Size Scaling-Rule for the Broadband Radiation Characteristics of Finite-Sized Self-Complementary Bow-Tie Antennas Integrated with Semiconductor Mesas

抄録

We investigate a finite-sized self-complementary bow-tie antenna (SC-BTA) integrated with a semiconductor mesa with respect to radiation characteristics such as the peak radiation frequency and bandwidth around the fundamental radiation mode. For this investigation, we utilize an equivalent circuit model of the SC-BTA derived in our previous work and a finite element method solver. Moreover, we derive design guidelines for the radiation characteristics in the form of size scaling-rules with respect to the antenna outer size for a terahertz transmitter.
