Design and Analysis of A Terahertz Microstrip Antenna
Abstract: Terahertz radiation is in the electromagnetic spectrum. Terahertz radiation is used for a variety of purposes since it is non-ionizing and may move in a straight line. It has some similarities with microwaves, in that terahertz radiation can penetrate non-conducting materials, but it shows less depth of penetration than microwaves. Compared to millimeter waves the capacity of Terahertz waves is large enough and possesses high data transmission rates. Terahertz radiation …
