| Abstract | Nanonntennas are critical elements of nanoscale wireless communication technologies with potential to overcome some of the limitations of on-chip interconnects. In this paper, we model the optical response of graphene-based nanoantennas (GNAs) using an equivalent resistive-inductive-capacitive (RLC) circuit by incorporating plasmonic effects that are present in graphene at terahertz (THz) frequencies. The equivalent circuit model is used to estimate the resonance characteristics of the nanoantenna, thereby facilitating geometry and material optimization. Three GNA structures are considered, namely bowtie, circular, and rectangular dimers with vacuum and silicon dioxide dielectric environment. We characterize the radiation efficiency, the Purcell factor, the quality factor, and the resonant frequency of various antennas with respect to the physical properties of the surrounding dielectric media and the graphene sheet. The GNAs are designed for a resonant frequency in the range of 10 - 25 THz with field enhancements around $10^{4}$ - $10^{5}$ and radiation efficiency ~5 - 16%. The circuit model is applied to examine the trade-off between the radiation efficiency and the field enhancement in the antenna gap. While bowtie antennas have higher field enhancement due to charge accumulation in their pointed structure, they suffer from low radiation efficiency stemming from the large spreading resistance losses. The circuit model is validated against finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations conducted in Lumerical, and excellent match between the model and numerical results is demonstrated in the THz regime. The circuit models can be readily used in a hierarchical circuit simulator to design and optimize optical nanoantennas for THz communication in high-performance computing systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
