Abstract

A hybrid full-wave/quasi-optical electromagnetic model for the design of lens-integrated THz antennas for high frequency non-contact device characterization (30 GHz – 3 THz) is presented. Experimental validation of the antenna properties (input impedance and radiation pattern) is also provided to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed model.
