In an effort towards high-speed and low-power I/O data link in future Exa-scale data server, this paper presents a signal source and a modulator in D-band. Split-ring resonator (SRR) structures are used in both to boost the signal power and extinction ratio (ER). The modulator manifests itself as a...
