Abstract

This study investigates how varying the width of a graphene patch affects the performance and bandwidth of a nano-patch antenna. High-Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS) software was employed for simulation, evaluating parameters such as voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), gain, and return loss. The graphene patch of 0.690nm thick was placed on a silicon dioxide substrate with a thickness of 10 µm, while the patch width was systematically varied at 30 µm, 32 µm, 34 µm, 38 µm, and 42 µm. Surprisingly, the resonating frequency remained unaffected by changes in patch width. The results revealed that the patch widths of 32 µm, 34 µm, and 38 µm produced the highest return losses of -24.5482, -24.4774, and -24.4001, respectively. Additionally, these configurations exhibited impeccable VSWR values of 1.0302, 1.0387, and 1.0480. Notably, a substantial bandwidth improvement exceeding 500 GHz was achieved for these patch widths. This finding underscores the significant relationship between gain, directivity, and patch width in graphene nano-patch antennas. Furthermore, both 32 µm and 34 µm patch widths demonstrated gain and directivity exceeding 7 dB.
