Wideband BPSK Transmitter Phased Array Operating at 246 GHz With ±30° Steering Range

Blog Article

This paper presents the construction and measurement of a phased array BPSK transmitter system operating at 246 GHz with tested data rates of read more up to 32 Gbit s-1.The system is built using custom monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and a novel packaging solution.The construction showcases the flexibility in the chosen approach, paving a path for future systems.

It is the first TX array with significant beam steering capabilities tested above a pure antenna pattern stage above 200 GHz.The system is tested for realistic usage scenarios.Bit-error-rate (BER) measurements are used to showcase real-world usability.

BER over read more angle and BER over steering angle are measured to verify the operation of the transmitter.
