This article presents a MIMO compact antenna measuring 45×45×1.6 mm, on the FR4 substrate, proposed for Ka band and 5G communication applications. The proposed design is suitable to overcome the issues connected with massive MIMO. It has four-sigma-shaped radiating elements and a c-shaped ground plane with coplanar waveguide feeding. Its compact dimensions suit it for most existing communications systems. The aerial operates in the 21–30 GHz range, which covers Ka and 5G communication bands. The proposed antenna exhibits the average efficiency of more than 76% within its operating band and gives a minimum signal to noise plus interference ratio. The presented antenna covers several services, such as Ka band satellite downlink applications and future 5G communication applications.

This paper presents the design & modeling of distributed MEMS phase shifter for Ka band RF systems. The phase shift can be achieved by periodically placing the MEMS bridge variable capacitors as per Bragg frequency criteria on coplanar waveguide (CPW) using GaAs substrate. The EM & electromechanical simulation are carried out with various structural parameters to optimize the designs. The novelties like low insertion loss, low actuation voltage with distributed actuation pads & separate DC and RF are used to make the design unique. The EM simulations are carried out with HFSS and an insertion loss of -3.49 dB at 36GHz for a total Phase shift of 360 deg. was achieved with return loss of - 20.6 dB over a frequency band 34-38 GHz. The electromechanical simulations are carried to achieve the low actuation voltage of 10.3V. The significance of this study is the realization of the digital phase shifter through DMTL approach.

A Ka-band substrate integrated waveguide bandpass filter has been designed and fabricated using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The in-house developed SICCAS-K5F3 material with a permittivity of 6.2 and a loss tangent of 0.002 was used. The size and surface area of the proposed bandpass filter are reduced by exploiting vertical coupling in vertically laminated three-dimensional structures. The coupling between adjacent cavities is realized by a narrow slot. A vertical transition structure between the coplanar-waveguide feed line and the substrate integrated waveguide is adopted to facilitate the internal signal connection. The demonstrated third-order filter has a compact size of 6.79 mm×4.13 mm×1.34 mm (0.63λ0  × 0.38λ0  × 0.12λ0) and exhibits good performance with a low insertion loss of 1.74 dB at 27.73 GHz and a 3 dB fractional bandwidth of 10 %.
