A novel architecture of terahertz CMOS PA-less dynamic optimal load OOK modulator with low loss, high ON/OFF ratio and high data rate while no DC power consumption is proposed. The modulator is simulated in a 28-nm CMOS technology and has 3dB loss, 20dB ON/OFF ratio and 20Gbps data rate with zero DC power by utilizing digitally controlled artificial dielectric (DiCAD). The proposed terahertz modulator helps make possible 20Gbps short-range wireless data transmission at terahertz regime.
