Abstract

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.
