摘要
THz antennas are gaining interest in many applications. In this article, we compared the performance of THz antennas made up of copper, graphene, and carbon nanotube in a view to choose a suitable material for effective THz antennas. Material properties of these possible materials are analyzed to justify the electromagnetic performance of antennas made out of these materials. A typical dipole antenna with 1THz resonant frequency is used as the candidate antenna to make the comparisons. The graphene antenna shows better electromagnetic performance with their counterparts.
