Description
Summary:In this paper we present communication measurements with a fully integrated 240 GHz transmitter based on a single SiGe RF chip in 0.13μm Bi-CMOS technology. For an improved transmitter gain the on-chip antenna is built up using in-antenna power combining in conjunction with a dielectric 12mm silicon lens. The measurement results show that data rates of up to 30 Gbps are possible for 8-PSK modulated signals. For more robust communication with bit error ratio below 10 -3 , data rates of 24 Gbps could be achieved using QPSK modulated signals, without any error correction.
