Design and Analysis of Plasmonic Antenna for Nanoscale Wireless Applications

Abstract

Abstract The paper demonstrates design and analysis of plasmonic antenna for nanoscale wireless links. A surface plasmon polarities (SPP’s) based Hybrid Metal Insulator Metal (HMIM) based circular nano patch antenna for optical frequencies are designed and analysed using commercially available CST Microwave studio suite. The proposed circular patch antenna operated in the optical frequency band of 225 THz to 245 THz with a bandwidth of 20 THz. The overall size of the optical antenna is 1500 x 1000 nm2. The proposed antenna is very much useful in chip scale applications, interconnects and optical sensing applications.
