Abstract

This work presents a miniaturized, high-power, and wideband THz PA-antenna array, realizing 29 dBm lens-less peak EIRP from 214 to 242 GHz. To improve the BW and Psatof the PA, a folded 10th-order power-splitting/combining and staggered-matching method is proposed, achieving 17.4 dB peak gain and 16.5 dBm peak Psatfrom 160 to 248 GHz. To address the efficiency and BW limitation of the AoC, a co-packaged ULP slot-patch antenna is integrated, extending the radiation efficiency to 66.7 % and BW to 36 GHz.
