As sixth-generation (6G) communication systems manifest at carrier frequencies well into the millimeter-wave (mmW) spectrum, ability of conventional digital beamforming techniques to handle beam-bandwidth product is increasingly stressed. Microwave photonic has been presented as a solution this problem by up-converting sampled RF field distribution an optical for analog beam-space processing, b...

In recent decades, one of the challenges in sheet metal forming was production of two-step bending surfaces without mechanical tools and external force or by a combination of heat source and mechanical tools. Forming with a heat source such as laser beam has the potential for forming arbitrary 3D shapes such as two-step bending surfaces. In this paper a novel method for laser forming of complic...

In this paper, we reviewed some of the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) research efforts for high frequency applications. The efforts can be generally divided into two areas: planar reconfigurable transceivers and phased arrays using MEMS devices. For the planar transceivers, the interest is in demonstration of RF MEMS devices with a focus on integration issues including architectures and f...
