| Summary: | —Advancement in technology has opened the doors
for the terahertz (THz) frequency range to be applied in
different fields for various applications. The future communication technology, especially 6G, will also intend to
utilize the THz frequency band due to its large bandwidth
that has the capabilities to achieve a high data rate. Great
losses are presented in the early research into terahertz
transmission medium. It is critical to design an appropriate
waveguide that can integrate the THz waves into the system
efficiently with minimum loss and provides the ease of
transmission of data and overcomes the free space loss
issues. Communication, sensing, and other application
parameters are highly affected by transmission losses;
therefore, low transmission loss and dispersion loss waveguide designs are required for proper utilization. In
this paper, the review on reduction in the transmission loss
in different types of waveguides operating at the Terahertz
frequency range is studied. The design and the experimental
setup for several classes of THz waveguides for minimizing
transmission loss are also discussed. The review study shows
that these waveguides can be a promising transmission
medium for future 6G communication. |
