Terahertz Filters by Using Tapered Parallel-Plate Waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present experimental and finite-difference time-domain simulation studies on high pass filter (HPF) based on transverse electric (TE) mode, low pass filter based (LPF) on multiple slits, and tunable notch-filter based on single slit. The LPF and notch filter are carried out by using the metal slits positioned at the center of the air gaps in tapered parallel-plate waveguides (TPPWG).

Characterization of the terahertz near-field output of parallel-plate waveguides
We experimentally characterize the field confinement properties of various parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) geometries in the terahertz spectral range. In contrast to infinite-width PPWGs with free-space diffraction along the unshielded direction, finite-width (and also tapered) PPWGs showwell-confined THz fields at the output facet. Both the transverse field component, perpendicular to the insi...

متن کاملAnalysis of rectangular resonant cavities in terahertz parallel-plate waveguides.
We describe an experimental and theoretical characterization of rectangular resonant cavities integrated into parallel-plate waveguides, using terahertz pulses. When the waveguide is excited with the lowest-order transverse-electric mode, these cavities exhibit resonances with narrow linewidths. Broadband transmission spectra are compared with the results of mode-matching calculations, for vari...
متن کاملStudy of the impedance mismatch at the output end of a THz parallel-plate waveguide
We study the reflection of terahertz (THz) radiation at the end of a parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG), due to the impedance mismatch between the propagating transverse-electromagnetic mode and the free-space background. We find that, for a PPWG with uniformly spaced plates, the reflection coefficient at the output face increases as the plate separation decreases, consistent with predictions by e...
