The radar is based on a similar principle of interaction between an optical signal and a photoconductive antenna. This can be achieved with the help of micro-processing of optical fibers and controlling laser diodes. In the research project, we proposed a special method for controlling the laser diode, which will allow changing the frequency of the THz signal and thereby affecting the shape of the output signal, which is needed for implementing a THz radar with an artificial aperture. In this work, we explored ways to generate a chirp signal using a laser and a laser diode and observed the shape of the received signal on the receiving photoconductive antennas. Here, we will propose an antenna design by creating an antenna array in the THz range, for the purpose of signal generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We used a deep neural network to classify materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B.
