Abstract

In this paper, we have simulated a rectangular microstrip patch antenna for aerospace applications based on graphen as a conductor and a multilayer substrate .as a result of the use of the graphen patch we obtained a reconfigurable antenna on the frequency range (0.6-0.7 terahertz) with a gain up to 12 db. The simulation of this antenna has been performed by using CST Microwave Studio, which is a commercially available finite integral based electromagnetic simulator.
