The driving-point resistance undulates between ~00 and 300Ω from 200 GHz to 1 THz—much higher than the 72Ω value from Booker's modified formula, but quite beneficial for coupling to high-impedance broadband devices %K optical antennas %K square spiral antenna %K self complementary THz %K photomixing %K lens %K method of moments %K geometric optics %K physical optics %P 524-529
