High-conversion-gain 100-GHz photoreceiver integrated with UTC-PD and PHEMT amplifier for 92-GHz carrier, 10.7-Gbps photonic wireless communication

We successfully designed and fabricated a high-conversion-gain 100-GHz photoreceiver integrated with a UTC-PD and a PHEMT amplifier for 92-GHz carrier photonic wireless communication. Then, in a demonstration of 92-GHz carrier, OFDM, 16-QAM photonic wireless communication, we confirmed that high data rate of 11.03-Gbps (bit error rate of 1×10-3) could be achieved at a low optical input power, without post amplifiers for the photoreceiver. The designs and the results are discussed.
