Abstract:
In this article, a four-element digital-modulated phased-array transmitter based on quadrature switched/floated-capacitor power amplifiers (SFCPAs) and reconfigurable switched-capacitor tuning lines (RSCTLs) is proposed. Phase shifting in each element is achieved by hybrid coarse and fine phase-tuning approaches. The SFCPAs with the quadrature-rotation technique are presented for coarse phase tuning. …
