Abstract

The session covers multi-Gbps transmitter and receiver building blocks and systems for photonics, wireline, and wireless applications. The session starts with a fully integrated silicon photonic transmitter, followed by an IQ modulator for coherent optical systems. The remaining papers are two sampling front ends, a wireline transmitter, and a D-band phase shifter for phased array antennas.
