W-Band Graphene-Based Six-Port Receiver

We demonstrate a full-fledged millimeter-wave graphene-based six-port receiver frontend at 90 GHz employing graphene power detectors. Exploiting the high responsivity and wide dynamic range reported for the state-of-the-art graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs), graphene power detectors are demonstrated beyond the maximum oscillation frequency, f(max), of the graphene transistor. The proposed circuit is fabricated on thinned SiC substrate and its functionality is verified by demodulation of 10-Mbps ON-OFF keying (OOK) digitally modulated signal.
