Abstract
The transfer of graphene onto dielectric substrates to form an antenna needs to be performed with care, as tears and cracks may appear on the samples transferred improperly. This paper studies a detailed method in estimating the performance of a millimeter-wave (MMW) antenna built using commercially-available graphene layers. In contrast to the widely studied monolayer graphene, the proposed antenna is produced based on the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, which is to be secured onto the antenna substrate via adhesive material without removal of the transition metal substrate from the graphene layer sample. The antenna performance modeled using this technique indicated quite similar results to a model using ideal monolayer graphene in terms of gain, radiated power and radiation efficiency. Its performance benchmarked against a copper antenna operating at the same MMW frequency also indicated similar performance improvements as with another antenna designed using monolayer graphene.
