Abstract :
The detection of high data-rate wireless communication using a terahertz-frequency carrier, and a GaAs transistor as a detector, is reported. Communications are investigated around 0.2 and 0.3087 THz. For the first time, an error-free transmission at data rates up to 8.2 Gbit/s is demonstrated, using a carrier frequency of 0.3087 THz.
