Abstract :
We presented a gigabit/s wireless link that uses 120-GHz MMW photonic techniques for the MMW generation, modulation and emission. We have succeeded in wireless data transmission at up to 10 Gbit/s. We also described a low-cost MMW wireless link that uses FP laser and PD bias modulation for MMW generation and modulation, respectively. This link transmitted data at up to 1.25 Gbit/s. We believe that gigabit/s wireless communication will become widespread using these MMW photonic techniques.
