This research presents an innovative dual-band microstrip patch antenna featuring a rectangular slot, meticulously crafted through the utilization of the Wave Concept Iterative Procedure (WCIP) specifically tailored for terahertz frequency applications. The antenna is distinguished by its resonance frequencies observed at 19.1 THz and 28.35 THz, each exhibiting considerable bandwidths of 2.15 THz and 2.10 THz, respectively. The application of WCIP has enabled the precise characterization of current distribution patterns and electric field intensities, resulting in the optimization of key parameters such as impedance, admittance, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), and return loss profiles. Consequently, the finalized antenna design not only meets the rigorous demands imposed by terahertz communication systems but also capitalizes on the inherent compact nature of the microstrip patch configuration to deliver expanded bandwidth capabilities and robust dual-band functionality. These inherent characteristics collectively establish the proposed antenna as a strategically advantageous solution for the progression of high-frequency communication technologies.
