Folded Terahertz Antenna based on $MoS_{2}$ and Gold for Biomedical Imaging

This paper presents a hybrid antenna design for terahertz communication. The proposed antenna operates in the frequency range of 0.85–0.95 terahertz (THz). Full wave electromagnetic simulations show that combination of molybdenum disulfide $MoS_{2}$ material, and gold improves the antenna efficiency from around 60% to almost 85% in the desired frequency band. The proposed hybrid design can be used in high-resolution imaging and suitable for biomedical applications.
