Abstract :
Initial measurements are presented of a dipole antenna mounted on top of a photonic crystal structure at terahertz frequencies. The configuration and test setup are described. The dipole on top of the photonic crystal has higher directivity in contrast to a single dipole element. The ability of this technology to suppress surface waves is noted
