Abstract

The transmission of complex modulated data signals with data rates up to 30 Gbit/s is successfully realized using a 240 GHz wireless link based on active MMIC components. The paper presents the transmission of QPSK and 8-PSK modulated signals over a distance of 40 m as well as a characterization of the RF frontend based on S-parameter measurements and back-to-back signal transmission. The link quality is evaluated in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM) measurement. For a symbol rate of 10 GBd, the EVM measurement shows values of 10.3% and 15.2% for the QPSK and 8-PSK signal, respectively.
