In this communication, a graphene-based radiator is designed and analyzed at THz frequency. A tilted dumbbell-shaped aperture is loaded on a graphene patch for creating degenerated orthogonal mode with 90 0 phase shift, which in turn produces circularly polarized (CP) waves. Graphene patch is placed over SiO 2 substrate. Slot loading in graphene patch shifts the frequency band due to a reduction in effective permittivity. Another important feature of the proposed antenna is to provide a tunable feature in the frequency response and axial ratio by changing the chemical potential. The proposed antenna operates from 5.85 THz to 6.05 THz. 3-dB axial ratio is obtained from 5.85 THz to 5.95 THz. Good value of gain, as well as left-handed circular polarization characteristics, makes the proposed THz antenna in biomedical applications * Availability of data and materials: Not Applicable * Funding: No funds, grants, or other support was received.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
