| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research will implement the CMOS mmW integrated circuits for the distributed array. A low-latency synchronization technique will be researched to construct fast synchronization between multiple distributed arrays. A high-accuracy beam control system will be developed to reject the radiations.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research introduces low-cost, reconfigurable mmW distributed phased-array transceivers. The deployment of such arrays is much more flexible compared with centralized arrays. To realize compact, low-cost characteristics, this research introduces the neutralized bi-directional architecture. The phased-array gain and stability are enhanced with a minimized area and cost. To maintain high-efficiency characteristics, this research explores Doherty PA with higher efficiency at backoff. To minimize the unwanted radiation, this research first introduces a phase shifter with phase compensation network. The errors are therefore reduced. Furthermore, this research introduces on-chip magnitude and phase detection circuits for correcting the errors between channels.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The millimeter-wave phased-array is significant in wireless communication. However, conventional centralized phased-arrays cannot deal with the complex environments. In this research, the distributed phased-array transceivers are proposed with less cost and compact size.
