Abstract

Photoconductive antennas are devices that provide power up to THz frequencies at a relatively low cost. However, the power radiated by each antenna is typically quite low and arrays have been proposed to increase it. In this paper we present the design of a leaky enhanced array architecture that surpasses the state of the art as it operates efficiently for frequencies up to 1THz, without excessive complications in the manufacturing. This architecture is compared with a ‘standard’ array, showing a broader bandwidth and a higher emitted detected signal.
