Abstract
This chapter mainly introduces the generation and detection of terahertz signal in terahertz communication system. The frequency of terahertz signal is high, so the generation of stable, continuous and low-cost high-quality signal has become one of the bottlenecks for further development and commercialization of terahertz communication. Meanwhile, high-sensitivity terahertz receivers and advanced digital signal processing algorithms are also needed to ensure the quality of communication system at the receiver end. Therefore, this chapter introduces the main ways to generate and detect terahertz signal.
