Abstract
In this work, we present a novel wideband 2 × 2 terahertz (THz) antenna array for MIMO applications, featuring a compact footprint of 300 × 490 × 50 µm³ on a silicon substrate with a dielectric constant of 11.9. The proposed design incorporates circular split-ring resonators (CSRRs) and radiating slots etched in a unique "sun-shaped" radiating layer, achieving broad bandwidth and efficient radiation characteristics. The two MIMO elements are positioned side-by-side to optimize data transmission and isolation. The antenna demonstrates a wide operational bandwidth from 1.76 THz to 5.07 THz, with a gain exceeding 9 dBi across this range. Key performance metrics include an envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of -0.08 dB and a diversity gain of 9.92 dB at 3.16 THz, indicating strong MIMO performance and minimal mutual coupling. The reflection (S11) and transmission (S21) parameters are better than -40 dB, further confirming excellent impedance matching and inter-element isolation. Additionally, the channel capacity loss remains under 0.4 bps/Hz, ensuring efficient data throughput. The proposed sun-shaped MIMO THz antenna offers promising potential for high-speed, reliable wireless communication applications in the terahertz domain.
