  • Abstract
    A TEM horn antenna is integrated with a uni-travelling-carrier photodiode. Its radiation pattern is measured from 280 to 540 GHz thanks to a 1.55 μm photomixing set-up and a sub-harmonic mixer. The direction the main lobe shifts to a lower incidence when the frequency is increased.
