Abstract

A rectangular-waveguide output UTC-PD module integrating a HEMT power amplifier has been developed for operation in the 125-GHz band. The fabricated module exhibits maximum output power of more than 14dBm with nearly flat frequency dependence in the 115-135GHz range. A 10-Gbit/s error-free wireless transmission at 125GHz with a minimum sensitivity of -34dBm for a bit-error-rate of 10^-12 is also demonstrated using the fabricated module.
