Front end for D-band High Data Rate Point to Point links

A novel front end for high data rate point to point links at D-band (151 – 174.8 GHz) will provide up to 45 Gb/s over 1 km range. The low power signal generation is provided by a low cost Resonant Tunnelling Diode (RTD) oscillator. The RTD oscillator is connected to a Traveling Wave Tube that provides up to 10 W transmission power.
