There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and Terahertz (THz) frequency range is generally defined as frequencies between 30GHz to 3THz. With the recent advancement in mm-wave/THz technologies, it has shown great promise in a wide range of emerging applications, such as high-speed wireless communication, non-invasive imaging, biomedical sensing, non-destructive quality control, and spectroscopy. Up until recently, the mm-wave/THz systems have been mostly dominated by compound III-V processes and quasi-optical approaches. In this dissertation, we will present our approaches towards the development of fully integrated signal generation and detection systems for various emerging applications at mm-wave and THz using advanced silicon technologies.
