Abstract

A new type of high-speed amplitude shift-keying (ASK) transceiver has been developed in an integrated manner at 60 GHz by using the nonradiative dielectric waveguide (NRD-guide) technology. An emphasis is placed on the high-speed performance of the newly developed ASK modulator. The modulator uses a Schottky barrier diode (SBD), which has higher switching speed than a p-i-n diode. In addition, the operation principle of it is different from that of the conventional p-i-n diode modulator. A pair of NRD-guide transceivers have been fabricated and 400-Mb/s data-transmission test has been carried out successfully by using them
