摘要

Low-power microwave systems with minimal losses are required due to the growing demand for more efficient communication systems. Two-dimensional semiconductors can potentially be used to create low-power microwave circuits, but the development of integrated two-dimensional microwave systems remains limited. Here we report integrated two-dimensional transmitters fabricated on four-inch monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) wafers. The transmission loss of monolayer MoS2 channel in switch is 0.51 dB, and the power consumption of the complete 16-element transmitter is 3.2 μW. The 4 × 4 phased array transmitter, which offers both communication and radar functions, exhibits a bandwidth of 6 GHz, a beam scanning angle from −35° to 35°, a transmission distance of 136 m and a standby time of 26 days when powered by a 1,000 mAh-capacity battery. Our complete board-level system has a size of around 3 × 2 cm2, and we show that it can be integrated into a small insect model.
