Millimeter-wave is promising for a carrier in the next-generation (5G) wireless communication system. We have proposed and developed antenna-coupled-electrode electro-optic modulators operating in millimeter-wave band. For reducing unwanted resonance and increasing receving power, we fabricated and evaluated antenna-coupled-electrode electro-optic modulators operating in 60 GHz band using low-dielectric constant substrate.
