Electrodynamic Characteristics of Dipole Antennas Made of Graphene-Containing Carbon Fiber Composite Materials

Resumo

The electrodynamic characteristics of dipole antennas made of carbon fiber composites with a graphene-containing binder have been investigated at 200 and 600 MHz. It is shown that main characteristics of antennas, including the standing wave ratio, radiation pattern, and gain factor, coincide with characteristics of their metal analogs. The effect of conductive properties of the metal–carbon fiber composite contact in the dipole radiating elements on the parameters of the antennas is estimated.
