  • Abstract
    Addresses the prospects for terahertz technology in the context of satisfying the requirements for future communication systems and considers circuits and devices suitable for operation in this frequency regime. It examines the state-of-the-art in semiconductor device technology for terahertz applications and the prospects for monolithic integrated circuit technology at frequencies above 100 GHz. The author mentions the application to wireless LANs in particular
