Some recent results of the developments dielectric waveguide – based elements and set up performance are summarized in application to the technology of medical diagnostics in terahertz frequency range. The opportunity of new electromagnetic wave oscillators and receivers design is offered for the investigation of biological material properties, using the electromagnetic wave reflection measurements (reflectometry).
