All Active MMIC-Based Wireless Communication at 220 GHz
Abstract
A wireless data link operating at a carrier frequency of 220 GHz is supporting a data rate of up to 25 Gbit/s in on-off-keyed PRBS as well as complex 256-QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) transmission. The millimeter-wave transmit and receive frontends consist of active multi-functional millimeter-wave microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), realized in 50 nm mHEMT technology and packaged into split-block waveguide modules. The paper presents system considerations for wireless links in the 200-300-GHz range, discusses the design and performance of dedicated broadband transmit and receive MMICs, and presents link experiments. With an RF transmit power of -3.4-1.4 dBm in the IF frequency range from 0 to 20 GHz , a receiver conversion gain of better than -4.8 dB up to 270 GHz and an estimated noise figure of less than 7.5 dB at 220 GHz, a 231-1 PRBS with a data rate of up to 25 Gbit/s is transmitted over 50 cm and received with an eye diagram quality factor >;3 . At 10 Gbit/s, an uncorrected bit-error rate (BER) of 1.6·10-9is measured over a distance of 2 m. A 256-QAM signal with approx. 14 Mbit/s is received with an uncorrected BER of 9.1·10-4.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
