METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING AND DETECTING CENTIMETRE, MILLIMETRE OR SUB- MILLIMETRE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES AND ESPECIALLY TERAHERTZ ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

摘要

A method for generating and detecting centimeter, submillimeter or millimeter electromagnetic waves, including the use of a single electronic device as generation source and as detector of the waves emitted from the source. A system for generating and detecting centimeter, submillimeter or millimeter electromagnetic waves, including an electronic device (1, 3) forming both a generation source and the detector of the waves emitted from the source. In one aspect, the electromagnetic waves are terahertz electromagnetic waves.
