Abstract
We propose a THz communication system using the combination of high-gain antennas and an amplifier chain. A Cassegrain antenna used as a high-gain antenna enhances a link gain with an antenna gain of 40 dBi or more. Finally, an effective isotropic radiated power is achieved more than 40 dBm. The proof-of-concept demonstration is performed for the realization of THz point-to-point communication systems with moderate spectral efficiency.
