This includes a power budget of the passively powered transponder. The received power level of the backscattered data for the theoretical link budget is -52:5 dBm. For the first setup slot antennas are developed and measured in the anechoic chamber. The measured gain is 4.0 dB. The power of the backscatter data in setup 1 is -74:8 dBm. This corresponds to the theoretical link budget since, all losses such as cable or lower antenna gain are taken into account. Setup 2 is upgraded on the reader side with horn antennas. At 5.8 GHz, the gain reaches the value of 10.8 dB. The second setup shows improvement in the receiving backscattered power to a value of -62:4 dBm. Furthermore, as a solution to detect those transponders not presented in the main slope of the antenna, a steerable beam is introduced by means of a Rotman lens.

To accommodate this demand, advanced terahertz signal processing techniques need to be investigated. Parallel Sequence Spread Spectrum (PSSS) is a physical layer (PHY) baseband technology that seems to be suited for being used for ultra-high speed wireless communication since the receiver architecture is especially simple and can be implemented almost completely in analog hardware. In this paper, a PSSS modulated signal at a chip rate of 20 Gcps with a spectral efficiency of (only) 1 bit/s/Hz is transmitted using a linearity limited 240 GHz wireless frontend. PSSS transceiver models are realized offline in MATLAB/Simulink. The PSSS transmitter generates the PSSS modulated symbols that are loaded onto an Arbitrary Waveform generator (AWG) and then transmitted using the available 240 GHz wireless frontend. A Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) samples and stores the received signal. The PSSS receiver performs synchronization, channel estimation and demodulation. For a coded data rate of 20 Gbps, an eye opening of 40% and a BER of 5.4·10 -5 has been measured.
