The efficient stimulation of a graphene microstrip plasmoni splitter via higher-order mode propagation is proposed in the current work. Initially, graphene waveguiding systems are investigated thoroughly in terms of the supported propagating modes and their potential excitation. Specifically, the microstrip apparatus is examined focusing on the distribution of bulk modes. This analysis indicates that the transition of a higher-order mode to a lower one is potentially smooth if an appropriately selected microstrip width is utilized. Consequently, an effective graphene plasmonic device is designed and stimulated via a higher-order bulk mode that equally splits the propagating surface wave to separated microstrips. The latter supports a lower-order mode and it is evaluated that the undesired back-reflected waves are minimized. Moreover, a thorough performance analysis is numerically conducted by means of a flexible Finite-Difference Time-Domain algorithm validating the remarkable functionality at a wide frequency range.
