Equivalent circuit analysis of terahertz metamaterial filters

An equivalent circuit model for the analysis and design of terahertz (THz) metamaterial filters is presented.The proposed model,derived based on LMC equivalent circuits,takes into account the detailed geometrical parameters and the presence of a dielectric substrate with the existing analytic expressions for self-inductance,mutual inductance,and capacitance.The model is in good agreement with the experimental measurements and full-wave simulations.Exploiting the circuit model has made it possible to predict accurately the resonance frequency of the proposed structures and thus,quick and accurate process of designing THz device from artificial metamaterials is offered.     

Analysis of terahertz waveguide modes in continuous wavelet domain

Conventional analytical methods in the wavelet domain are used to present an analysis of terahertz (THz) waveguide modes.To obtain THz radiation pulses passing through a waveguide,we build a simple experimental system with a 5-mm-long,230-μm-inner-diameter stainless steel waveguide.The single-mode guided signal from the experiments and the multi-mode signal of a similar THz waveguide reported in the literature are analyzed using the continuous wavelet transform (CWT).The results demonstrate that analyzing THz waveguide modes in the wavelet domain not only possesses all the functionality of the traditional THz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) data processing but also has the ability to unscramble quantitatively and intuitively detailed information about the target samples,such as mode type,cut-off frequency,amplitude distinction,and group velocity.
