A 220-GHz- Band 31.2-Gbps Dual-Carrier Real- Time Wireless Link Using 64-QAM Modulation

This paper describes a 220-GHz solid-state dual-carrier superheterodyne wireless link using 64-QAM modulation over a distance of 5 cm. By aggregating two channels in sub-terahertz band, the real-time data rate of the proposed link is double to achieve 31.2 Gbps (15.6 Gbps per channel). The measured SNR is 24.2 dB and 25.4 dB, and the BER is 1.8e-7 and 8.6e-8 for two channels, respectively. Meanwhile, 4-K video transmission is carried out in two channels which are all clear and free of stuck. The successful transmission of aggregated channels in this work shows great potential for future high data rate realtime communication.
