We present the design and integration of Photonics based Terahertz wireless communication system using all commercially available system components. The performance of the developed system is then characterized by measuring the Bit error rate (BER) at the data rate of 5.5 Gbps as a function of communication link distance, angular rotation of the detector and bias voltage of the photomixer. With optimized threshold an error free transmission of 5.5 Gbps has been achieved over the link distance of 30 cm. Finally, the design for the integration of 4K camera with the THz communication system is discussed and the transmission of live uncompressed 4K video has been demonstrated successfully.
