▎ 摘  要

In this paper, a planar graphene-based bandstop filter is designed and simulated for the resonant frequency of 1 THz. The transmission line model of the bandstop filter is considered, which consists of open-circuited shunt stubs that are interconnected through unit elements. The bandstop filter design is carried out from the normalized low pass Chebyshev prototype. By using frequency transformation, Richard's transformation, and Kuroda's identity, the desired bandstop filter can be designed from the low pass prototype. The graphene layer is introduced between the conductor layer and the dielectric for supporting the propagation of plasmonic waves. The simulation results show that the desired frequency response can be obtained for the designed graphene-based bandstop filter. By varying the chemical potential of the graphene layer, the resonant frequency of the bandstop filter can be tuned over the range of 0.1 THz with the constant absolute bandwidth.
