Abstract

Design and numerical simulations indicate the presented quasi-optical (QO) reflective circulator topology is a promising topology for next generation, ultrawideband terahertz systems. A side-by-side comparison between the reported 'state-of-the-art' waveguide technology versus the QO reflective circulator show significantly improved insertion loss and over two orders of magnitude improvement in power handling capability.
