“…However, for the proof-of-concept standalone device physics characterization stage of LC-based low-power-consuming (e.g., bias voltage up to 20 V [11,24,41]) transmission lines (instead of the power-consuming waveguides [43][44][45][46][47]), the LF-mmW decoupling network is not necessarily needed for the modern generation of vector network analyzers (VNA), wherein a port bias is normally embedded in the VNA for the input of an amplified LF bias signal limited up to 30 V. As such, the complicated decoupling network is not encompassed within our computational modeling frameworks in this work. Nevertheless, for follow-up developments of a real-world phased array feeding system, suitable connector mounting and LF-mmW decoupling network implementation (e.g., by embedding bias tees [48][49][50], introducing additional biasing networks [51][52][53][54], or relying on novel structural mechanisms [55,56]) should be conducted as per the application specifications to address the limitations of the current work's analytical and numerical evaluations. More specifically, the perturbations in the achievable differential phase shift, return loss, and insertion loss due to the addition of the decoupling network (e.g., bias tees as depicted in Figure 2) will be experimentally quantified as ongoing optimization endeavors.…”
