A review on applications of integrated terahertz systems

Abstract: A review on Terahertz end-to-end systems with an emphasis on integrated approaches is presented. Four major catalogs of THz integrated systems, including THz communication systems, THz imaging systems, THz radars, and THz spectroscopy systems, are reviewed in this article. The performance of integrated systems is compared with non-integrated solutions, followed by a discussion on the trend in future research avenues and applications.

“…Nevertheless, the appealing bandwidth also comes at a price of increased path loss and reduced penetration capability, which significantly curbs the communication range and power efficiency of THz communication systems. Based upon the Friss equation, the path loss of a 140 GHz THz link is around 10-40 dB higher than the mmWave counterpart due to the reduction in wavelength and an increase in water absorption [4] . A common solution to this problem is to boost the directivity of the beam by creating spatially concentrated radiation.…”

“…The traditional THz integrated circuit unit is usually processed and realized by III‐V compound semiconductor technology, which can achieve excellent radio frequency (RF) performance, but its cost is relatively high. In addition, due to the characteristics of compound semiconductor technology, it cannot inherit large‐scale analog and digital circuits, and therefore cannot effectively utilize the advantages of the chip [ 13 ] .…”

“…Its wireless coverage performance and transmission time delay, system security and user experience will also be significantly improved [11] . Compared with the microwave frequency band and the millimeter wave low frequency band, the THz frequency band provides a broad spectrum resource space for wireless communication research, has a huge transmission bandwidth and transmission rate, and has become a research hot spot in future mobile communications [12] .…”
