N2 - This paper presents systematical design, modeling and simulation of an antenna-coupled image-reject high-temperature superconducting (HTS) receiver for terahertz (THz) wireless communication applications. The receiver features an innovative quasi-optical quadrature RF hybrid design comprised of a meta-surface based circular polarizer and a dual-polarized integrated lens antenna fed by two HTS Josephson junctions. Besides, a fully monolithic HTS receiver circuit including on-chip bias tees and quadrature IF hybrid networks, is designed for combining the frequency down-converted signals from the junctions. Detailed numerical modelling and simulations are carried out for optimizing the electromagnetic designs as well as verifying the concept and performance of our presented image-reject HTS THz receiver. The receiver will find huge potential in THz wireless communication systems.
