The rapid growth of nanotechnology has led to the development of many devices with advanced characteristics such as high frequencies Gunn diodes, transistors, nano-antennas etc. Nano-antenna applications are numerous and encompass a variety of fields such as broadband communications, imaging, sensing, energy harvesting, and disease diagnosis. In this research paper, A novel T-shaped nano-antenna was designed and its resonant frequency was analysed. Moreover, parametric investigation had been performed to figure out the effects of T-shaped nano-antenna on Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) material. The momentum model in Advanced Design System (ADS) software was used to simulate the novel T-shaped nano-antenna and the results were directly compared to other nano-antennas. Initial results suggests that the T-shaped nano-antenna had a higher bandwidth and smaller geometrical size when compared to the other nano-antenna at Terahertz frequency.
