Physical parametric analysis of Terahertz photoconductive bow-tie dipole antenna on frequency and radiation pattern using electromagnetic simulation tools / Nor Baini Alias

This paper presents the investigation of Terahertz (THz) Photoconductive Antenna (PCA) parameters on the frequency, bandwidth and radiation pattern. Nowadays, studies on PC antenna still don't provide a comprehensive solution in designing a good THz PCA for short distance applications. Most of...
