THz links using tube amplifiers and steerable beams for indoor applications

Abstract

We present in this paper an ongoing project will is targeting the combination of several technologies to achieve high-data-rate and long-range links using a mW level source with fast modulation, waveguide coupled to drive a traveling-wave tube amplifier towards a modulated in the 210-250 GHz range. In this project we are also investigating antennas structures, high-gain for outdoor links and using lens or cassegrain design or lower gain systems with steerable capability for indoor links.
