We describe a THz spectrometer operating between 1.2 and 10.5 THz, consisting of band pass filters made with metasurfaces. The source is made of 10 W small black body. The detector is a high sensitivity room temperature pyroelectric sensor. Various techniques used to prepare samples are described. The spectra obtained are compared with those measured with a Fourier Transformer Infrared Spectrometer on the same samples. The instrument, using commercial technologies available at the present time, can constitute an economical alternative to very expensive spectrometers. It has already been successfully used, getting precise spectroscopic measures of many inorganic powders.
