Description
Summary:The creation of new technologies in this frequency band has resulted in many high-speed wireless innovations, including high-definition video streaming, high-speed internet, high-definition multimedia interfaces, wireless gigabit Ethernet, and automotive radar [4]. The primary challenge in the mm-wave regime is increased path losses, which mean that the signal is easily attenuated; the signal may also fade during rainfall. [...]mm-waves are preferentially used to provide high data transfer rates in short distance communication. In this work, a design is proposed for a tuneable rectangular MPA with sufficient reconfigurability range to compensate for the narrow bandwidth of MPAs. Since mm-wave antennas composed entirely of graphene are expected to have low antenna performance and a small reconfigurability range, the proposed design uses a hybrid of copper and graphene to achieve reasonable antenna efficiency and gain as well as an acceptable tuneable frequency range. [...]section 6 presents the conclusions of the work. 2.ANTENNA SIMULATION MODELLING The design procedure for the proposed tunable antenna is shown in Figure 1.
