Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device may include an antenna that conveys wireless signals at frequencies greater than 100 ghz. the antenna may include a radiating element coupled to a uni-travelling-carrier photodiode (utc pd). an optical path may illuminate the utc pd using a first optical local oscillator (lo) signal and a second optical lo signal. an optical phase shift may be applied to the first optical lo signal. a mach-zehnder modulator (mzm) may be interposed on the optical path. during signal transmission, the mzm may modulate wireless data onto the second optical lo signal while control circuitry applies a first bias voltage to the utc pd. during signal reception, the control circuitry may apply a second bias voltage to the utc pd that configures the utc pd to convert received wireless signals into intermediate frequency signals and/or optical signals.
