High gain antenna characteristics for 300 GHz band fixed wireless communication systems

Abstract

To realize the terahertz fixed wireless communication links, a high gain antenna is required to compensate the large path loss of high frequency band. In this paper, high gain antennas of horn, cassegrain and off-set parabolic types are developed, and these antenna radiation patterns are measured at 300 GHz. The measured patterns are compared with the mathematical models of lower frequency band, and it is found that they have good agreements. This study of high gain antennas can contribute to a link budget design and interference evaluation of terahertz wireless communication systems.
