We proposed the numerical investigation of Hilbert-shaped multiple-input multi-output (MIMO) with multi-band operation characteristics using graphene resonator material, which operates on the band of 1 to 30 THz of the frequency range. This numerical investigation of antenna structure was carried out for the multiple antenna types, consisting of graphene as a regular patch, Hilbert order 1, and Hilbert order 2 designs. This antenna is investigated for the multiple physical parameters, such as return loss, gain, bandwidth, radiation response, Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC), Total Active Reflection Coefficient (TARC), Mean Effective Gain (MEG), Directivity Gain (DG), and Channel Capacity Loss (CCL). These variables are also determined to verify compatibility and the difficulties connected with communicating over a short distance. The THz MIMO antenna that was recommended offers strong isolation values in addition to an operational band. The maximum gain of ~10 dBi for the band of <15 THz and ~17 dBi for the band of the >15 THz frequency range of the proposed antenna structures. The proposed antennas are primarily operated in three bands over 1 to 30 THz of frequency. This work aims to create a brand new terahertz antenna structure capable of providing an extraordinarily wider bandwidth and high gain while keeping a typical compact antenna size suited for terahertz applications.
