48-Gbit/s 8K video-transmission using resonant tunnelling diodes in 300-GHz band

Abstract

The authors report on a real-time 48-Gbit/s terahertz band wireless communication experiment employing a pair of resonant tunnelling diodes at the receiver and uni-travelling carrier photodiodes at the transmitter. The wireless transmission of uncompressed full-resolution 8K ultra high-definition television video signal is successfully demonstrated in the 300-GHz band for the first time.
