“…Miniature neon indicator lamps, also known as glow discharge detectors (GDDs), were found to be very sensitive and inexpensive detectors (0.3$ each) for MMW and THz radiation [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The GDD is a room temperature detector, capable of direct and heterodyne detection [14,15,19]. In previous studies, The NEP and responsivity of the GDD were calculated for the electronic detection system at 100 GHz and resulted in 10 nW/…”

A full proof of concept for low-cost millimeter wave (MMW) communication link is demonstrated in this study. The suggested MMW channel is based on a very inexpensive commercially available off-axis dish antenna usually used for TV satellites, two Arduino Uno micro controller boards, and glow discharge detectors (GDD). The GDD is a robust and inexpensive room-temperature plasma device which was found to be a sensitive MMW radiation detector. The Arduino micro controllers are used to encode a text message into serial bits and also decode it. Those serial bits were used to modulate the MMW radiation in On-Off keying. The detection of MMW radiation was performed using a simple and inexpensive GDD. The suggested MMW channel can be used as point to point backhaul wireless communication for the 5th generation of cellular communication.
