Abstract

The terahertz filtering behavior of quasi-periodic waveguide based Fibonacci sequence is investigated by finite element research method. The long-range order of quasi-periodic waveguide has achieved the functions of band-stop and narrow band filter. The waveguide generation can directly influence the number of bandgaps. Periodic processing can enable low generation waveguides to have the band-stop filtering function, too. The length ratio can be used to regulate the number of forbidden bands, operating frequency and bandwidth. The maximum bandwidth of a single bandgap is 192 GHz. The total operating frequency of a single waveguide can reach up to 281 GHz. The 8th generation waveguide also realizes narrow band filtering function with a bandwidth of 14 GHz. Quasi-periodic waveguides can provide new ideas for the design of terahertz filters.
