Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. A method of operating an electronic device comprising:
with optical components, generating a first optical local oscillator (LO) signal and a second optical LO signal that is offset in wavelength with respect to the first optical LO signal;
with a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), modulating wireless data onto the second optical LO signal;
with a uni-travelling-carrier photodiode (UTC PD), converting the first optical LO signal and the second optical LO signal into a current at a frequency greater than 100 GHz on an antenna radiating element while the UTC PD is biased using a first bias voltage;
with the antenna radiating element, transmitting first wireless signals associated with the current, wherein the first wireless signals include the wireless data; and
with the UTC PD, receiving second wireless signals at a frequency greater than 100 GHz using the antenna radiating element while the UTC PD is biased using a second bias voltage that is different from the first bias voltage.
