Abstract
In this work we show that a THz time domain system based on photoconductive antennas can be improved by over one order of magnitude by using the Ultra-wideband (UWB) leaky lens antenna. The system has been analyzed by implementing a physical optics method to characterize radiated fields by a silicon lens.
