The present disclosure provides a GaAs monolithic integrated terahertz low-noise communication system transceiver front-end, including an intermediate frequency circuit and a terahertz circuit. The terahertz circuit includes a local oscillator frequency tripler, a local oscillator unidirectional 3 dB filter coupler, a radio frequency 180° filter coupler, and two terahertz GaAs monolithic integrated subharmonic mixers. The local oscillator unidirectional 3 dB filter coupler and the radio frequency 180° filter coupler each include one ring-cylindrical resonant cavity and four rectangular waveguides. The ring-cylindrical resonant cavity is divided into four rectangular waveguides which are correspondingly connected to the four sector-annular resonant cavities, respectively. The present disclosure suppresses the local oscillator noise by adopting a local oscillator unidirectional 3 dB filter coupler and a radio frequency 180° filter coupler with both coupling and filtering functions, thereby achieving a low local oscillator noise transceiver front-end.

A terahertz full-duplex co-local oscillator solid-state front-end transmitting circuit is disclosed, which belongs to the technical field of terahertz communication. The overall structure of the solid-state front-end transmitting circuit adopts a new system, wherein the circuit comprises two branches that are parallel and driven by a local oscillator source. A branched waveguide directional coupler is configured to output two driving signals provided by the same local oscillator source respectively to two branch circuits with required powers. Two transmission signals generated from the two branches are combined into one signal for transmission through an orthogonal mode coupled duplexer, so as to fulfill the construction of a full-duplex co-local oscillator solid-state front-end transmission circuit.
