CMOS THz Camera Used as Compact Antenna Test Range
In this paper, a silicon lens-integrated CMOS THz camera is employed as a compact antenna test range. The far-field radiation pattern of a 26-dBi 0.852-THz standard gain horn antenna radiation source is characterized. Both single-frame low-resolution and multi-frame super-resolution acquisition are performed.…

Broadband Lens-Integrated CMOS Camera-Type THz Compact Antenna Test Range
This paper presents the concept of a lens-integrated CMOS camera-type terahertz (THz) compact antenna test range (CATR) to determine the far-field characteristics of transmitters (TX), including the radiation pattern, directivity, half-power beamwidth (HPBW), and radiation power. For concept validation,…

Performance Characterization Method of Broadband Terahertz Video Cameras
Integrated THz systems comprising index matched optical media introduce discontinuities in the propagation path leading to an etaloning effect. The etaloning hinders the absolute accuracy of a measuring instrument thereby limiting its applicability. A methodology using computational notch filtering is…

A 32×32 Pixel 0.46-to-0.75THz Light-Field Camera SoC in 0.13μm CMOS
Light-field (LF) refers to the spatio-directional light flow in space. In LF imaging, light rays are recorded along different positions and directions, and a 3-D scene is reconstructed with back-propagation [1]. Modern visible-light LF cameras assemble a lens array atop a megapixel (Mpx) count focal-plane…

A 64-Pixel 0.42 THz Source SoC with Spatial Modulation Diversity for Computational Imaging
This paper presents a terahertz source system-on-a-chip (SoC) specifically designed for computational imaging with a single pixel camera (SPC). The SoC consists of an 8×8 array of independent, frequency unlocked THz sources that together radiate maximum 10.3 dBm power at 0.42 THz. Each source pixel is…

Resolution Limits in Lens-Integrated CMOS THz Cameras Employing Super-Resolution Imaging
In this paper, we discuss the design choices of CMOS THz cameras for achieving maximum angular resolution and high sensitivity over a large bandwidth. In an active THz imaging set-up, the spatial resolution becomes a function of the object magnification, determined by the focal length of the collimating…
