Introduction
The emerging phase change materials (PCM) technology is a promising candidate for the implementation of high performance phase shifters for large phase arrays systems to support a large variety of applications such as automotive radars and satellite and telecom communications.
Project Scope
Device-level characterization of the PCM technology in Cadence Virtuoso and design phased arrays using finite-element electromagnetic solvers such as HFSS and CST.
Project Roadmap (one semester)
- Literature survey.
- PCM technology characterization.
