Abstract:
Recently, the research on graphene based
microstrip patch antennas have made great progress.
Hence a comparative study of copper and graphene
based rectangular microstrip fed patch antennas is
presented in this paper. Both single and 2×2 array
microstrip patch antennas are designed. The considered
performance parameters of the designed antenna are
return loss, VSWR, bandwidth, gain, and directivity at a
targeted resonance frequency of 2.45 GHz. Based on the
results and analysis, it is noted that the graphene based
single rectangular patch antenna shows higher
performance than the copper based single rectangular
patch antenna. And also graphene based 2×2 patch
antenna array gives improved return loss, VSWR,
bandwidth and gain than the copper based 2×2 patch
antenna array.
