It is a CP omni-directional antenna operating at 28 GHz for mobile terminals. The antenna combines a vertical electric monopole element with four magnetic elements to coherently excite parallel electric and magnetic dipoles. This combination generates the omni-directional CP radiation. The overlapping −10-dB impedance and 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is from 27 to 28.5 GHz, which covers the 28 GHz frequency band proposed for 5G mobile cellular networks (i.e., from 27.5 to 28.35 GHz). The antenna has an omni-directional radiation pattern at 28 GHz whose peak realized RHCP gain is 2.08 dBic and whose 3-dB AR beamwidth is wide, from elevation angles 3° to 136°. Mass production of the antenna is possible by PCB manufacturing technologies. The overall size is 3.44 mm × 3.44 mm × 1 mm (ka = 1.1017).

More specifically, I will introduce a new generation of optically driven terahertz sources and detectors that offer three orders of magnitude higher terahertz radiation power levels and two orders of magnitude higher terahertz detection sensitivity levels compared to the existing technologies. This leap-frog performance enhancement is achieved by funneling the laser light through specifically engineered metallic nanostructures into the device active area, enhancing light matter interaction at nanoscale.
