12.5-Gb/s Wireless Data Transmission by Using Bias Modulation of NBUTC-PD Based W-Band Photonic Transmitter-Mixer

Abstract

We demonstrated near-ballistic uni-traveling-carrier photodiode based broadband photonic transmitter-mixers with quasi-Yagi radiators fed horn antennas. 100GHz wireless transmission with date rate as high as 12.5-Gb/s via bias modulation under high photocurrent (20mA) has been achieved.
