Record Breaking 100 Gigabits Per Second

With demand for wireless data transmission speeds and capacities growing beyond what microwave signals can carry, the search is on for ways to use higher frequency THz waves that have a much larger capacity to carry data.

Using a combination of optical coherent technologies and THz transceivers, IEMN researcher, Guillaume Ducournau and Klaus Engenhardt, CTO Tektronix EMEA, demonstrate record-breaking wireless data transmission and showcase the advances being made toward operational wireless links with THz frequencies and optical-equivalent data rates.
