Impact of Graphene Thickness on EM Modelling of Antenna

Abstract

This paper presents illustrative electromagnetic modelling and simulation of graphene antenna using a two-dimensional graphene sheet of zero thickness and a three-dimensional graphene slab of finite thickness. The properties of the antenna are analyzed in terms of the S11 parameter, input impedance, VSWR, radiation pattern, and frequency reconfiguration using the full-wave electromagnetic simulator. Furthermore, this work numerically studies the modelling of graphene antenna using a three-dimensional graphene thin slab and the impact of graphene slab thickness on the performance of graphene antenna.
