Abstract
This paper presents a novel terahertz (THz) antenna array design comprising a layered structure of a perovskite material which enhances the radiation characteristics of an antenna overlaid on a conventional metallic antenna element. The simulated antenna consists of a THz gold patch antenna coated with a hybrid perovskite material, methyl-ammonium lead iodide CH3NH3PbI3 which enables the manipulation of the THz electromagnetic waves. In addition to this, we also present a comparison of the antenna properties of the proposed hybrid perovskite material with antennas made of gold and perovskite only. The proposed antenna operates in the frequency band 0.9 -1.2 THz. The simulated impedance bandwidth of the proposed array antenna ranges from 0.9 THz to 1.2 THz with a reflection coefficient (S11) less than -10 dB. The antenna array has a radiation patterns stability on the whole frequency band. The peak gain obtained is 11.4 dBi with perovskite arrays. The hybrid and perovskite antenna array demonstrate high radiation efficiency. The designs presented here will help in realising future wireless communication systems that require miniaturisation, fast reconfigurability and wearability.
