A THz modulator based on graphene is proposed and analyzed by use of equivalent transmission line of a homogeneous medium and the local anisotropic model of the graphene conductivity. The result calculated by the equivalent circuit is consistent with that obtained by Fresnel transfer matrices. For the modulator proposed here, when the frequency of carrier wave is 0.6THz, the theoretical analysis indicates that the modulation bandwidth is 55.5 kHz and the modulation depth is 81.3% for voltage change from 0V to 50V.
