scenario on a single side mirror of the test vehicle showing a significant
reduction of audio mutes by the diversity system compared to single antenna reception.

Abstract:
This paper presents a wideband voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using hybrid technology based on
bipolar transistors for a new generation TTC Transponder.
The VCO is based on microstrip three-pole combline bandpass filter with just one varactor diode. The
bandpass filter is embedded into the feed-back loop to treat as a frequency stabilization element. The
VCO delivered 4.63 dBm maximum output power at 3.4 GHz with a current consumption of 17.4 mA
for a supply voltage of 3 V and it has a tuning range achieved from 600 MHz being the frequency range
from 2.8 GHz to 3.4 GHz. The developed VCO with three pole combline filter is experimentally
demonstrated at 3.4 GHz with a phase noise of -126 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. In addition,
over this frequency range, all the phase noises measured at 1 MHz are better than -118 dBc/Hz.

Abstract:
Advanced internet and multimedia set-top boxes are today massively based on 4*4 MIMO systems, with
multi-sub-bands standards (WIFI bands, LTE, Bluetooth,. . .). Interconnections between the numerous
access ports of different radio chipsets mounted on a main PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and multiple
antennas spatially distributed on the plastic casing become therefore a great challenge for cost and
performances motivations. The flex technology, based on well-controlled and low cost process, brings
new functionalities and opportunities for assembling sub-systems, under compactness considerations,
as well as electrical performances improvement.
In this paper, we discuss about the characterisation of connectors used for flexible printed circuit to a
main PCB interconnections. The choice of the connectors is a critical issue, and must be properly done
considering both local ground and signal interconnections constraints. Simulation and measurements
are performed up to 15Ghz covering WIFI bands.

Page 1349 – 1352
Abstract:
In this paper, we describe a miniature power-combiner for monolithic millimeter-wave integrated
circuit (MMIC) chips using spatial power-combining with cavity modes. We have designed GaN MMIC
power amplifier chips for 94 GHz, and illustrate the concept of the W-Band Spatial Power Combining
Amplifier (WSPCA). Using 1 Watt, 94 GHz MMIC chips in a two-way cavity mode combiner, we were able
to achieve 2 Watts of output power with 9 dB gain and 15% PAE. This technique could be extended to
high power MMICs and larger numbers of chips to achieve higher output power in a compact size.
Current applications include earth science radar, and may be extended to other applications requiring
wider bandwidth.

30-mW Output Power
Authors:
Jose V. Siles, Ken B. Cooper, Choonsup Lee, Robert Lin, Goutam Chattopadhyay, Imran Mehdi, Jet

Page 1353 – 1356
Abstract:
We report on a compact high-power 510–560 GHz GaAs Schottky diode based frequency tripler with
enhanced power handling capabilities, showing a world-record measured peak power of 30 mW, at
room-temperature, when pumped with 350–400 mW. This corresponds to a ten times better
performance than previously reported sources in this frequency range. The increase in power handling
capabilities is achieved by using an improved epitaxial structure together with an on-chip power
combined topology that allows to combine several multiplying structures onto a single chip. The chip
also exhibits a state-of-the-art conversion efficiency of 8–9% without any correction for the losses in
fixtures/transitions used for the tests.

Abstract:
A 300 GHz source based on discrete Schottky diodes technology is reported in this work. The high
frequency part developed by ACST consists of two high power and high efficiency doublers, one at
135–160 GHz and a second one at 270–320 GHz. Both doublers feature a single chip per module and
do not use any power combining techniques. The 150 GHz and 300 GHz doublers are able to handle
more than 400 mW and 100 mW input power and provide more than 140 mW and 30 mW output
power, respectively. This is the most powerful 300 GHz source reported based on discrete Schottky
diodes at this frequency range without u sing power combining.

a 250-GHz f T SiGe BiCMOS technology. Theoretical boundaries and results from simulations are
verified by measurements. The measured phase jitter of the VCO was less than 1.17 ps rms across the

Abstract:
We present two frequency doublers in 130 nm InP HBT technology. The doublers use digital logic and
DC negative feedback to suppress unwanted harmonics. The single-ended output of the lower
frequency doubler has -5 dBm output power over 32 GHz to 53 GHz output frequency range. First and
third harmonic rejection is higher than 30 dBc. The delay control circuit with the feedback loop
enables fourth harmonic rejection higher than 18 dBc. It consumes 0.94 W. The higher frequency

Near-Field Beam Focusing and Steering Generator Based on 3D Curved

Substrate Integrated Waveguide
Authors:
Ya Fei Wu, Yu Jian Cheng, UESTC, China
Page 1373 – 1376
Abstract:
Traditional planar microwave devices face with some limitations, which will restrict their applications.
For example, the generation of a quadratic phase distribution for large near-field focused (NFF) array
antennas is difficult because of the limitation of the phase control capability of the traditional
beam-forming network. In this paper, a three dimensional (3D) curved substrate integrated waveguide
(SIW) transmission line is proposed as a feeding carrier to enhance the amplitude and phase control
capability. The longitudinal position of the slotted SIW is employed sufficiently to break the limitation
of amplitude and phase control capability. On this basis, the 3D curved SIW can be applied to design
the NFF generator that requires high phase control capability. A leaky-wave SIW slot array antenna is
designed to slow the sharp change in phase to increase the element density, and compensate focal shift
caused by the frequency steering. Finally, the NFF 3D curved SIW slot array antenna is fabricated and
measured. It has the ability of wide steerable range with stable height.

Antenna Arrays
Authors:
Patrik Grüner, Son Nguyen, Tobias Chaloun, Christian Waldschmidt, Universität Ulm, Germany
Page 1377 – 1380
Abstract:
Biomimetic Antenna Arrays (BMAAs) are able to enhance the angle estimation of miniaturized radar
sensors by mimicking the hearing system of a fly. This technique has significant advantages over
conventional approaches when only limited space is available. While recent works show the
enhancement for targets in the vicinity of the boresight direction only, this work presents a more
generalized design methodology to enhance the angle estimation for off-boresight targets. Radar
measurements of a realized BMAA have been conducted and show a significant increase in angle
estimation capability compared to a conventional antenna array at a target angle of 20 degrees.

On the Use of Dielectric Honeycomb as Microwave Substrate for 3D

Long Range Radar Antennas
Authors:
G. Posada, Julián I. Gómez, C. Zarzuelo, Indra Sistemas, Spain
Page 1381 – 1384
Abstract:
Dielectric honeycomb structures are a suitable substrate for microwave applications since their
dielectric constant and losses are low and when laminated they offer excellent mechanical properties
and light weight. This paper studies the electrical properties of dielectric honeycomb structures
composed of various materials for large antenna distribution networks. Glass fiber honeycomb with
polyimide resin is shown to have very low losses although they are higher than that of a closed cell
polyethylene foam material. Additionally, the honeycomb material is shown to be anisotropic in the
two axes containing the honeycomb cells, which can complicate the distribution network design and
manufacturing. Finally, the adhesive placed near the Cu track needed to build the laminated structure
is shown to increase the losses, while the adhesive near the ground is not critical in this regard.

Page 1389 – 1392
Abstract:
In this paper we present a fully-electronic, high spectral efficiency one meter wireless link working at a
maximum speed of 90 Gbps. It is based on a RF Tx and Rx front-end chipset working at a tunable
carrier of 220–260 GHz. The chipset was manufactured in a SiGe 0.13μm HBT technology with
ft /fmax =350/550 GHz. The Tx delivers a maximum output power of 8.5 dBm and its dc power
consumption is 960 mW. The receiver peak conversion gain is 21 dB and its minimum single side band
noise figure is 9.5 dB with a power consumption of 1 W. The 6-dB bandwidth measured between the Tx
baseband input and the Rx baseband output is 15 GHz. To increase the speed of our previous work of
65 Gbps based on a QPSK modulation scheme, an increase in the spectral efficiency of the link is
needed. Applying a back off in the Tx of 4 dB, a link based on a 16-QAM modulation scheme with an
spectral efficiency of 2 bits per hertz was achieved. For data-rates of 80 Gbps and below, the EVM
achieved was under 11.2%, while for 90 Gbps the measured EVM was 15%.

Abstract:
This paper analyses the achievable signal quality of a novel system architecture for small cell units
with integrated millimetre-wave wireless backhaul over realistic link lengths. The small cell unit is
mainly based on a simple frequency conversion from backhaul to access frequencies. Therefore, the
data signal on the backhaul link is solely a frequency shifted version of the 3GPP compliant signal on
the access link. The sufficient linearity and phase noise performance at 60 GHz was proven in an
outdoor long-distance trial by measurements of an LTE signal easily meeting the 3GPP requirements for
the access link. Moreover, a successful outdoor test of our full end-to-end LTE mobile communication
system with a commercial user device demonstrated the required high data rates.

Abstract:
This paper reports on characterization and performance evaluation of a 1-m 220–260 GHz tunable
carrier wireless link with highly-integrated direct-conversion quadrature TX/RX modules implemented
in 0.13μm SiGe HBT technology with ft/fmax of 350/550 GHz. Under limited IF bandwidth constraints
of 15 GHz, the maximum achieved data rates for BPSK/QPSK modulation schemes are 35 Gbps with an
EVM of 28.9% and 65 Gbps with an EVM of 31.5%, respectively. It is further found that the current link
performance is not limited by the AWGN-related SNR but mainly affected by the RF front-end
imperfections related to large operation bandwidth.

Abstract:
In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility of a novel carrier recovery approach for broadband
wireless communication systems with direct conversion topology through measurements. In a direct
conversion IQ mixer, a part of the local oscillator (LO) signal is leaked to the radio frequency (RF) port.
Consequently the RF signal traveling over the air towards receiver contains a part of the LO signal. This
work introduces a method to extract the LO content from the received signal in a modulation type and
baud rate independent manner with a single hardware setup.

Abstract:
A 15 Gbps wireless link over 50 cm distance is reported in this paper. A high power and low phase
noise resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillator is employed as the transmitter. The fundamental
carrier frequency is 84 GHz and the maximum output power is 2 mW without any power amplifier. The
measured phase noise value was -79 dBc/Hz at 100 KHz and -96 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The
modulation scheme used was amplitude shift keying (ASK). The 15 Gbps data link showed a correctable

Abstract:
In this work, for the first time, a 3D printed slotted waveguide array antenna with 12 radiating
elements and a differential feed design for W-band is presented. A gain of 12 dBi is achieved with a half
power beam width of 6◦ and a side lobe level of 19 dB due to the optimized radiating slot elements
position and geometry. The tilt angle remains within 2◦ in the frequency range from 75 GHz to 82 GHz
and within only 1◦ from 77 GHz to 82 GHz respectively. A well known concept is applied to improve
metal plating process and thus, allow for a complex differential feed structure.

Abstract:
A 24-GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar system and its possible use in airborne
vehicles is presented in this paper. The focus of this paper is set on the ultralight antennas and their
integration into radar systems for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. For this purpose a
radiator arrangement was designed and then 3d-printed twice out of plastics with various methods.
Different metallization processes were used to establish conductivity afterwards. Particularly, one
antenna was plated with a conventional method and one with a new metallization technique, which
makes it feasible to cover a non conducting part with silver within seconds. The weight of the antenna
is 7–8 times less, than compared to full metal antennas. Subsequently, both antennas were measured,
characterized and compared to each other in terms of reflection loss and beam pattern. It will be
shown that the antenna metallized by the new technology can achieve 2–3 dB better results in return
loss than the conventionally plated one in the 24-GHz ISM band. Also it will be shown that both
prototypes are similar regarding their gain. Moreover, the antennas were mounted onto a radar,
located on the UAV and then flight tests up to 120 meters have been performed. These results were
recorded, processed and evaluated finally.

Page 1421 – 1424
Abstract:
In this paper a novel technique is proposed to reduce the mutual coupling between the radiating
elements of a waveguide slot array antenna. This is achieved by inserting slots between the waveguide
oval shaped slots. The reference waveguide array antenna used in the study was implemented with an
arrangement of 3×5 oval shaped slots. By incorporating linear slots between the radiating oval shaped
slots in both horizontal and vertical directions significant reduction in mutual coupling is achieved of
24 dB, 20 dB, and 32 dB in the frequency bands of 12.95–13.75 GHz (Ku-band), 15.45–16.85 GHz
(Ku-band), and 18.85–23.0 GHz (K-band), respectively. Edge-to-edge distance between the slot radiators
is 0.2λ, which is at least two-fold smaller than conventional array antennas. With the slot isolators the
antenna’s minimum and maximum gains improve by 53.5% and 25.5%, respectively. In addition, the
radiation patterns are unaffected. The proposed method is simple to implement, low cost solution
mass production.

Abstract:
A metasurface based decoupling structure that is composed of a square-wave slot pattern with

adjacent patch antennas for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO)
systems. The proposed 1×2 symmetric array antenna integrated with the proposed decoupling
isolation structure is designed to operate at ISM bands of X, Ku, K, and Ka. With the proposed mutual
coupling suppression technique (i) the average isolation in the respective ISM bands listed above is 7
dB, 10 dB, 5 dB, and 10 dB; and (ii) edge-to-edge gap between adjacent radiation elements is reduced to
10 mm (0.28λ). The average antenna gain improvement with the metasurface isolator is 2 dBi.

Abstract:
We present the first demonstration of a thermal-noise-limited 95 GHz frequency modulated continuous
wave (FMCW) Doppler radar with high (1 Watt) transmit power and long-range Doppler detection
capabilities. The 95 GHz radar is part of the GAISR (Gas And Ice Spectrometer/Radar) instrument to
probe the dynamics and distribution of cometary jets and plumes in icy bodies in the solar system.
Radar measurements were carried out using a variety of targets at different range and velocities, such
as freeway cars, clouds, rain and hillsides, to test the range and Doppler capabilities. The compact
design (a single 15 cm diameter primary antenna), and high quality data presented in this paper makes
this 95 GHz FMCW radar uniquely suitable for future space missions for Planetary and Earth Science
applications.

Abstract:
A multistatic dual frequency radar operating at 91.5 GHz and 150.3 GHz is designed and utilized to
measure particle dimensions in a multidisperse particle stream. From the physical relations a size
measurement routine is derived. In a numerical study we then investigate how a multistatic antenna
configuration can improve the state-of-the-art method which usually is performed with a monostatic
radar. Based on the simulation results, we present the layout of the radar sensor and experimental
setup. Finally, measurement results are provided and discussed.

Page 1437 – 1440
Abstract:
We are developing a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar between 167 and 174.8 GHz
to measure differential absorption due to water vapor within the atmospheric boundary layer. In this
work, we report on single-frequency measurements performed within this band in the presence of
precipitating clouds. Despite the relatively low transmit power of 6–10 dBm, the high transmit/receive
isolation and low noise figure of the system enables detection of radar echos from rain or clouds with
high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) out to about one kilometer. This work builds on technology developed
and measurements performed in our group in the 183.5 to 193 GHz band, which is subject to
transmission restrictions due to passive remote sensing platforms that rely on those frequencies.

Kudret Akçapınar, Süleyman Baykut, TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, Turkey
Page 1441 – 1444
Abstract:
One of the main challenges in foreign object debris detection radar systems is the statistical
characterization of the received signals. In this paper, Non-Central Chi-square Distribution with
Unequal Variances is proposed to characterize the received background signal. A practical search
algorithm for the determination of the detection threshold under this distribution is also suggested.
Through both Monte Carlo simulations and real data measurements, the comparison of the proposed
detection procedure with widely used statistical models is made in terms of fulfillment of the given
false alarm probability.

Abstract:
In this study, the attenuation of 300 GHz signal propagating through a layer of leaves which can built
upon the antenna radome is investigated. Three set of leaves (Lauren, Birch, Willow) are chosen in this
measurement as likely obscurants which can stick to automotive radar radome and cause signal
degradation. Transmissivity through uniform layer of the leaves with different water contents is
measured. The water content is estimated in leaves drying gradually. The complex permittivity of the
leaves with different water contents is estimated and these values are used to calculate the
transmissivity through the uniform layer of leaves. Comparison of transmissivity in equivalent water
layer with that of leaves having the same water content is made. Measured transmissivity through
leaves is compared with that obtained by theoretical model.

Abstract:
A novel wide band compact grid antenna array is developed for 79 GHz MIMO radar applications. The
key issue is the stable radiation pattern with flat gain characteristic along the whole frequency
bandwidth, which is very advantageous for the targeted radar applications. The antenna is taped out
with the new high resolution multi-layer PCB technology, called “Any-Layer PCB”. This technology
provides the possibility to stack micro-vias in PCB boards and reduce the fabrication cost compared to
other multi-layer technologies in mm-wave bands. With this feature, the width of the array has been
compacted with 17.2%, which leads to a higher side lobe suppression and an enhancement of the field
of view in radar applications. A combined impedance and 3-dB gain band width of 9.6% is achieved.
The gain and SLL are 13.52 dB and -14 dB at 79 GHz, respectively.

A Full-Array-Grid-Compatible Wideband Tx/Rx Multipack Using

Multifunctional Chips on GaN and SiGe
Authors:
Ralf Rieger, Andreas Klaaßen, Patrick Schuh, Martin Oppermann, HENSOLDT Sensors, Germany
Page 1453 – 1456
Abstract:
A next generation of RF sensor modules for multifunction AESA systems shall provide a combination
of different operating modes, e.g. Radar, EW and Communications/Datalink within the same antenna
frontend. Typical operating frequencies covering C-Band, X-Band and Ku-Band will require a bandwidth
of > 10 GHz, here. As for the realisation of modern active electronically steered antennas (AESA) the
Transmit/Receive (Tx/Rx) Modules have to match with geometry constraints a major challenge for
these future multifunction RF sensor modules is given by the half-wavelength grid demand derived
from the highest frequency with accordant need for grating lobe free Field of View. One key to
overcome this geometry demand can be the reduction of the total MMIC chip area with a “high-level”
integration of single chip based RF functions into new multifunctional MMICs realised in SiGe- and
GaN-technology. Further channel width reduction can be achieved by realising Tx/Rx multipacks
instead of single-channel Tx/Rx Modules.

Diagnostics of the Phased Array for E-Band Using Holography Data

Authors:
Mikko K. Leino, Md. Mazidul Islam, Juha Ala-Laurinaho, Ville Viikari, Aalto University, Finland
Page 1457 – 1460
Abstract:
This paper presents antenna diagnostics of a 4 by 4 phased antenna array for 71–86 GHz, which could
be potentially used as a future 5G access point. The antenna elements have their own phase shifters
each and are fed from the one-port feeding network, which results in a challenge in single element
performance analysis. To overcome this, the antenna has been measured with a near-field scanner and
the acquired data is processed to form the holography presentation of the antenna radiation at its very
aperture. The hologram results are further handled to analyze the phase shifters of each element and
the operation of the feeding network over the observed frequency range. The mean amplitude and
phase for the each element are calculated and the results are verified by calculation of the far-field
using the processed values and compared to the far-field measurement results. The results show good
agreement and the phase shifters work as intended resulting in the antenna beam steering accordingly.
However, the feeding network is quite frequency-sensitive and it leaves much improvement especially
for the 75–82 GHz band.

A Zero-IF Auto-Calibration System for Phased Array Antennas

Authors:
Mehdi Salehi, Safieddin Safavi-Naeini, University of Waterloo, Canada
Page 1461 – 1464
Abstract:
A simple, compact, and low-cost implementation of an auto-calibration system for evaluating a
Ka-band phased array active element is presented. The proposed technique estimates the
amplitude/phase unbalance of each antenna element induced by feed circuit and characterizes phase
shifter and variable gain amplifier (VGA) attached to each individual antenna element in an array
configuration. This intelligent calibration system employs phased locked loop (PLL) oscillators to
generate an RF test signal and a LO calibration signal. The former is used for down-converting the
signal output from the antenna element under test for phase and amplitude measurement. The latter is
used to compensate the quadrature mixer error in low-IF topology. The antenna signal amplitude and
phase are extracted from the I/Q signals. This approach can compensate for most of the associated
errors caused by nonlinearity of the quadrature modules and amplifiers using internal time-varying
phase. A back-to-back measurement shows the proposed scheme can offer an accuracy of ±2 degrees
in phase and ±0.3 dB in amplitude over a 30-dB dynamic range.

Abstract:
Advanced internet and multimedia set-top boxes are today massively based on 4*4 MIMO systems, with
multi-sub-bands standards (Wifi bands, LTE, Bluetooth,. . .). Multiple antennas spatially distributed on
the plastic casing become therefore a great challenge for cost and performances motivations, thus
promoting flexible technology and substrate, for assembling sub-systems, under compactness
considerations, as well as electrical performances improvement.
In this paper, we discuss about the characterisation of Multi-band antennas designed on an ultra-low
cost material (a cellulosic substrate, i.e. a paper) with design challenges in terms of radiation efficiency
maximization and wideband properties under compactness constraints. Simulation and measurements
are proposed to validate the designs.

Abstract:
In this paper we propose a compensation technique for millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency doubler
based outphasing system adopted to generate wideband vector modulated signals. The compensation
technique utilizes multi-tone test signals to detect the system’s distortions. These include the
frequency doubler’s unavoidable non-linearity due to the band limitation of the phase modulated
outphasing signals and the gain and phase mismatch between the two outphasing signal paths. For
that, an interleaved multi-tone modulated signal is used to characterize these non-idealities and
synthesize a memoryless predistorter and a linear outphasing mismatch compensation filter to
mitigate their effects. These blocks are subsequently applied for generating digitally modulated signals
at 25 GHz with modulation bandwidths of 80 and 160 MHz with improved quality of signal.

Page 1473 – 1476
Abstract:
A simple measuring method for acquiring the radiation pattern of an ultra-wide band Vivaldi antenna
is presented. The measuring is performed by combining two identical Vivaldi antennas and some of
the intrinsic properties of a stepped-frequency continue wave radar (SFCW radar) in the range from
1.0GHz to 6.0GHz. A stepper-motor provided the azimuthal rotation for one of the antennas from 0◦ to
360◦ . The tests have been performed within the conventional environment (laboratory / office) without
using an anechoic chamber or absorbing materials. Special measuring devices have not been used
either. This method has been tested with different pairs of Vivaldi antennas and it can be also used for
different ones (with little or no change in the system), as long as their operational bandwidth is within
the frequency range of the SFCW radar.

Abstract:
A full-duplex system is realised using dual EBG isolated rectangular spiral antennas and its
performance is compared with the same full-duplex system using a circulator and a single spiral
antenna element. The new antenna system consists of two antennas one with RHCP and the another
one with LHCP implemented on a single substrate. Two columns of EBG is placed between the two
antennas to improve the isolation. At the operating frequency of 3.2 GHz, the antenna configuration
has nearly 31 dB isolation. For the identical baseband input power, the full-duplex system utilising dual
spiral antenna configuration exhibits 9 dB higher isolation than the circulator based full-duplex system.

Abstract:
A novel water content monitoring system of a grapevine based on the reflectivity measurement on the
plant trunk at the terahertz band is presented. In order to simulate different outdoor conditions,
mainly temperature and lighting, the whole setup, which includes the grapevine and the measurement
system, has been settled inside a growth chamber. Fluctuations of lighting conditions, temperature and
irrigation have been correlated with variations of the signal power reflected on the trunk using both
time domain broadband measurements and, magnitude and phase frequency domain narrowband
measurements. The innovative setup enables the achievement of more reliable and accurate results
when external conditions vary. Finally, the results have been contrasted, with high level of correlation,
with long-established techniques using a dendrometer and a humidity probe.

Page 1505 – 1508
Abstract:
Millimetre wave sensors are capable of measuring the structure and composition as well as detecting
small variations thereof in a wide range of dielectric materials, such as plastics, dry goods and
foodstuffs. To produce an image that modern image recognition algorithms can be applied on, a
resolution, i.e. pixel density, comparable to those of optical cameras has to be realized. In this paper,
we present a rotating scanner system that operates in a CW mode at 90 GHz and allows for a high pixel
density for medium measurement object velocities using only a single measurement channel.
Additionally, we present an image exploitation setup for the detection of defects in scanned goods and
the fusion of amplitude and phase data as well as images acquired from an optical camera for fast and
easy goods inspection.

Abstract:
Being materials that support terahertz waves propagation, layered superconductors attract great
attention of many researchers. The Josephson plasma modes localized on a slab of layered
superconductor can possess an anomalous dispersion. The possibility of the anomalous dispersion
manipulation opens wide perspectives for applications. One of the tools that can flexibly change the
electromagnetic properties of layered superconductors is the external DC magnetic field. The effect of
the DC magnetic field on the spectrum of the localized modes is a subject of the present paper. We
present the derivation and analysis of the dispersion relations and discuss some interesting corollaries
such as resonant amplification of wave transmission induced by the internal excitation of the localized
modes and the possibility of the internal reflection of the localized modes controlled by the external
DC magnetic field.

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel impulse radio transceiver based on a 2-bit pulse-position modulation (PPM)
system for E-band wireless communication systems. We propose a time-based modulation architecture
for a wireless transceiver. This is a promising architecture for deep-submicron and nanoscale CMOS
technology. The performance of the wireless transceiver can be enhanced as the speed of the CMOS
circuit increases. The transmitter is composed of four circuit blocks: a pulse-position modulator,
impulse generator, millimeter-wave bandpass filter, and power amplifier. The receiver is comprised of
a conventional quadrature demodulator. The transmitter and receiver chipset is fabricated in 55-nm
standard CMOS technology. In transceiver loop-back tests, a data rate of 7.0 Gb/s with repetition data
and 4.6 Gb/s with pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) data are demonstrated.

Abstract:
This paper presents the design and the performance of a six stage GaAs MMIC distributed amplifier
(DA) for optical driver applications. The DA is fabricated in a commercially available 0.15 μm GaAs
p-HEMT technology. The amplifier exhibits 13 dB of small gain over 40 GHz of 3 dB bandwidth with a
power consumption equal to 550 mW. Group delay time variation up to 30 GHz is only ±7 ps. The
output power is higher than 16 dBm (4 Vpp ), which makes the circuit suitable as a preamplifier for
lithium-niobate (LiNbO3 ) optical modulator driver. The DA is demonstrated as a part of the modulator
driver in a 12.5 GBps PAM-4 (25Gbps) optical system by using the eye diagram as a figure of merit.

Abstract:
This paper presents two novel transitions in gap-waveguide technology. The first transition, a
rectangular waveguide to groove-gap waveguide in the V band, shows a return loss better than 15 dB
within a 15% bandwidth. The second transition, a rectangular waveguide to ridge-gap waveguide in the
Ka band, exhibits 20% bandwidth with a return loss level above 20 dB. These transitions are aimed to
serve as input ports in corporate feeding networks designed in gap-waveguide technology. Such
technology has recently demonstrated to be advantageous to properly distribute the energy in
high-gain array antennas.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel design of a wideband compact circularly polarized circular antenna array
for satellite TV reception. The circular array is based on a wideband circularly polarized spiral antenna
element which has excellent impedance matching (VSWR ≤ 1.5) and axial ratio bandwidths for the
satellite-to-ground downlink at Ku-band from 11.7–12.7 GHz. A 16-element circular sub-array is
presented with a fixed 23◦ electronically steered beam upwards which is appropriate for Astra satellite
communications in the UK. Furthermore, circular sub-arrays with different numbers of elements (8, 16,
24, 32 and, 40) are also studied. It is shown that the circular antenna array is particularly suitable for
satellite TV reception while being vertically mounted on a wall because of its low profile, broadband
and electronically steered beam.

1-bit phase quantization and based on wideband high efficiency unit cells. The unit cell consists of two
identical square patch antennas loaded by C-loop slots and interconnected in their centers by a

Page 1533 – 1536
Abstract:
For automated driving applications, high resolution radar systems are necessary to extract more
information about different types of objects in the environment. However, a single automotive
microcontroller might not be sufficient to processing high number of transmit and receive antenna
channels. Hence, in this paper, a system concept for distributed signal processing of high resolution
FMCW MIMO radar has been proposed to highlight the feasibility using automotive microcontrollers.
The execution time and computational/memory requirements show the feasibility of such systems for
automotive safety applications.

Abstract:
Advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving applications use radar sensors for different
safety features. High resolution in azimuth dimension using radar can facilitate these applications (e.g.
parking). However, these safety critical applications are realized on embedded systems with finite
memory and computational power and need to react in real-time for passenger safety. With synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) signal processing, it is possible to get a higher resolution representation of the
environment. In this paper, we discuss a real-time embedded system realization of a SAR concept
suitable for automotive applications. The computational and memory consumption aspects of the
system concept are discussed and verified through real-world measurements in an integrated
automotive microcontroller.

Abstract:
This paper introduces the use of machine learning techniques for an efficient design of shaped-beam
reflectarrays considerably accelerating the overall process while providing accurate results. The
technique is based on the use of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for the characterization of the
reflection coefficient matrix, which provides an efficient way for deriving the scattering parameters
associated with the unit cell dimensions. In this way, the SVMs are used within the design process to
obtain a reflectarray layout instead of a Full-Wave analysis tool based on Local Periodicity (FW-LP). The
accuracy of the SVMs is assessed and the influence of the discretization of the angle of incidence is
studied. Finally, a considerable acceleration is achieved with regard to the FW-LP and other works in
the literature employing Artificial Neural Networks.

Page 1549 – 1552
Abstract:
When measuring the near-field of an antenna, often there are gaps in the measured data where the
radiated fields are too low in magnitude to be measured or the measurement probe can’t physically
reach. Similarly in the measurement of RCS data such gaps can also be observed due to various
physical limitations. To address this problem in the measurement of the field data, the antenna
characteristic is measured over a certain elevation range, theta, up to the point where measurement
becomes difficult or inaccurate. The gap in the data is then approximated using the matrix pencil
method. By applying the matrix pencil method, the data is interpolated or extrapolated using
estimated residues and poles of an exponential signal model. The Total Least Squares (TLS)
implementation of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is used to obtain the residues and poles
from the data. Once these parameters are obtained, the near-field can be estimated by a sum of
complex exponentials. The far-field is obtained by using a spherical near to far-field transformation. A
numerical example is provided to show the applicability of the matrix pencil method in interpolating a
gap in antenna measurement data. Similar methodology can be applied to the RCS data.

Antenna Array Module
Authors:

Page 1553 – 1556
Abstract:
Number of antennas per an antenna module will increase in upcoming 5G millimeter wave (mmW) radio
products. The usage of antenna arrays compensates the increased propagation loss of a radio signal at
mmW frequencies. The worst performing antenna defines the quality level MIMO antenna module. This
paper presents an analysis and a relationship between the variation of the antenna resonance
frequency and the reflection coefficient. A probability density function (PDF) of the antenna reflection
coefficient at the specification limit is a non-linearly scaled mirrored version of the PDF of the variation
of the antenna resonance. We measured the PDF of antenna reflection coefficient from manufactured
prototypes and there is a good correlation between the measured and the simulated PDFs.

Page 1557 – 1560
Abstract:
In this paper, a theoretical and numerical analysis to determine the properties of circularly polarized
helical beams is presented. A beam-port has been programmed to reproduce the fields radiated by a
circularly polarized helical beam antenna designed at the frequency of 10GHz. The propagation of four
different circularly polarized helical modes over a distance of 3 m has been studied using time-domain
analysis with CFDTD and analytical models. Thanks to the great volume of the simulations, the
properties of these beam have been delineated and compared with the linearly polarized helical beams.
The design of the antenna and the beam-port was developed using the CFDTD method and a Titan-XP
GPU.

Accurate PPCC-Based DoA Estimation Using Multiple Calibration Planes

for WSN Nodes Equipped with ESPAR Antennas
Authors:
Mateusz Groth, L. Kulas, Gdansk University of Technology, Poland
Page 1565 – 1568
Abstract:
In this paper, we have introduced a new direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation method, which relies on
received signal strength (RSS) values measured at the output port of electronically steerable parasitic
array radiator (ESPAR) antenna and uses the power pattern cross-correlation (PPCC) estimator. In the
method, we have successfully incorporated measurements of ESPAR antenna’s radiation patterns
performed at multiple calibration planes within the PPCC estimator in a way easily implementable in
wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes equipped with ESPAR antennas. Performed anechoic chamber
measurements of our ESPAR antenna prototype indicate that the proposed approach provides much
lower DoA estimation errors in a wide span of incoming signal elevation angles than other methods
currently available in the literature, which makes the concept applicable in practical WSN deployment
scenarios.

A New Super-Resolution Technique for Direction (and Time) of Arrival

Detection
Author:
Abbas Omar, OvG Universität Magdeburg, Germany
Page 1569 – 1572
Abstract:
A new technique for resolving different directions (or times) of arrival beyond the Rayleigh diffraction
limit is presented. It is based on the Euclidean Algorithm for polynomial factorization and is
implemented as a simple polynomial division (deconvolution) followed by a polynomial-root search.
Similar to other super-resolution techniques, it reflects the exchangeability between bandwidth and
signal-to-noise ratio governed by Shannon information-capacity concept. The core idea of the
technique is borrowed from the error correction analysis of the Generalized Reed-Solomon codes used
in channel coding. Both noiseless and noisy synthetic measurements of the output signals of a uniform
linear antenna array are used for verifying the technique.

Abstract:
Spatial division represents a popular approach to increasing capacity in modern wireless networks.
This paper presents a study of a simplified beamforming network based on a Fourier transform
network with the number of output ports lower than the number of the elements in the antenna array.
It is shown that connecting the output ports of Fourier transform network via power dividers to several
array elements in phase, thus implementing a nearest-neighbor phase interpolation, preserves the gain
and width of the beams in a narrow scanning sector. Therefore, in applications where few orthogonal
beams are required to span a narrow spatial sector, the proposed approach can offer reduction of the
hardware complexity. The simulated radiation patterns for a phase interpolation Fourier beamforming
network are demonstrated. The antenna radiation patterns have been measured, using a Fourier

Abstract:
Initial design of phase-frequency scanned array using composite right/left-handed (CRLH) waveguide
leaky-wave antennas (LWAs) is studied in this paper. The array consists of 32 frequency scanning CRLH
LWAs that are fed by a phased feed system. Two-dimensional (2D) beam steering capability is achieved
in the plane normal to the array aperture and verified by the full-wave simulations. This array is
capable of scanning to 61◦ from backward to forward directions in the frequency-scan plane and 17◦ in
the phase-scan plane. The beamwidth is approximately 2◦ with -20 dB sidelobe level (SLL) in the
frequency-scan plane and 2.5◦ with maximum -10 dB SLL in the phase-scan plane. Compared with
traditional 2D scanning array, the feed system of this phase-frequency scanned array can be simplified
significantly.

Abstract:
Digital beamforming (DBF) is the platform for smart antenna technology. Adaptive algorithms coupled
with these arrays enable automatic rejection of interference and can maximize the communication
throughput in any dynamic environment. Hardware implementation is very costly. Here we propose an
implementation of DBF arrays using software defined radios (SDRs). The SDR platform is a versatile,
low cost solution to DBF and at the same time provides a practical testbed for rapid testing of different
beamforming algorithms. We present experimental results for DBF using the particle swarm
optimization search algorithm and a four-element SDR array and demonstrate the adaptive capabilities
of this proposed technology.
