Abstract

We report a 202 GHz wireless data transmission link, communicating 32 over 7.1 meters, using planar InP HBT transmitter and receiver modules. The modules are highly integrated and require simple physical assembly without waveguide interfaces. A single 2.8 mm 0.75 mm InP HBT transmitter IC and a single 2.3 mm 0.85 mm InP HBT receiver IC, operating from a 24.5 GHz local oscillator (LO) reference, provide frequency conversion between 6 GHz (I, Q) intermediate-frequency (IF) and the 202 GHz modulated carrier. Signals are radiated and received by directly wire-bonding the InP ICs to 2 × 2 patch antenna arrays on 50 SiO2substrates, with these antennas coupled to external 50 mm diameter PTFE lenses. 8 Gbaud 16QAM data transmission (32 Gb/s) over 7.1 m, on a link with 10.4 dB added attenuation, showed 13.4% RMS error vector magnitude.
