Abstract
In this paper, the performance of a graphene and graphene-copper hybrid patch antenna has been analyzed at terahertz range. The conductivity of graphene has been studied using Kubo's formula. Return loss, radiation pattern and gain of these antennas have been shown and analyzed. The graphene based antenna resonates at 4.5 THz whereas the hybrid antenna gives us a wide band of transmission from 1.25 THz to 8 THz with a directivity of more than 6 dB. Polyimide of $\in=3.5$ has been used as the substrate with a thickness of $2.5\mu{m}$. For terahertz communication a graphene-copper hybrid antenna has been proposed especially for wide-band applications.
