Abstract

Graphene based circular microstrip patch antenna array is presented in this paper. First a single circular patch to resonate at 2.45 GHz is designed in HFSS, then 1 × 2 array and 1 × 4 array are developed in order to improve the gain. The designed patch and arrays are fabricated using copper and graphene and the antenna parameters are measured and compared. This research work mainly focuses on two things; one is to improve the gain by developing array and the other one is to develop graphene antenna array using a simple, low cost printing method. Both are achieved, as the gain is improved by ~ 5 dB for 1 × 4 array when compared to single patch and the graphene antenna is fabricated and tested for its performance and found to be working perfectly as antenna in ISM Band.
