Abstract
An apparatus comprises a coherent radar system on a single chip configured to transmit high-frequency signals with a center frequency in a submillimeter wavelength range that corresponds to a frequency range of 0.3 THz and no greater than 0.4 THz. The radar system on the single chip (RSOC) comprises a phased array transmitter antenna configured to emit a radar beam with a center frequency of greater than 0.3 THz and no greater than 0.4 THz. The RSOC further includes a receiver configured to provide a voltage signal to a wide band receiver voltage controlled oscillator to form a phased array receiver antenna configured to receive reflected signals from the emitted radar beam.
