Abstract

Terahertz (THz) technology has gained considerable research attention in recent years as a result of its growing number of applications in spectroscopy, medicine, communication, material characterisation, sensing, and imaging. Terahertz antennas are key devices for sending and receiving THz electromagnetic waves in upcoming THz systems because of their tiny size, wide frequency bandwidth, and high data rate. Between the microwave and infrared frequency bands, the THz is a group of frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 10 THz. The great penetration with minimal attenuation and high-resolution imaging capacity of THz technology is one of the reasons for its popularity. This chapter will compare and contrast the performance of microstrip THz antennas composed of various substrate materials.

6.1 Introduction

Terahertz (THz) waves, also known as sub-millimetre waves, are found in the electromagnetic spectrum between the optical and microwave frequency ranges [1]. The useable frequency band is bigger than millimetre waves, the beam direction is stronger, and the secrecy and anti-interference performance are superior. THz waves are more efficient and have greater penetration than light waves [2]. THz antennas have the ...
