Emerging industrial applications, including 5G/beyond wireless devices, require high-power CW amplifiers with ultrawide bandwidth within a compact size and with high-performance reliability and repeatability. Moreover, for a wideband GaN HPA overcoming inherent limitations, withstanding high output mismatch and efficient thermal management raise many integration/packaging challenges. This paper provides the practical design, integration and packaging difficulties with industrial solutions, together with advanced packaging technologies, efficient selection of integration process, thermal interfacing and die-attach materials and heat spreaders. Finally, presents the development of compact high power GaN PAs with wider than decade bandwidth and CW P1dB power of more than 1 kW.

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) is the technology of choice for miniaturization of RF space subsystems, especially because of its ability to integrate passive components. This paper presents considerations for the optimal design of embedded passive components, viz. inductors and capacitors in multi-layer LTCC technology. Design choices visà-vis available geometries and layer of use are weighed through 3-D full wave electromagnetic simulations and the most suitable candidates are identified. The findings are corroborated through the design and fabrication of a UHF band 10% bandwidth 1:4 lumped element Wilkinson Power Divider, for space use, using Space Applications Centre’s in-house LTCC foundry.

In this work, a novel cross polarization independent hexagonal ring shape FSS structure is developed to replace old truncated L shaped FSS structure integrated with CB nanocomposite sheet in the hybrid absorbers, proposed in our previous research work, to minimize the cross polar reflection coefficient (RC) [1]. The proposed novel hexagonal ring shape unit cell based FSS structure is combined with 10wt.% CB nanocomposite sheet. The resultant hybrid absorber attained wide absorption bandwidth of 4.1 GHz at 2.6 mm thickness with absorption value varying from 0.9 to 1 in the frequency range 8.88 to 12.98 GHz with negligible PCR value.

In this paper, a new approach of designing single layer Substrate Integrated waveguide (SIW) based planar leakywave antenna for X-band (8-12 GHz) application is presented. The beam scanning range of the final prototype is found to be $85^{circ}(-60^{circ}$ to $25^{circ})$. This design consists of a new type of unit cell, which is the combination of three transverse and three longitudinal rectangular slots. These slots are arranged periodically. The peliodic loading of these slots incorporates capacitive coupling, which is further responsible for a wide range of scanning. The designed antenna is showing a high impedance leakv-wave region. The most challenging task for a leaky-wave antenna is continuous beam scanning from the backward-to-forward with a broadside radiation patterns. In this paper, the designed LWA achieves this task with a significant reduction in side lobe level (SLL) and cross-polarization. The final prototype with directive beam and stable gain characteristic in the desired frequency band is designed. It is found from the radiation pattern that SLL for all the frequency is below -15 dB and cross polarization level of $-mathbf{1 8}$ dB. A thorough analysis of dispersion diagram of the unit cell and radiation characteristics using fundamental TE10 mode of SIW is conducted using a full-wave EM-simulator.

A compact ultrathin wideband, wide incidence angle, nearly perfect metamaterial absorber has been proposed in this paper. The unit cell consists of a simple flower shaped resonator with a circular patch and four chip resistors. Under normal incidence, it has absorptivity greater than 90% from 5.55 GHz to 15.39 GHz. While, when the incidence angle is oblique it can achieve absorptivity greater than 80% up to 45° for both TE and TM mode waves. The unit cell electrical area and thickness are $0.22 lambda_{L} times 0.22 lambda_{L}$ and $0.11 lambda_{L}$ where, $lambda_{L}$ is the lowest absorption frequency wavelength. Input impedance and field distribution have been discussed to analyze the absorption mechanism.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an important instrument to characterize subsurface layers depending on their dielectric properties. GPR can efficiently detect and differentiate subsurface layers with significant dielectric contrast. However, in planetary subsurface, due to lack of water, dielectric contrast between the layers is very low, making the detection extremely challenging. In the present study, numerical simulations are carried out to determine the GPR signal levels in low dielectric contrast scenarios. Our results reveal that, noise-floor level of the GPR instrument should be at least 110dB below transmit power for successful detection in such cases. These results will be major input for GPR system design and configuration targeting planetary surface and subsurface studies for future missions.

In this work, the periodic mushroom structures are loaded in the HMSIW. As a result, the size of SIW cut-mode cavity is reduced significantly; and a wide electromagnetic bandgap appears in a certain frequency band. Based on this structure, a compact HMSIW bandpass filter with broad upper stopband is designed. The filter centered at 6.92GHz exhibits an ultrawide upper stopband up to 37.72 GHz with a rejection level of 20 dB. The area of the filter is only $0.147lambda_{g}^{2}$, where $lambda_{g}$ is the guided wavelength at the center frequency in the dielectric. The theoretical analysis and design method are given in details in this paper:

This paper presents design, development and characterization of GaN based high power amplifier Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) at C-band and Ka-band. The MMICs are designed using GaN MMIC processes from UMS foundry. The C-band MMIC is designed using space evaluated $0.25mumathrm{m}$ Gallium Nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMT) process and the Kaband MMIC is designed using $0.15mu$ m GaN HEMT process which is under space evaluation. On-wafer measurements of both the MIMICs were carried out. The C-band MIMIC exhibits output power, Power Added Efficiency (PAE) and Gain better than $ 43mathrm{dBm},$43% and 25dB respectively. At Ka-band output power, PAE and Gain better than $ 38mathrm{dBm},$ 30% and 18dB are achieved respectively. The MMICs are tested in test modules exhibiting similar performances. The paper also discusses about observed drain current runaway phenomena in GaN amplifiers due to gate leakage current. Importance of gate series resistor value selection is discussed to avoid this runaway and to prevent eventual burn-out of the chip transistor.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations give the chance to evaluate physical interactions in biological matter occurring at the atomistic level and in nanosecond or microsecond timescales. Due to the ongoing interest in using radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) fields both for a wide range of biomedical applications and for the interaction mechanisms at the basis of health effects, a deep investigation on their effects to biological membrane is needed.In this work the response of a biological hydrated membrane to the application of RF EM fields was studied from an atomistic point of view, comparing the effects with the ones induced by a static field exposure.
