Abstract

Terahertz waves that have existed since the creation of the cosmos, have played an important and significant role in advancement and innovation in modern scientific and industrial technologies. Among the various methods used to generate THz waves, backward-wave oscillator-based method as a compact and tunable broadband, high spectral density method has many great advantages. In this work, we have focused our attention on parallel processing and parallel analytical optimizing of formulas which govern the structure of a corrugated rectangular waveguide (CgRWG) based on the principles of backward-wave oscillator for terahertz communication bands. At the end, we simulated two structures based on our analytical conclusions. The final parallel optimized structure radiated in the wide range of 0.158-0.530 THz with about 1.12W average power, which nominates it as a good candidate to employ in terahertz tropospheric communication.
