“…The Web of Science includes more than 10,000 studies on the design of compact devices for wireless communications, so compact is of great importance to integrated circuits. In [12] and [13], the authors designed the embedded filters, the broadband transmitter is designed in [14], and the multi-band antennas are devised in [15], [16]. They are located in the RF front-end module of wireless communication, which can include integration with other circuit devices expediently.…”

In recent years, with the rapid development of integrated circuits, the filtering antenna (FA) circuit of the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) has attracted widespread attention in wireless communications. Numerous structures have been proposed to improve the performance of SIW FA. Hence, this paper presents the development and miniaturization trend of the SIW FA, and briefly introduces the structure and historical development of the SIW FA. In terms of the mode, multi-mode cavities and incomplete mode cavities are constructed. Multi-layer structures, special structures and the slow-wave technology are constructed in physical structure. Several methods and design examples of the SIW FA miniaturization are introduced from these two aspects. Based on the combination of the filter and antenna, the FA remains the advantages of the SIW structure, mainly including small size, low insertion loss, high quality-factors, and easy integration in planar radio frequency components. Therefore, it can further reduce the circuit, allowing SIW FAs to be applied in many aspects such as the 5G (5th generation mobile communication technology) and wireless local area network communications.INDEX TERMS Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), filtering antenna (FA), multi-mode, incomplete mode, multi-layer, slow-wave technology.

This manuscript reports the first leaky-wave antenna (LWA) array excited by a photomixer as well as its potential application for alignment in wireless links. The designed array is manufactured in printed circuit board (PCB) technology, works at the E-band (from 75 to 85 GHz), and provides a directive beam of about 18 dBi with a frequency scanning span of 22°. The antenna element consists of a microstrip line periodically loaded with stubs, and it has been designed employing a hybrid approach combining full-wave simulations and transmission line theory. This approach enables the optimization of the periods when the open-stopband of the LWA is mitigated or removed at the frequency of broadside emission. The proposed antenna was first tested using a ground signal ground (GSG) probe; the measured return loss and radiation patterns of the fabricated prototype were in good agreement with full-wave simulations. Then, the LWA array was integrated with the photomixer chip using conductive epoxy threads. Measurements of the radiated power yielded a maximum of 120 µW at 80.5 GHz for a 9.8 mA photocurrent. Finally, the antenna was used in a 25 cm wireless link, obtaining a 2.15 Gbps error-free data rate.
