Abstract
The paper is devoted to elaboration of the theoretical and experimental basis, methods and recommendations aimed at the development of a new trend in the experimental radio physics – physical quasi-optical waveguide modeling (QWM) of the processes of electromagnetic scattering in the near millimeter (NMM) and submillimeter (SMM) wavelength ranges. The methods of experimental research of the electromagnetic scattering processes in the quasi-optical (QO) directional structures of a «hollow dielectric waveguide» (HDW) class have been developed and generalized. The basis for development of the radio measurement facilities used for physical electromagnetic modeling (EMM) of the object’s scattering characteristics in the NMM and SMM wavelength bands has been elaborated.

KEY WORDS: terahertz range, quasioptics, quasioptical waveguide modeling method, microcompact scattering range
