Abstract
The rapid progress in semiconductor technology has vastly boosted the development of terahertz sources and receivers in terms of compactness, reliability, operation frequency, and output power. In this manuscript, we report on the latest achievements in terahertz sources and receivers and provide a comprehensive overview of their working principles and applications in THz systems.
