Leaky Dielectric Platform for Integrated Terahertz Components

该项目旨在实现集成太赫兹组件，包括可编程滤波器，紧凑型光谱仪，频率扫描天线和宽带/宽边高增益天线。这些组件在新兴的太赫兹集成领域应用中至关重要，并将取代数十年前庞大的自由空间太赫兹同行。硅将是所有这些太赫兹结构实现可调谐性和最高效率的关键材料。有效介质理论将使性能，功能，可集成性和结构简单。预期的成果是构建高速6 G基础设施和高分辨率远距离传感的基石，以在太赫兹工程的曙光中获得经济效益。

This project aims to realise integrated terahertz components including programmable filters, compact spectrometers, frequency-scanning antennas, and broadband/broadside high-gain antennas. These components are crucial in emerging terahertz integration for field applications and will supersede decades-old bulky free-space terahertz counterparts. Silicon will be a key material for all of these terahertz structures to achieve tunability and highest efficiency. Effective medium theory will enable performance, functionality, integrability, and structural simplicity. The expected outcomes are building blocks towards high-speed 6G infrastructure and high-resolution stand-off sensing to reap economic benefits at the dawn of terahertz engineering.
