研究目的
To present an electromagnetic modelling formulation of graphene nanoribbon antenna based on moments method combined to the generalized equivalent circuit method (MoM-GEC) for enhancing nanocommunications in the terahertz range.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that graphene nanoribbon-based antennas present similar performances as conventional ones, allowing operation at terahertz frequencies. The antenna resonant frequency is sensitive to the graphene chemical potential, enabling reconfigurability through bias voltage control. Additionally, graphene nanoribbon antenna arrays enhance far field communication for short distances, benefiting nanocommunications.
研究不足
The study is limited to the terahertz range and focuses on graphene nanoribbon antennas. The high input impedance of a single graphene nanoribbon antenna causes an impedance mismatch problem, requiring the use of an antenna array.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs the moments method combined with the generalized equivalent circuit method (MoM-GEC) for electromagnetic modelling of graphene nanoribbon antennas. The electrical properties of graphene are introduced via a quantum mechanical conductivity deduced from the Kubo formalism.
