  • Abstract
    Double-band operation in the long backfire antenna (BFA) is revealed and examined numerically. The studied low-terahertz BFA radiates efficiently in two near-by frequency bands around 216 GHz and 236 GHz. At these resonant frequencies the BFA input gain is 19.9 dBi and 21.9 dBi, respectively.
