This session highlights recent advances in sub-THz and THz circuits and components, spanning signal generation, frequency translation, reception, and waveguide technologies. The five papers cover a 312 GHz low-voltage push-push oscillator in GaAs pHEMT technology, a broadband CMOS frequency doubler with high fundamental suppression, and a sub-milliwatt receiver MMIC achieving low noise across a wide bandwidth. Complementing these active circuits are innovations in THz signal routing and multiplication, including metallized 3D-printed 1-THz hollow waveguide components and a 480–530 GHz balanced frequency quadrupler based on Schottky-varactor diodes integrated on a micromachined silicon membrane.
