Sub-THz components for high capacity point to multipoint wireless networks

Abstract

The first point to multipoint wireless system at D-band (141 - 148.5 GHz), providing high capacity area sectors fed by high data rate G-band (275 - 305 GHz) links connected to fiber access points, will be described. It is the objective of the European Commission H2020 ULTRAWAVE “Ultra capacity wireless layer beyond 100 GHz based on millimeter wave Traveling Wave Tubes”. The high transmission power provided by novel millimeter wave traveling wave tube will allow an unprecedented range and data rate at this frequency band. A novel MMIC chipset including components built by GaAs and InP processes to realize a full electronics solution for the sub-THz wireless communication system will be described.
