Abstract

The D-band, spanning 110 GHz to 170 GHz, has emerged as a relevant frequency range for future mobile communications and radar sensing applications, particularly in the context of 6G technologies. This demonstration presents a high-bandwidth, real-time integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) platform operating in the upper D-band at 160 GHz. The platform comprises a software-defined intermediate frequency transceiver and a D-band radio frequency module. Its flexible software design allows for rapid integration of signal processing algorithms. Highlighting its potential for advanced research in ISAC systems, the platforms's efficacy is showcased through a live demonstration with an algorithm implementing human target tracking and activity classification.
