Abstract
Revving up the rollout of high-data-rate low-latency next-generation communication and beyond (5G and 6G), the trend of developing tunable components based on tunable dielectrics is feeding the appetite for precise beam steering and wavefront phase control with more reconfigurability and bandwidth, as well as power-efficient stepless controllability (continuous analogue tuning) for mission-critical systems [...]
