摘要

The design and investigation of a two-terminal dielectric radiator fed by circular aperture and operating in the terahertz frequency range are presented in this study. Three significant advances are provided by the proposed antenna: (a) a tilted H-shaped slot allows circular polarization in the range of 5.7–6.3 THz; (b) a defected ground structure with polarization diversity boosts inter-port isolation to over 30 dB; and (c) integration of a metasurface-based corner reflector between the terminals adds a ±30° far-field beam tilt, which improves pattern diversity. Additionally, to provide overall design frequency agility, a thin layer of graphene is deposited on top of the silicon dielectric. The antenna functions efficiently between 4.8 THz and 6.7 THz, with consistent far-field and multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) performance throughout the band, according to findings from HFSS/CST simulation. These results confirm that the proposed radiator is a good candidate for next-generation radio transmission in the terahertz frequency band.
