  • Patent number: 8053732
    Abstract: Provided are a terahertz wave transmission and reception (Tx/Rx) module package and method of manufacturing the same. The complete and separate terahertz wave Tx/Rx module package is implemented by simply aligning a silicon ball lens, a photoconductive antenna and a focusing lens, and thus facilitates generation or measurement of a terahertz wave. The terahertz wave Tx/Rx module package and method can remarkably reduce time and cost required to build a terahertz wave generation and measurement system, and simplify and miniaturize the terahertz wave generation and measurement system. In addition, characteristics of a terahertz wave generated by the photoconductive antenna can be simply measured. Furthermore, the terahertz wave Tx/Rx module package can be stored and transported with a photoconductive antenna, a silicon ball lens and a focusing lens kept aligned as they are, and also it is possible to minimize pollution of terahertz wave devices caused by surroundings.

  • Publication number: 20100134372
    Abstract: Provided is a folded dipole antenna including a meander line formed on a photoconductive substrate, characterized by an input impedance of several k?, which is much higher than that of a conventional dipole antenna, due to optimization of a horizontal length, a line interval, a width, and a line number of the meander line. Accordingly, use of the folded dipole antenna greatly improves an impedance matching characteristic between the antenna and a photomixer having an output impedance of 10 k? or more, and accordingly an output of a THz continuous wave.
