Abstract

This paper presents a compact graphene-based multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna for wireless communications operating in frequency band (0.1-10) THz. This work has been performed with four ports microstrip antennas based on 37×88 μm² a silicon dioxide (Sio₂) substrate and copper on the ground layer, with high isolation by a series of unit cells of graphene selected between adjacent patches to reduce the transmission coefficient and antenna size. Graphene's chemical potential will change by changing the connected DC voltage, leading to bandwidth and resonant frequency variation. The simulation has a reflection coefficient is less than -10 dB at (4.5-10) THz of the frequency scale, mutual coupling (-15 dB), and the gain from (4.7-9) THz is (1.6-6.7254) dB. This paper aims to provide wideband, efficient and reconfigurable with simple graphene-based MIMO antenna for THz applications.

Abstract

In the future, 6G wireless communications will be integrated into various applications. It is expected that it will handle all Internet of Things services as well as satellite communications. Additionally, it is predicted to support machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). So this work investigated four orthogonal ports graphene-based multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna in the terahertz frequency regime. With wide-band (7.1-13) THz, minimum return loss close to -30 dB and a good isolation value. That was designed over silicon dioxide (Sio2) 100×100 substrate with a thickness of 10 µm and a maximum gain reaching 8.3 dB at 11 THz. By adjusting the provided DC voltage, the chemical potential of graphene can be tuned, which in turn allows for the MIMO antenna characteristics to be changed. Envelop correlation coefficient (ECC) and diversity gain (DG) were investigated for the presented design. In addition, these values were determined to assess compatibility and difficulties connected with communication over a short distance. The geometry of the MIMO antenna is adaptable to various applications in the THz band with highperformance requirements, such as sensing, scanning for security threats, biomedical applications, wireless communication systems with high speed built on the 6G standard, and the internet of things (IoT).
