This paper presents the use of a Yagi-Uda antenna on polymer substrate for 300 GHz data communications. The antenna is described and characterized in terms of radiation pattern in the 300 GHz band. Then, it is used and validated within a communication link. Using amplitude shift keying modulation at 10 Gbps and without any signal post-processing nor off-line detection, error-free performance is achieved.
