▎ 摘  要

In this article, we consider the radiation characteristics of a THz antenna made of a circular dielectric rod decorated with conformal graphene strip and illuminated by the field of a line magnetic current. The strip has arbitrary angular size and location and its surface impedance is characterized with Kubo theory. Our mathematically accurate analysis uses a dedicated hypersingular integral equation for the current induced on the strip. Discretization of this equation is carried out by the Nystrom-type method, which has a guaranteed convergence. We study the dependences of the powers radiated and absorbed in this configuration and also the directivity of antenna emission, in wide frequency range from 0 to 10 THz. They show very interesting interplay between the broadband inverse photonic-jet effect of lens-like dielectric rod and two types of resonances: on the moderate-Q plasmon modes of graphene strip and on the extremely high-Q whispering-gallery modes of the circular rod.
