We present a terahertz wave wireless link operating at 300 GHz which has a potential for use in ultra fast future wireless services in short range. Terahertz wave was generated and modulated with photonic technologies in the transmitter, allowing us to use radio on fiber system concept as well. For the receiver, we used a Schottky barrier diode detector integrated with a planar antenna. With the link, error free data transmission at 12.5 Gbps was experimentally demonstrated. Taking the performance margin of the transmitter and receiver into consideration, we believe that even up to 20-Gbps data can be transmitted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
