研究目的
Investigating the use of a metamaterial antenna on an electro-optic modulator for wireless terra-hertz detection through radio-over-fibre technology.
研究成果
The proposed conversion device from wireless terra-hertz to light-wave using metamaterial antenna on EO modulator was successfully demonstrated. The device has a compact and simple structure, passive operation, and low terra-hertz loss, making it promising for future high-speed wireless communication and extremely low loss electromagnetic compatibility measurement using ROF technology.
研究不足
The main drawback of the wireless terra-hertz is large propagation loss in air. The conversion efficiency or sensitivity can be improved by considering longer interaction length of terra-hertz wave and light-wave electric fields.
