Future communication standards have an increasing interest in Millimeter Wave (mm-wave) bands, where wide bandwidth and secured communication can be assured. This trend in communication standards stimulates the research community to provide novel antenna configurations in the mm-wave bands. This article proposes a novel design and analysis of hybrid magneto-electric dielectric-resonator dipole antenna that features an electrically small size with ultra-wideband operation and consistent radiation characteristics in the mm-wave band. The proposed antenna is designed based on the combination of multi-resonances produced by a Magneto-Electric (ME) dipole and stacked Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs). In addition, the proposed antenna is implemented using state-of-the-art Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology, namely, Printed Ridge Gap Waveguide (PRGW) for low loss and cost-efficiency. The …

The mismatch terminations are essential components in measurement setups of various active and passive microwave components. The main objective of such components is to provide a certain reflection level with a flat response over the operating bandwidth. The need for mm-wave mismatch terminations has increased due to the expansion of using mm-wave frequency ranges in future communication systems. The mm-wave bands are considered among the essential bands for the 5G communication system, which is expected to launch this year. In addition, the utilization of these bands is expected to increase in the 6G standard. In this article, we introduce a novel systematic procedure to design mismatch terminations. Moreover, two examples of mismatch terminations are designed with reflection levels of -9.5 and -12.7 dB, with the operating band of 32-38 GHz. For experimental validation, the proposed design …
