In one embodiment, an integrated circuit antenna array is provided that includes: a first substrate, a plurality of antennas adjacent the first substrate; an RF network adjacent the first substrate, and a plurality of distributed amplifiers integrated with the first substrate and coupled to the RF network, each distributed amplifier including a varactor configured to load the RF network with a variable capacitance responsive to a control signal, wherein the RF network and the distributed plurality of amplifiers are configured to form a resonant network such that if a timing signal is injected into an input port of the RF network, the resonant network oscillates to provide a globally synchronized RF signal to each of the antennas, and wherein a resonant oscillation of the resonant network is tunable responsive to the control signal.
