The proposed system presented here is intended for deployable internet-of-things devices and sensor networks where low power consumption and high efficiency are requirements for a practical implementation. As a proof-of-concept, a THz oscillator based low power miniature radio integrated with on-chip antennas is proposed. The THz low power radio is based on a reconfigurable fundamental oscillator array that can be used as a THz source in transmission mode and as a THz super-regenerative detector in receiver mode. These low-power miniaturized 2-way radios can be deployed to form highly collaborative networks that can establish neighbor-to-neighbor meter-scale communication. The links formed by the miniature radio nodes can extend and relay information supporting long-distance communication to a base-station located far away. In simulations, the proposed design achieves a maximum output power of 5.56dBm, at a center frequency of 150GHz, a receiver sensitivity of -80dBm, a DC power consumption of 38mW, and a DC-to-EIRP efficiency of 38.9%, which is the highest efficiency reported of all the silicon-based THz transceivers in the 150GHz range. The prototype chip was design using the GlobalFoundries 45nm silicon on insulator process and it occupies a total chip area of 2mm by 2mm.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Silicon-Based Ultra Efficient Mm-Wave and THz Power Generation and Signal Detection For Future Wireless Networks and IoT Devices"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2019-11-19 23:09:35","changed_gmt":"2019-11-19 23:09:35","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-12-03T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-12-03T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-12-03T13:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-12-03 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-12-03 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-12-03 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
