Abstract
In this paper a tunable antenna using graphene - based fractal shape artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is propose d for ultra - wideband (UWB) terahertz (THz) application. The resonance frequency of the proposed antenna can be tuned by varying the applied DC voltage which leads to variation in chemical potential of graphene. The antenna consists of a bowtie shaped patch mounted on 15x15 graphene patches based on new fractal shape AMC unit. It is observed that the resonance frequency and the bandwidth increase by increasing the applied voltage.
