“…Millimeter and sub-millimeter wave bands not only offer a convenient solution for the spectrum congestion problem but also give a very high data transmission rate [1][2][3] and increased security systems [4,5] which make it vital for many military and civilian applications [6,7]. There are lots of improvements going on nowadays in using these bands, and they are expected to deprecate most of the currently used systems in the near future.…”

Abstract-In this paper linear and nonlinear properties of graphene at millimeter wave frequency band are investigated. The nonlinear properties of the graphene are utilized to design frequency multiplier and mixer for millimeter wave applications. A patch of graphene is deposited on the dielectric image guide that will generate higher order harmonics. The amplitude of harmonics is optimized based on the dimensions of the graphene patch on top of the dielectric image guide. A frequency multiplier and mixer are designed, which utilize the second harmonics generated through graphene. The nonlinear behavior of the proposed designs has been simulated in the 50-75 GHz input signal frequency range. A conversion efficiency of −23 dB is obtained for the second harmonic for the frequency doubler. The frequency mixer is designed to mix two frequencies in V-band using dielectric image guide as the waveguide. A −28 dB conversion efficiency is simulated on a dielectric image-guide platform.

“…In most of these works, high gain antennas have been developed to overcome the propagation path loss of this frequency band and hence improve the system signal‐to‐noise ratio. Besides, employing an antenna array with a beam forming property is also required to achieve directive radiation beams in the desired spatial directions . Beam forming can be cost‐effectively realized by using a Butler matrix network, which provides appropriate phases and amplitudes as excitations of array elements according to the desired beams’ directions .…”

The integration feasibility of two technologies including Miniaturized Hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit (MHMIC) and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are experimentally demonstrated at millimeter wave frequencies through the design of a switched beam antenna array. A 1 × 4 array of aperture coupled patch antennas etched on a RO5880 substrate is fed by a 4 × 4 butler matrix etched on a piece of high permittivity ceramic substrate. By using the proposed combined fabrication technologies, the feeding part on the ceramic substrate can be easily integrated with MMIC active component, while the radiation part is individually improved. Comparison of simulated and measured results show that the proposed switched beam antenna offers a −10 dB matching bandwidth of 6 GHz ranging from 58 GHz to 64 GHz and a multi beam radiation pattern which is focused in 45°, 15°, −15°, −45° directions. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This paper presents a 60 GHz low loss phase shifter characterized by 360 degree phase shift and low variation of insertion loss using GaAs pHEMT process. The circuit contains a reflection type phase shifter (RTPS) and a switch line type phase shifter (SLTPS). A pair of Schottky diodes connected by a length of microstrip line is terminated to the through and coupled ports of Lange coupler as reflective variable loads. The optimum performance is attained when the electronic length is 75 um and the total finger width is 40 um after simulation using Agilent Advanced Design System. A one bit switch line type phase shifter (SLTPS) is employed as a 0/ʌ phase shifter. The measured results show that this 60 GHz hybrid phase shifter can achieve 360 degree phase variation with insertion loss varying from 7.5~10.7 dB.Index Terms -60GHz, phase shifter, reflective variable load, switch line type , 360 degree.
