220 GHz wireless data transmission experiments up to 30 Gbit/s

Abstract

A wireless data link using active MMIC components at a carrier frequency of 220 GHz is supporting record data rates of up to 30 Gbit/s. The paper presents receiver sensitivity measurements for data rates up to 30 Gbit/s and wireless data transmission experiments for distances up to 20 m. For this distance a 231 – 1 bit pattern with a data rate of 15 Gbit/s was transmitted. For a transmission distance of 10m it was possible to transmit a 25 Gbit/s signal.
