Problems solved by technology

However, this method cannot meet the capacitance ratio and capacitance value required by the distributed phase shifter in the terahertz frequency band. At the same time, the structure of the MAM capacitor limits the design of the MEMS beam.
In the prior art, the defects of the terahertz phase shifter mainly lie in: too many parasitic parameters, strong process sensitivity; and because the device size is too small, the driving voltage is too large

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of components in the field of terahertz communication, radar and micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology, and specifically relates to a phase-shifting unit and a MEMS terahertz phase shifter composed of the same. Background technique [0002] Compared with other wave bands such as microwave and laser, the terahertz radar detection system has moderate search ability and coverage, better spatial resolution and angular resolution ability, and has good anti-interference ability. Compared with mechanical scanning radar, phased array radar does not need to rotate its antenna, its wave scanning is more flexible, it can track more targets, it has good anti-interference performance, and it can also find invisible targets. It is an important electronic scanning method. [0003] The phase shifter is a key component of the phased array antenna in the radar, and its cost and performance directly affect the cost...
