Abstract: A circuit comprising a first Fourier Transform block operable to perform a Fourier Transform and having a first input configured for receiving an I signal and a second input configured for receiving a Q signal; a first plurality of n of outputs for I channels and Q channels each comprising a different frequency bin output from the Fourier Transform; I and Q summing blocks comprising a set of connector lines connecting an ith one of I channels with an ith one of the Q channels; an inverse Fourier Transform block connected to the summing blocks and operable to perform an inverse Fourier Transform; a correlator for correlating the outputs of the inverse Fourier Transform; a Fourier Transform block for Fourier Transforming the correlator output; a comparator for comparing the correlation term to zero; and an error correction circuit for tuning the magnitude and phase of the I and Q channels using the comparator output as feedback.

Abstract: A waveguide based variable attenuator device including one or more attenuators each including a porous dielectric material; and a metal coating on the top of the dielectric material; and an actuator coupled to the attenuator. The actuator is configured to position, with nanometer resolution, the one or more attenuators in a waveguide configured and dimensioned to guide an electromagnetic wave having a frequency in a range of 100 gigahertz (GHz) to 1 terahertz (THz). The actuator controls at least one of a position or a volume of the one attenuator inserted in the waveguide to achieve a variable or pre-determined attenuation of the electromagnetic wave transmitted through waveguide.

Abstract: A phased array system comprising an array of antennas outputting or receiving electromagnetic radiation to or from a steerable direction, wherein the electromagnetic radiation is at submillimeter wavelengths. The system further comprises a plurality of waveguides outputting or receiving the signals to or from the antennas, each of the waveguides with individual phase tuning. The waveguides are configured and dimensioned to guide an electromagnetic wave comprising the signals having a frequency in a range of 100 gigahertz (GHz) to 1000 terahertz (THz). The system further comprises means for phase shifting the signal by means of shifting or varying one or more phases of the signals relative to one another so as to vary, steer, or scan a direction of the electromagnetic radiation.
