    Abstract: The present invention is the sub-carrier modulated terahertz radar that modulates a main-carrier signal in the terahertz frequency band, which is generated from a resonant tunneling diode (RTD), by a sub-carrier signal in a gigahertz frequency band whose frequency varies periodically, irradiates a frequency-modulated irradiation light to a target, detects and demodulates a reflected light from the target, mixes a demodulated signal with the sub-carrier signal, performs a Fourier transform on a mixed signal, and measures a distance from an irradiation position to the target by using a Fourier-transformed frequency signal.

    Abstract: A small-size high-power terahertz oscillator achieves a stable oscillation in a terahertz frequency band even at room temperature. The high-power terahertz oscillator has a structure in which a bow-tie antenna is disposed on a substrate, a cavity resonator, which includes two cavities, is disposed at a power supply portion of the bow-tie antenna, and a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) is disposed along a bottom of a wall of the cavity resonator, which defines the two cavities, and stably oscillates waves in the terahertz frequency band at room temperature by using the RTD, the bow-tie antenna and the cavity resonator.
