Polyimide Substrate based Compact Antenna for Terahertz Wireless Communication Applications

This work proposes a square shaped compact patch antenna with microstrip feed line, supporting the terahertz (THz) communication applications. The geometry proposed in this work is realized using polyimide substrate, whereas the conducting material used for the patch is Gold metal. The presented antenna with overall substrate dimensions of 300 x 300 µm
