TERAhertz high power LINKS using photonic devices, tube amplifiers and Smart antennas (TERALINKS)

TERALINKS项目致力于在操作环境中演示200-300 GHz带宽的实时太赫兹通信系统。TERALINKS联盟旨在集成三种关键的使能技术，并展示与工业相关的最先进的系统：太赫兹源（基于带宽和核心网络兼容性的光子学），太赫兹发电，使用行波管作为感兴趣频率的最有前途的高功率源之一，以及先进的太赫兹天线。TERALINKS联盟由欧洲主要研究所组成，这些研究所在新型太赫兹通信系统的每个关键构建块上都具有显著但互补的专业知识，所有联盟成员都在开发太赫兹通信组件和使用从光子学到高频电子学的技术的系统方面建立了相当多的经验。我们的愿景是将基础研究从单个大学实验室带到一个可以彻底改变未来移动通信的地方，在创新和开发方面为欧洲带来多方面的回报。项目期限建议为24个月。

The TERALINKS project is dedicated to the demonstration of a real-time THz communication system, with the 200-300 GHz bandwidth, in an operational environment.The TERALINKS consortium aims to integrate three key enabling technologies and demonstrate the state of the art system with industrial relevance: THz sources (photonics- based for bandwidth and core network compatibility), THz power generation using travelling wave tubes as one of the most promising high power sources at frequencies of interest, and advanced THz antennas. The TERALINKS consortium consists of key European institutes with notable but complementary expertise in every key building block of novel THz communication systems, and all consortium members have established considerable experiences in developing THz communication components and the system using technologies than span from photonics, to high frequency electronics. Our vision is to take fundamental research from individual university labs to a point where it is can revolutionise future mobile communications, with a manifold return for Europe, in innovation and exploitation. The project duration is proposed for 24 months.
