In this paper, the launching of Airy beam in the terahertz region using waveguiding structures was proposed, designed and numerically characterized. By properly designing the waveguide slit width and the packing number in different sections of parallel-plate waveguides (PPWGs) array, arbitrary phase delay and lateral position-dependent amplitude transmission through the structure, required to realize the target Airy beam profile, can be easily fulfilled. Airy beams working at the frequency of 0.3 THz with good non-diffracting, self-bending, and self-healing features are demonstrated. This study represents a new alternative to scattering-based metasurface structures, and can be utilized in many modern applications.
