Computational THz Imaging (CTI) is the process of indirectly forming images using algorithms that rely on a significant amount of computing. Unlike focalplane arrays (FPAs), a single-pixel camera (SPC) uses spatially patterned illumination in conjunction with CTI to measure the entire image using only one receiver [1]. CTI can overcome existing SNR limitations in THz imaging systems as it relaxes the implementation issues of high-power sources and low-noise FPAs (Fig. 29.1.1). However, measurements must be taken in series rather than all at once, which calls for fast THz system-on-a-chip (SoC) implementations in advanced silicon technologies. Past work on THz SPCs have relied on external metamaterial [1] or plasmonic [2] switches for spatial modulation, but their low modulation depth (< 60%) and rate (<20kHz) degrade the imaging speed and SNR. Silicon-based source arrays have shown coherent/incoherent power combining for coherent imaging [3], beamsteering [4], and diffused-illumination
