Abstract
Due to their low energetic photons and lack of ionization damage, terahertz (THz) waves are recognized as suitable for various wireless innovative applications with high-speed data rates. This paper proposes the design and analysis of a microstrip patch antenna based on a dual-ply hexagonal split ring resonator (HSRR). The suggested antenna resonates at 1.9 THz and is suitable for recent advancements in wireless communication. Furthermore, the HSRR structure has been investigated for various spacing Rs values between the rings, and the optimized HSRR structure performance is compared with conventional antennae. The computer simulation technology studio suite was used to model the planned HSRR and to study the antenna properties. The optimized HSRR structure produces − 47.09 dB return loss with a voltage standing wave ratio of 1.008. The structure exhibits a gain of 8.649 dB and a directivity of 8.696 dB at 1.992 THz. THz light's capability to react differently with innocuous and threatening materials as a function of the THz band provides a highly flexible base for spectroscopic THz scanning and security checks. This suggested HSRR antenna is appropriate for all THz applications with high-speed data rates, such as wireless satellite communication, the biomedical detection of malignant tissue, THz imaging, and spectrometers.
