Wireless 100 Gb/s: PHY layer overview and challenges in the THz freqency band

Abstract

There is a continuous increase of bandwidth-demanding services such as ultra HDTV, 3D TV, etc. which will require data rates up to 100–400 Gb/s for short range wireless communication. This paper introduces a novel mixed-mode design where both analog and digital domain design is considered, which helps in the reduction of power consumption. Parallel Sequence Spread Spectrum (PSSS) is used for physical layer (PHY) baseband technology, which considerably alleviates both transmitter and receiver design.
