Abstract

We explore the use of a class of metasurface (MTS), which consists of metalized cylinders arranged in a square lattice and placed on a ground plane, for the realization of antennas at terahertz (THz) frequencies. This MTS is particularly appropriate for being micromachined out of a silicon wafer by means of deep reactive ion etching (DRIE).
