Introduction to Terahertz Electronics (eBook)

This book provides a practical guide to terahertz electronics, especially for readers with an electronics background. The author guides readers through the all the key concepts of terahertz electronics, including terahertz sources, detectors, and waveguides, together with reviews on key terahertz applications on spectroscopy, imaging, communication, and radar. This book will serve as a handy reference for graduate students and engineers in the field of terahertz with a viewpoint from electronics.

Jae-Sung Rieh received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electronics engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, in 1991 and 1995, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, in 1999. In 1999, he joined IBM Semiconductor R & D Center, where he was responsible for the development of high frequency SiGe HBT technologies. Since 2004, he has been with the School of Electrical Engineering, Korea University, Seoul, Korea, where he is currently a Professor. In 2012, he spent his first sabbatical at Submillimeter Wave Advanced Technology team (SWAT) in JPL, Pasadena, USA, which greatly promoted his interest in the THz research. For another sabbatical year spread over the 2018-2019 period, he was with High Speed Electronics Lab (HSEL) in UCLA, Los Angeles, USA. His major research interest lies in the mm-wave and terahertz devices and circuits.

Prof. Rieh was a recipient of IBM Faculty Award (2004) and two-time co-recipients of IEEE EDS George E. Smith Awards (2002 and 2006). He was also co-awarded IEEE Microwave and Wireless Component Letters Tatsuo Itoh Best Paper Award (2013). He has served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (2006-2009) and the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (2010-2013). He is a Fellow of IEEE.
