Design of CMOS Millimeter Wave and Terahertz Integrated Circuits With Metamaterials

This book shows how the use of metamaterials allows coherent THz signal generation, amplification, transmission, and detection for phase-arrayed CMOS transistors with significantly improved performance. The book reflects the latest research and provides a state-of-the-art reference on CMOS-based metamaterial devices and mm-wave and THz systems. Along with numerous opportunities in communication and imaging applications, the design of emerging millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and terahertz (THz) electronic circuits and systems in CMOS technology faces new challenges and requires new devices. Design of CMOS Millimeter-Wave and Terahertz Integrated Circuits with Metamaterials provides alternative solutions using CMOS on-chip metamaterials. Unlike conventional metamaterial devices on printed circuit boards (PCBs), the presented CMOS metamaterials can be utilized to build many mm-wave and THz circuits and systems on chip. Leveraging the authors’ extensive expertise and experience with CMOS on-chip metamaterials, this book shows that with the use of metamaterials, one can realize coherent THz signal generation, amplification, transmission, and detection of phase-arrayed CMOS transistors with significantly improved performance. Offering detailed coverage from device to system, the book hereby: Describes integrated circuit design with application of metamaterials in CMOS technology Includes real CMOS integrated circuit examples and chip demonstrations with measurement results Evaluates novel mm-wave and THz communication and imaging systems under CMOS-based system-on-chip integration Design of CMOS Millimeter-Wave and Terahertz Integrated Circuits with Metamaterials reflects the latest research progress and provides a state-of-the-art reference on CMOS-based metamaterial devices and mm-wave and THz systems.
