Abstract :
Experimental multi-Gbit/s systems up to 20 Gbit/s have been developed and tested in the Research Institute of Deutsche Bundespost Telekom. These high bit rates could be obtained by using both, standard digital monolithic GaAs-circuits (up to 10 Gbit/s) and non commercial monolithic Silicon-circuits (above 10 Gbit/s), and by applying proved microwave components to the digital design.
