The transistor-based devices together form what the researchers call monolithically integrated millimetre-wave circuits (MMICs).
During the experiment, the researchers sent data between Cologne and the 36.7 km distant town of Wachtberg.
The transistor-based devices together form what the researchers call monolithically integrated millimetre-wave circuits (MMICs).
The signal is then transmitted via a highly directive parabolic antenna and consequently received at the other station.
Radio transmission of high amounts of data over great distance serves many important program areas.
The advance would make supplying fast internet to rural areas and remote regions possible.
About 250 Internet connections can be supplied with 24 Megabit per second, researchers said.
The primary goal of the research project, called ACCESS, is to enhance satellite data transmission.
