Abstract:We propose and demonstrate an ultra-low-power 3×3 unitary matrix multiplier with MEMS-based tunable couplers and phase shifters. The static power consumption and tuning energy per tuning element are less than 0.13 µW and 115 pJ, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
