Ultra-Wideband Transmission Systems From an Energy Perspective: Which Band is Next?
arXiv:2601.05000
Abstract
Measuring the power efficiency of the state-of-the-art OESCL-band amplifiers, we show that 1000 km OESCL-band systems can achieve 2.98x greater throughput for +48% higher energy-per-bit compared to CL-band transmission only.
