Annotation: One of the tendencies of modern electronics is the developing of terahertz frequency range, which occupies an intermediate position between the well-studied microwave and optical spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. The number of fundamental and applied research on this topic dramatically increased in recent years. In this work we briefly analyze the condition of electronic and component base, the main directions of use and metrological providing terahertz equipment. In the review where used domestic and foreign sources of information, most of which have been published in the last decade.
