We developed a planar slot antenna on an Si substrate for a photonic > 100-
GHz millimeter-wave (MMW) transmitter. We designed the antenna by using thr
ee-dimensional electromagnetic-field simulators and characterized its perfo
rmance by using an optoelectronic network analyzer. The transmitter uses a
very fast photodiode with high output power. Using these photonic technique
s, we succeeded in building this compact photonic transmitter that emits MM
Ws with a power of >0.2 mW at a frequency of 120 GHz.
