Square-slotted THz metamaterial-inspired MIMO antenna design optimized with machine learning for TWPAN networks and next-generation communication systems
摘要
The growing demand for high-speed communication necessitates antennas operating at higher frequencies in the THz range with broad bandwidth, compact size and higher gain. In this research, we have proposed a compact THz antenna designed with metamaterial-inspired elements to achieve improved gain and wideband performance. This paper presents the design and performance analysis of a high-efficiency MIMO antenna system for terahertz (THz) communication applications. The proposed antenna is optimized to deliver robust diversity performance, low mutual coupling, and minimal channel degradation. The design is also optimized with machine learning, with the highest R2 value of 0.95. The optimized design gives 54 THz bandwidth and 7.6 dBi gain. The ECC remains well below 0.005, ensuring excellent isolation between elements. The TARC exhibits values below − 10 dB across the critical bandwidth, confirming low reflection under simultaneous port excitation. These results demonstrate the designed structure’s potential for integration into THz communication and THz Wireless Personal Area Network.
