  • Abstract
    A fully integrated THz detection system consisting of an on chip dipole antenna, a plasmonic detector, and a wide band amplifier in 130 nm AlGaAs/InGaAs pHEMT technology is reported. The fabricated chip achieves an absolute responsivity of 3 V/W, while maintaining a 50 dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) over a modulation bandwidth of 8.5 GHz at ~ 0.3 THz.
