This paper investigates the electromagnetic radiation characteristics of a metallic,large aspect ratio single walled carbon nanotube antenna in the terahertz frequency region below 12.5 THz.The key features of terahertz pulse have been revealed on the carbon nanotube antenna in comparison with conventional photoconductive switching.The terahertz waveforms,radiation power and their field distributions have been evaluated and are analysed.The Fourier transformed spectra over the whole frequency range demonstrate that the carbon nanotube antenna can be used as radiation source for broadband terahertz applications.
