  • Abstract
    Sub-mm/THz monolithic circuit components made of layered dielectric waveguide are characterized using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique. The use of FDTD analysis allows for the characterization of these components in a very wide frequency range. Numerical results for a sub-mm wave distributed directional coupler are presented and compared to the response of an ideal coupler.<>
