Abstract

A Y-vector oscillator network is devised to configure (sub)-mm-wave/terahertz (THz) beamforming systems with minimized footprint and energy consumption. It requires no traditional adjustable phase shifter at multi-channel front end which usually suffer from high insertion loss at these frequencies. A compact (1.4mm²) CMOS lx4 Beam Steering Phased Array (BSPA) based on this network is validated at 0.55THz with pm 30 steering angle range. This is the first monolithic BSPA reported beyond 0.5THz.
