“…Novel circuit antenna co-integration needs to be a solution for active beamforming antenna arrays for 5G telecommunication applications in the sub 6 GHz (FR1) and near-30 GHz (FR2) mmWave frequency bands. Active integrated antennas can be designed with nontraditional functionalities (e.g., tailored power combining, active load modulation for power amplifiers [ 111 ], active source modulation for low-noise amplifiers, and RF filtering [ 112 ]) that help to minimize power loss, particularly at mmWave frequencies.…”

“…Innovative array antenna designs enabling two-dimensional (fullspace) beam control and effective beam steering are ideal for integration and hybrid packaging alongside active IC modules. Antenna subarray modularization (ASM) is one of the important technologies in this context for making the system practical and robust [ 112 ]. ASM will be investigated in order to determine optimally sparse topologies to relax the physical restrictions of antennas while meeting beamforming objectives with a lower number of amplitude-phase controls per element and remaining design compatible with semiconductor technology.…”

In the recent era, fifth-generation technology (5G) has not been fully implemented in the realm of wireless communication. To Have excellent accessible bandwidth feasibility, and in order to achieve the aims of 5G standards, such as higher data rates and ultrahigh-definition video streaming, the millimeter wave (mmWave) band must be employed. Services with minimal latency and many other features are feasible only in the mmWave spectrum. To avoid numerous communication complexities such as high connection losses, short wavelength, and restricted bandwidth, as well as path-loss challenges in the mmWave range, an antenna with wide bandwidth, high gain, narrow steerable beam, high isolation, low side-lobe levels, and multiband features is required to alleviate these difficulties and meet 5G communication standards. To overcome these challenges, specific strategies and techniques should be employed in the traditional antenna designing procedure to excellently improve the performance of the antenna in terms of bandwidth, gain, and efficiency and to reduce the mutual coupling effect between the closely colocated antenna elements in MIMOs and arrays. The researchers reported on a variety of bandwidth and gain improvement approaches. To gain broader coverage, traditional antenna design techniques must be modified. In this study, the latest state-of-the-art work is reviewed, such as the role of the metamaterials (MMTs), parasitic patches, hybrid feeding, EBG structure, impact of the slots with different geometrical shapes in the radiator to achieve the goal of wide bandwidth, boosted gain, reduced side-lobes level, as well as stable radiation properties. Mutual coupling reduction techniques are also briefly reported. The role of reconfigurability is focused on in this study, and at the end, the future challenges in the field of antenna design and possible remedies to such issues are reviewed.

This paper deals with the design and simulation of unequal 5-way Wilkinson power divider used for Electronic Warfare (EW) applications. The frequency range of operation intended for this design is 6 GHz to 18 GHz. The proposed Wilkinson power divider is designed on a low cost FR-4 substrate having height of 1.5mm, relative permittivity of 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.02. The design occupies a size of 11mm x 33 mm x 1. 5 mm. Equal split Wilkinson power dividers are utilized for implementation of this design. High isolation has been obtained throughout the frequency range of 6 GHz to 18 GHz. The design procedure is discussed. The simulated results are presented by using ADS simulation software.

In this paper, a compact 8 way microstrip line Wilkinson Power Divider (WPD) is designed and proposed. The equal power divider con-sists of multiple multi-section WPD’s with isolation resistors. By utilizing the multi-sections concept, a remarkably increase in the band-width is observed. In the design process, RT 5880 substrate is used with the thickness of 0.8 mm and dielectric constant of 2.2 and loss tangent of 0.0004. The simulated results such as return loss, insertion loss and isolation are plotted by using ADS simulation software and obtained results show good agreement.
