Simulation of Terahertz Broadband Antennas for Rectenna Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we designed and simulated several self-complimentary broadband antennas for the use in rectenna applications at terahertz frequencies. Rectenna that consists of two-terminal planar nanodiode such as self-switching diode is considered as a requirement in designing the broadband antennas. Antenna’s performance is then compared in terms of its return loss, gain, directivity and radiation efficiency.
