A W-Band Photonic Transmitter-Mixer Based on High-Power Near-Ballistic Uni-Traveling-Carrier Photodiode (NBUTC-PD) for 1.25-Gb/s BPSK Data Transmission under Bias Modulation

Abstract

We demonstrate W-band photonic transmitters-mixers, which are composed of near-ballistic-uni-traveling-carrier-photodiodes and quasi-Yagi antennas without integrating Si-lens. By utilizing it, data-transmission at W-band can be achieved under bias modulation of 1.25-Gb/s BPSK with 5GHz IF signals. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
