Abstract :
A THz transceiver using twin photoconductive dipole antennas fabricated on the same substrate chip has been demonstrated. With reduced photoconductive noise compared to that of a single photoconductive transceiver, signal-to-noise operation as good as that of a conventional separate emitter-receiver system was achieved. An interference effect due to the adjacent antennas was also observed
