title: Two-wire waveguide for terahertz.
abstract: We present a rigorous theoretical analysis of the two-wire waveguide. Obtaining the attenuation constant in terms of the dimensions of the waveguide analytically, we show that the absorption coefficient can be less than 0.01 cm(-1), with the appropriate values of the dimensions.
