    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a radar transmitter comprised within a single integrated chip substrate, which is capable of continuous beam steering of a transmitted radar beam as well as an option to change the physical position of the origin of the transmit radar beam. The radar transmitter has a signal generator that generates an RF signal. The RF signal is provided to a plurality of independent transmission chains, which contain independently operated vector modulators configured to introduce an individual phase adjustment to the high frequency input signal to generate separate RF output signals. A control unit is configured to selectively activate a subset of (e.g., two or more) the independent transmission chains. By activating the subset of independent transmission chains to generate RF output signals with separate phases, a beam steering functionality is enabled. Furthermore, the subset defines a changeable position of the transmitted radar beam.

    Abstract: A switching transistor includes a substrate having a substrate dopant concentration and a barrier region bordering on the substrate, having a first conductivity type and having a barrier region dopant concentration that is higher than the substrate dopant concentration. A source region is embedded in the barrier region, and has a second conductivity type and has a dopant concentration that is higher than the barrier region dopant concentration. A drain region is embedded in the barrier region and is offset from the source region. The draining region has the second conductivity type and a dopant concentration that is higher than the barrier region dopant concentration. A channel region extends between the source region and the drain region, wherein the channel region comprises a subregion of the barrier region. An insulation region covers the channel region and is disposed between the channel region and a gate electrode. The barrier region dopant concentration and the substrate dopant concentration are chosen for generating a space-charge region around the source region and the drain region and for depleting the barrier region.
