摘要
The effect of low- and high-kappa gate dielectrics and their thickness on tuning of graphene-loaded THz antennas are studied. According to our study, SiO2 provides higher tuning range for a resonance frequency as compared to Al2O3. For the particular antenna considered in this study, as thickness of SiO2 is decreased tuning range changed between 190 to 320 GHz. This amount for Al2O3 is 190 to 220 GHz. Based on our results, decreasing the thickness of SiO2 can increase the bandwidth more than 68 percent. Thickness variation of Al2O3 could enhance bandwidth around 17 percent. In both gate dielectrics, higher parallel resonance frequency is achieved by lower dielectric thickness.
