Abstract

The growing demand for advanced wireless communication, high-resolution imaging, and innovative medical applications in the Terahertz (THz) frequency range has driven remarkable developments in meta-surface-based antennas. This comprehensive review delves into the cutting-edge advancements, novel designs, and practical applications of meta-surfaces in the THz spectrum. The review begins by exploring the materials employed in meta-surfaces and their crucial role in achieving efficient THz operation. It delves into the realm of polarization diversity, revealing innovative approaches to harnessing the potential of meta-surfaces for polarization control and conversion. A key area of focus is beam-steering technology, with a thorough investigation into beam-steering techniques that have significant implications for enhancing wireless communication, high-resolution imaging, and the internet of things. The paper highlights the potential of these techniques in addressing real-world challenges and advancing THz technology. Furthermore, this review provides an in-depth examination of the innovative antenna designs tailored for THz applications, shedding light on their characteristics and benefits. It also explores the exciting possibilities of THz technology within the medical field, including precise bio sensing and cancer cell detection.
