Terahertz (THz) radiation, which has applications in the imaging of objects, non-destructive testing, satellite communication, medical diagnostics, and biosensing, has generated a great deal of attention due to its remarkable properties. This paper proposes a novel broadband filter for THz applications. The main idea is to overcome the insertion loss and bandwidth issues by modeling a frequency-domain finite difference method and guided-mode resonance (GMR). The optimal design scheme of the wideband pass filter based on the circular resonant ring is discussed by comparing the transmission parameters under various parameters. This scheme overcomes the restriction of the narrow passband bandwidth of the prior THz filters and achieves approximately 3 dB bandwidth of 0.54 THz. The proposed THz filter paper also has the advantages of a straightforward structure, low processing costs, and ease of conformal with other structures, and it can be used for stealth fighters, new communication technology, and precise instruments. In addition, when compared to existing models, the suggested filter offers higher 3 dB BW operation, increased transmittance, low insertion loss, and stable performance at various oblique angles.
