A phased antenna array in a package is provided. The phased array antenna in a package comprises an antenna array with an integrated passive beamformer network, and at least one actuation mechanism. The passive beamformer network comprises at least one phase shifter, and each of the at least one phase shifter comprises a transmission line having a slow-wave structure and a ceramic. Each of the at least one actuation mechanism comprises a magnet and an electromagnet coil, where the magnet is coupled to the ceramic. The at least one actuation mechanism configured to increase or decrease a gap between the transmission line and the ceramic.

A load-pull tuner is disclosed herein. The tuner comprises a transmission line network and dielectrics positionable above the transmission line network. The transmission line network comprising a main transmission line and two stubs connected to the main transmission line, the two stubs being transmission lines. The main transmission line and the two stubs being tunable transmission lines. The load-pull tuner directly connect to a Ground-Signal-Ground (GSG) probe. The load-pull tuner may be used at higher reflection coefficients for phased-array system characterization.
