THz ANTENNA ARRAY, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A THz ANTENNA ARRAY

摘要

The invention relates to a THz antenna array (20, 30, 40, 50) comprising a plurality of THz antennae (29, 39, 49, 49', 49' '), a THz antenna (29, 39, 49, 49', 49' ') having a photoconductive region (22, 32, 42) and a first electrode (21A, 21B, 31A, 31B, 41A, 41B) and a second electrode (21B, 31B) which are arranged interspaced from each other via a spacer region (24, 34, 44) that extends laterally across at least a part of the photoconductive region (22, 32, 42). In order to simplify a structure of the aforementioned type and facilitate its production, a lateral region (25, 35, 45) between adjacent THz antennae (29, 39, 49, 49', 49' ') of the array (20, 30, 40) is not photoconductive, especially is free from photoconductive material.
