Abstract

A method for manufacturing microwave antenna made of a graphene-composite material has been developed. The resin modified by graphene powder is used as a binding substance during the manufacturing of the composite antenna. L- and C- band horn, and dipole composite antenna prototypes in the range 0.2–1 GHz were created. The following electrodynamic characteristics of carbon-based antennae were measured and analyzed: the standing-wave ratio, the radiation pattern, and the amplitude-frequency response. The measurements were performed under laboratory conditions without using an anechoic chamber for various prototypes of the indicated antennas made of carbon fiber and carbon fabric, as well as for their metal analogues. It is shown that a graphene-containing microwave antennae have almost the same main electrodynamic characteristics as similar antennae made of metal alloys. However, the carbon-based antenna had a substantially reduced weight, increased durability, and enhanced immunity to corrosion.

composite material has been developed. The resin modified by graphene
powder is used as a binding substance during the manufacturing of the
composite antenna. L- and  C- band horn, and dipole composite antenna
prototypes in the range 0.2–1 GHz were created. The following
electrodynamic characteristics of carbon-based antennae were measured

electrodynamic characteristics as similar antennae made of metal
alloys. However, the carbon-based antenna had a substantially reduced
