The need for surveillance and security in Indonesian water region which can monitor activities of distance object such as illegal fishing, foreign vessels violation, piracy of vessels and smuggling can be done by using radio wave. Maritime radar over the horizon (OTH) surface wave is able to detect the existence of foreign vessels in Indonesian waters. Based on this, the study aimed to design a low cost antenna namely Yagi - Uda linear array antenna at 15 MHz frequency at frequency range 6 – 24 MHz for the application of over the horizon radar. Yagi - Uda antenna is superior in the spread of wave suitable to OTH Radar characteristic over the sea surface and big gain. Yagi - Uda antenna develops rapidly in communication system makes it applied in many modern communication devices nowadays. This antenna was designed and simulated using Simulator Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) version 13. The simulation result of the antenna design after doing optimization was return loss (S11) = -29,62 dB, VSWR = 1.068 and gain = 2,413 dBm.

This paper presents the designs of phase shifters for multi-beam Nolen matrix towards the fifth generation (5G) technology at 26 GHz. The low-cost, lightweight and compact size 0° and 45° loaded stubs and chamfered 90°, 135° and 180° Schiffman phase shifters are proposed at 26 GHz. An edge at a corner of the 50 Ω microstrip line Schiffman phase shifter is chamfered to reduce the excess capacitance and unwanted reflection. However, the Schiffman phase shifter topology is not relevant to be applied for the phase shifter less than 45° as it needs very small arc bending at 26 GHz. The stubs are loaded to the phase shifter in order to obtain electrical lengths, which are less than 45°. The proposed phase shifters provide return loss better than 10 dB, insertion loss of -0.97 dB and phase difference imbalance of ± 4.04° between 25.75GHz and 26.25 GHz. The Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate with dielectric constant of 2.2 and substrate thickness of 0.254 mm is implemented in the designs.
