Abstract
To meet the growing need for higher data rates with improved energy efficiencies, this article demonstrates the application of resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) for wireless communications at a frequency of approximately 860 GHz. By incorporating a low-loss air-bridge transmission line to form a cavity resonator and a ring-slot antenna, a two-RTD oscillator realized coherent terahertz radiation with a power output of 0.23 mW and a dc-to-RF efficiency of 0.2%. Experimental validation confirmed wireless data transmission for data rates up to 1.2 Gbit/s using on-off keying modulation with bit error rates below 10−9. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported demonstration of all-electronic oscillators for wireless communication beyond 850 GHz, paving the way for next-generation networks and advanced integrated circuits in the artificial intelligence-driven era.
