Claim 18:
19. A method for operating a microelectromechanical system (MEMS), wherein the MEMS comprises:
a substrate comprising a surface;
a lid comprising a surface;
spacers separating the lid and the substrate, wherein each of the spacers is coupled to the surface of the substrate and the surface of the lid;
a cavity defined by the spacers, the surface of the lid, and the surface of the substrate;
a pixel in the cavity, the pixel positioned on the surface of the substrate; and
a reflector comprising an antenna structure and a transmission line, wherein the method comprises:
receiving radiation;
directing, via the antenna structure and the transmission line, the radiation to the pixel;
shifting, via the antenna structure and the transmission line, a phase of the radiation; and
detecting, via the pixel, the radiation.
