Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

RF, microwave, and mm-wave circuits are widely used in modern communications, such as 5G communication, satellite, and radars. It is the most significant trend to make these circuits and systems low cost, small size, light weight, and high performance. The properties of transmission lines, such as losses, size, etc., play vital roles for these circuits and systems. In recent years, substrate integrated transmission lines including substrate integrated suspended line (SISL), substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), substrate integrated coaxial line (SICL), etc., have been widely used in high-performance circuits and systems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to invite worldwide researchers to present their latest work on RF/microwave/mm-wave substrate integrated circuits. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Substrate integrated circuits including substrate integrated suspended line (SISL), substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), substrate integrated coaxial line (SICL), etc.

(2) RF/microwave/mm-wave front-end circuits.

(3) Passive circuits including filters, multiplexers, couplers, dividers, baluns, magic-Ts, phase shifters, etc.

(4) Antennas elements and antenna arrays, antenna feeding networks.

In this investigation, an ultra-compact dual-mode bandpass filter (BPF) with a wide stopband response is realized by using a half-mode substrate-integrated rectangular cavity (HMSIRC). The HMSIRC resonator is designed with a cavity that is rectangular in shape and has metallic vias along three of the sides. The fourth side is open-ended and contains microstrip feed lines. For the purpose of constructing a magnetic wall, a rectangular slot is cut into each of the HMSIRC’s three edges. In order to produce an electrical wall that may generate a variety of resonances, the side with the open edges is provided with a single metallic via in the center. After that, a second-order BPF is generated by loading a transverse slot in the middle of the BPF, which enables independent frequency regulation of the mode frequencies. The eigen-mode analysis; field distributions; coupling matrix; and full-wave simulation of the proposed HMSIRC filter topology are used to develop the working principle of the filter. A second-order BPF is realized, constructed, and experimentally validated in order to provide evidence that the theory is correct. The BPF prototype achieves satisfactory performance thanks to its compact footprint of 0.028 λg2; its broad passband of 15.9%; its low insertion loss of 0.41 dB; and its wide stopband of 4.36 f0 with a rejection level greater than 20 dB. Both the measured and EM-simulated responses of the BPF are very consistent with one another. Full article

A filtering antenna based on the Substrate Integrated Suspended Line (SISL) platform applied for the n78 band of 5G is presented in this paper. The antenna has a segmented feed line, a rectangular driven patch etched with a double I-slot, and a squared stacked patch with grooves at the edges of both sides. The etched slots and the stacked patch introduce two new resonance frequencies increasing the bandwidth. Furthermore, the etched slots excite a deep radiation null in the low-frequency band, and the stacked patch coupled with the driven patch produces two deep radiation nulls in the high-frequency band. Three radiation nulls enable high selectivity of the antenna. The filtering antenna works at 3.2–3.89 GHz, which can be applied to the 5G (n78, 3.3–3.8 GHz) frequency band. The peak gain in the band can reach 9.21 dBi, and the out-of-band suppression levels are higher than 18.47 dB. Full article

In this paper, according to the tightly coupled antenna theory, the dual-polarized tightly coupled antenna of 15–40 GHz is designed. The antenna size is 3.75 mm × 3.75 mm × 2.38 mm, and the spacing between the elements is 3.75 mm. The media used from bottom to top are Rogers5880, PP adhesive, RogersTMM10, and feed line using coaxial line directly, with a coaxial line inner core radius of 0.2 mm. Based on the simulations, we find that the antenna can easily cover ±45° and maintain good active standing wave performance. The antenna can support ±60° maximum Angle scanning and maintain good active standing wave performance. Full article
