Abstract :
A rectangular waveguide for low-loss transmission at THz frequencies is proposed. The waveguide is based on the reflection of the fundamental mode on the side walls. By adding a stratified medium, a low impedance condition is obtained in the inner wall. Attenuation in side walls is eliminated.
