“…Based on fundamental reasoning, we believe that the ultra-wide band THz instrumentation used today can be considered as an overkill to study hydration shells of interacting solvated molecules and prohibit the downscaling towards fully integrated high throughput labon-chip solutions. The steady increase of the output frequency and output power of downscaled electronic devices, and in particular CMOS [16]- [18] will enable compact fully integrated high throughput sub-THz microarray sensor systems.…”

Progress in pharmaceutical and biotechnological research relies on the availability of a variety of analytical measurement tools. In this paper we discuss the progress on our research in the field of a novel real-time label-free, and immobilization-free integrated sensor in silicon for monitoring biological substances in nano-liter liquids flowing through a capillary tube. The performance of various sensor generations is benchmarked with water-alcohol mixtures: we demonstrate an dynamic range increase from 15 to 60 dB. A selection of measurements on biological species dissolved in liquids is presented.

There is no doubt that terahertz (THz) technology is rapidly growing in interest. Its frequency range lies in a commercially unexploited part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Front-end systems operating in the THz gap, i.e. frequency range between where the performance of conventional electronics falls off and that of photonics increases, have generally existed for expensive scientific applications and have relied on precision free-space (quasi-)optics and often cryogenic cooling. However, in order to move away from less profitable high-end applications, engineering solutions are needed to create a positive spiral of technological growth with more profitable ubiquitous applications. This review paper introduces recent examples of THz technologies that may have the potential for future commercial exploitation.

“…60 GHz full wireless transceivers can be implemented even by a 65 nm CMOS technology [1]- [7]. Recently, 260-GHz amplifier [8], 300-GHz fundamental oscillator [9], 482-GHz oscillator (third-harmonic use) [10], 1-THz detector [11], 28 Gbps transceiver [5], and 35-dBm CMOS power amplifier [12] have been reported. On the other hand, the miniaturized CMOS transistors suffer from the process variation, larger noise, lower supply voltage, lower gain, etc.…”

SUMMARY In this paper, the importance and perspective for the digitally-assisted analog and RF circuits are discussed, especially related to wireless transceivers. Digital calibration techniques for compensating I/Q mismatch, IM2, and LO impairments in cellular, 2.4 GHz WiFi, and 60 GHz WiGig transceivers are introduced with detailed analysis and circuit implementations. Future technology directions such as the shift from digitally-assisted analog circuit to digitally-designed analog circuit will also be discussed.
