DESCRIPTION:This lecture will address innovative transceiver architectures 
 for radio links aiming at very high throughput (100+ Gbp) and low energy c
 onsumption operating at D-band and subTHz frequencies. In the first place\
 , channel aggregation architectures will be presented in detail. These arc
 hitectures allow cover a large band at RF without imposing containing band
 width requirement at the lower frequency interfaces\, by combining multipl
 e BB channels into parallel up and down conversion lanes. The design of th
 e most critical building blocks will be addressed\, as well as the packagi
 ng and module integration with the antennas\, with experimental results fr
 om fabricated prototypes. Next\, innovative techniques for the generation 
 of the multiple LO signals required by these channel aggregation architect
 ure will be presented and discussing\, including efficient calibration met
 hods. Finally\, high gain antenna architectures will be covered\, with a f
 ocus on alternatives to phased arrays for D-band and subTHz frequencies ba
 sed on reconfigurable metasurfaces and transmit arrays. Overall\, this lec
 ture will follow the thread of minimizing the energy consumption of each c
 omponent of the radio transceiver\, from the baseband interfaces up to the
  antenna system. The lecture will conclude with some applicative examples 
 where the performances of the links will be compared with the requirements
  of some use cases such as back/front haul links and smart factory network
