Abstract
We investigate the use of an InP-based double-heterojunction bipolar transistor as a detector for wireless communications around 300~GHz. The sensitivity of the detector, along with its complex output impedance are characterized for a transistor (un)coupled to a log-spiral antenna, at different biases. A real-time uncompressed high-definition video signal is successfully transmitted at 1.5 Gbps in a heterodyne configuration.
