| Popis: | In this paper polyaniline-Graphene pellets are used for the implementation of a conducting polymer antenna which radiates at 6.8 GHz.The conducting polymer polyaniline is synthesized by oxidative polymerization and rapid mixing process. The conductivity enhancement is done by secondary doping and the incorporation of exfoliated graphene as filler in the polyaniline host matrix. As a result of the filler incorporation, conductivity is enhanced to 5000 S/m and it is pelletized and used as radiating elements of the antenna.FR4 with permittivity 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.001 is used as substrate. The antenna is designed to operate in 6.8GHz and it works with a bandwidth of 450 MHz.The proposed antenna shows a gain of -2.2 dBi for a thickness of 1.92mm. |
