Abstract:
The invention relates to a terahertz measuring device ( 1 ) for measuring a test object ( 7 ), comprising: a THz transmitter and receiver unit ( 2 ) for emitting terahertz radiation ( 3 ) at a spatial angle of emittance ( 4 ) along an optical axis (A), receiving reflected terahertz radiation ( 8 ) and generating a signal amplitude (S) as a function of the time or frequency (t, f), and a controller and evaluator device ( 12 ) for receiving and evaluating the signal amplitude (S).   Hereby, the controller and evaluator device ( 12 ) determines defects ( 10, 110 ) of the test object ( 7 ) from the signal amplitude (S). In particular, it is possible to mask a core area ( 4 a ) of the emitted terahertz radiation ( 3 ). An alternative measuring arrangement can reveal defects also by injecting the THz radiation at a right angle in that additional measuring peaks are detected which cannot be associated with the layer thickness measurement as such.

Claim (Index 14):
The terahertz measuring device ( 1 ,  101 ,  201 ,  301 ,  401 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the THz transmitter and receiver unit ( 2 ) comprises terahertz radiation ( 3 ) within a frequency range of 10 GHz to 10 THz, in particular 100 GHz to 3 THz, in particular fully electronically with a transmitter dipole and a receiver dipole.
