300-GHz CMOS Transceiver for Terahertz Wireless Communication

Abstract

The vast terahertz frequency band around 300 GHz has a potential to be used for next-generation wireless communication. 300-GHz transceiver has been developed using silicon CMOS technology of which the unity-power-gain frequency, $\pmb{f_{\max}}$, is below the said frequency band. Possible channel allocation and design of the transceiver are discussed.
