Abstract

This paper presents the wireless data transmission of complex modulated signals in the E-band using a MMIC-based link compared to the current state of the art in millimeter-wave wireless communication. Highly linear and extremely broadband frontend components in combination with the latest equipment to generate and analyze broadband complex data signals are used in this experiment. The received signal quality is evaluated in terms of EVM and BER. An error free QPSK transmission with a data rate of 40 Gbit/s over a wireless distance of 6m is presented, while the transmission of 80 Gbit/s signals, achieved by 16-QAM modulation, results in a BER of 3.7 × 10^-3.
