Preface

This book is based on the materials I prepared for a graduate-school-level course I have taught for several years in Korea University. The course was designed to provide the required knowledges for the students in the School of Electrical Engineering who are working on research topics around the THz electronics. For them, who are mostly involved in developing circuits and systems operating at frequencies beyond 100 GHz, quite a wide range of information and knowledge are on demand. They need high-frequency circuit design techniques combined with knowledges on microwave theories and device physics for their chip design. When chips are ready, they have to characterize and carry out experiments with them, definitely not a trivial task, for which the students are required to understand the propagation of THz beams in free space and waveguides. Often, they need to compare their results to or borrow ideas from THz vacuum electronic devices and optics-based THz components and systems. Also, they are expected to understand the basics of the application fields, such as spectroscopy, imaging, broadband communication, and radar, depending on their specific research topics. To prepare for the one-semester course that satisfies these needs, I had to
