Abstract: 

Subject and purpose. One of the main problems arising in the implementation of the terahertz range is associated with the need to provide the advanced equipment developed in this frequency band with effective electronic components.

Methods and methodology. This paper provides a comparative analysis of the characteristics of the terahertz range components, based on the solid-state elements and waveguide electrodynamic structures.

Results. The features of design solutions in the process of creating semiconductor components and devices, such as oscillators, amplifiers, frequency multipliers, power meters, transmission lines, and devices for modulating electromagnetic waves using p–i–n-structures, are shown. The main directions of the practical application of apparatus and equipment of the terahertz range are considered.

Conclusions. The attractiveness of the terahertz range to create high-speed communication systems, high-resolution radar, radio vision systems, remote identification devices of substances, and other special and civil engineering, is shown. The provided data indicate the potential capabilities of leading Ukrainian enterprises in solving the problems of mastering the terahertz frequency interval.
Keywords: amplifier, detector, oscillator, radio vision, terahertz band, transmission line, р–i–n-modulator
