Abstract:
This article presents a W-band active bidirectional vector-sum phase shifter (Bi-VSPS) using a bidirectional phase-inverting variable-gain amplifier (Bi-PIVGA) with back-gate biasing in 28-nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) CMOS. The Bi-PIVGA employs a neutralization technique that cancels the gate-to-drain capacitances of both active and inactive transistors in each signal direction. By …
