Abstract

This paper presents the design and simulation of a power splitter based on graphene in the terahertz frequency regime. The symmetric and asymmetric T-junction models have been presented and analyzed. The graphene-based power divider finds applications in the design of graphene-based terahertz integrated circuits like diplexer, multiplexer, etc. required for terahertz communication. One of the applications of power divider discussed in the paper is in the design of dipatch antenna. Their properties have been analyzed with the help of full-wave simulations. These graphene-based nanoantennas radiate electromagnetic waves in the terahertz frequency band. These results will enable and promote ongoing research in the realm of nanoscale terahertz wireless communications.
