Abstract :
A planar slot antenna on an Si substrate for a photonic millimetre-wave transmitter that operates at a frequency of 120 GHz has been designed and characterised. By integrating a uni-travelling-carrier photodiode with the antenna, emission of millimetre-wave signals with a power of 250 μW has been demonstrated experimentally
