U-Shaped Terahertz Microstrip Patch Antenna for 6G Future Communications

In this article a terahertz antenna has been proposed which is designed on Rogers RO3010 substrate, with a standard thickness $10\mu\mathrm{m}$ having relative dielectric constant ($\mathcal{E r}$) $=11.2$ and thermal conductivity of $0.66\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{K}/\mathrm{m}$. A dielectric material with a high epsilon value is used, the effective wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is reduced within the material, resulting in a reduction of the physical size of the antenna. The designed antenna is compact light weight and is fed using a microstrip line feeding technique which provides ease of integration inside the device. The resonating frequency of the designed antenna is 0.854THz with a return loss $-19.5\mathrm{~dB}$ offering a high bandwidth of 44GHz. High bandwidth application of the future communication requirements is achieved by the modelled antenna.
