Abstract :
In this manuscript, we present a new antenna topology applied to the so called THz gap, based on using a dielectric rod antenna avoiding the use of the classical lens for collimating the emitted/received power. The scope and future perspective of the manuscript is beyond this idea: we develop this topology with the perspective of being the optimum antenna system to be coupled in a THz waveguide easy manufactured and with extremely low propagation losses, as we present here.
