We have developed a Si–CMOS terahertz image sensor to solve the paucity of low-cost terahertz detectors. The imaging pixel directly connects to a VCO-based ADC and achieves pixel parallel ADC architecture for high-speed global shutter THz imaging. In this paper, we propose a digital and analog calibration techniques for offset and gain variation of each pixel using global shutter operation. These techniques suppressed the variations by 85.7% and 89.4%, respectively, compared to without calibration.
