Abstract :
Dielectric reflectarray antennas are proposed as a possible low-loss solution for high gain THz antennas. A 3-D printing technology is utilized to fabricate the antenna, and numerical and experimental results are presented for a prototype operating at 100 GHz. This study shows that the proposed design approach is well suited for high gain THz antennas.
