In this paper, we present a 6-bit phase shifter designed and fabricated using the 150 nm GaN HEMT process. The designed phase shifter operates within the n260 (37~40 GHz) band, as specified in the 5G NR standard, and employs the structure of a switched-filter phase shifter. By serially connecting six single-bit phase shifters, ranging from 180° to 5.625°, the designed phase shifter achieves a phase range of 360°. The fabricated phase shifter exhibits a minimum insertion loss of 5 dB and an RMS phase error of less than 5.36° within the 37 to 40 GHz. This phase shifter is intended for seamless integration with high-power RF circuits.

The cross talk and power consumption of the 2 × 2 optical switch is a key metric in the design of large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs). We build a theoretical model of a 2 × 2 Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) optical switch, taking into account both imbalances in the arm loss and the coupler splitting ratio. The splitting ratio imbalance requirement for a given switch cross talk is summarized, which provides a guideline for the switch design.

A differential microelectromechanical system (MEMS) quartz resonant accelerometer with a novel oscillating readout circuit is proposed. The phase noise in a piezoelectric quartz resonant accelerometer has been systematically investigated. A high-performance front-end is used to extract the motional charge from a piezoelectric quartz resonator for the first time.

Unlike traditional designs of SSPP devices that rely on the strong-dispersion property, we address the high insertion loss issue by leveraging the weak-dispersion region of SSPP. A detailed study reveals the relation between the waveguide length, phase shift, and insertion loss of SSPP.

The Airy beam is radiated by judiciously designing the length of the slots to modulate the phase distribution. Compared to Airy beams generated by phased array antennas or metasurfaces, no complex feeding network associated with phase shifters and no space-wave illumination is required, thus allowing one to reach a low-profile structure.

- The study focuses on enhancing the performance of PEDOT: PSS, a conductive polymer used for flexible transparent electrodes, which traditionally faced limitations in research and application.
- The newly developed electrode features high conductivity (up to 1300 S cm) and excellent transparency across a wide range of wavelengths, from visible light to terahertz frequencies, enabled by DMSO doping.
- The transparent electrode demonstrates remarkable stability throughout extensive electrical cycling and high temperatures, leading to its successful application in creating a liquid crystal phase shifter with improved driving performance.
