Investigation on the effect of physical parameters of terahertz dipole photoconductive antenna to their performance / Ahmad Syazwan Mahadan

The effect of the physical parameters to the resonant frequency of the terahertz (THz) dipole photoconductive antenna (PCA) is investigated. The analysis had been done by varying some of the parameters of the dipole PCA. The parameters are substrate thickness, substrate height, substrate length, cop...
