Abstract

The invention discloses a hemispheric lens matrix terahertz wave source with a novel material structure. An RTO matrix consisting of a plurality of RTO emitting units is arranged on the lower surface of a hemispheric lens and is positioned in the center of the lower surface of the hemispheric lens. The RTO matrix is a matrix consisting of 2*2-32*32 RTO emitting units. The width of a waveguide formed by the hemispheric lens matrix terahertz wave source with the novel material structure is different from that of an oscillator, and therefore a standing wave is formed between the oscillator and the waveguide. An RTD is connected with an upper electrode of the oscillator through a heat sink, and meanwhile, by changing the position of the RTD in the oscillator, oscillation of the oscillator in different frequency bands can be achieved. Due to the fact that the waveguide transmits a high-frequency electromagnetic wave and the loss is extremely low, a terahertz wave passes through the waveguide, then enters a slot antenna or a rectangular micro-strip patch antenna and is emitted finally, so that horizontal or vertical communication between chips is achieved. Under the current process conditions, the process difficulty does not need to be increased, and the power of RTO can be improved by more than ten times to few ten times.
