ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland 1 2 Mm-wave 5G communication seeks to support multi-Gb/s data-rates over its large available spectrum, particularly in the K/Ka bands (24 to 40GHz). To ensure sufficient link budget under mm-wave path losses, array-based systems are required. However, element coupling in practical antenna arrays varies each antenna load from its ideal 50Ω impedance (i.e., VSWR = 1). Power amplifiers (PAs) govern the overall transmitter (Tx) performance yet are the most susceptible blocks to VSWR variation, as they interface directly with antennas. The antenna VSWR alters the PA load, degrading the PA linearity, efficiency, output power, and reliability. Multiple proposed reconfigurable PAs maintain the PA performance under VSWR but require VSWR resilient built-in-self-test (BiST), particularly on-chip power and impedance sensors, to determine the PA operation/reconfiguration. Previous work on power detectors is primarily based on
