We present a high-directivity photonic emitter with a high-gain antenna and waveguide-output photodiode module (WG-PM) for extending the transmission distance of a wireless link that uses a 120-GHz millimeter wave. The module employs a uni-traveling-carrier photodiode, broad-band high electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) amplifier, and planar-circuit-to-waveguide transition substrate. The maximum output power of the WG-PM is 8 dBm at a frequency of 120 GHz, and it has a 3-dB bandwidth of over 16 GHz. The wireless link with the high-directivity photonic emitter achieved 10-Gbit/s wireless data transmission, and using a high-gain Gaussian optic lens antenna and an HEMT amplifier reduced the input optical power necessary for error-free transmission. The transmission characteristics of the link showed that its transmission distance can be extended to over 100 m.
