Experimental Results for Carbon Nanotube-Sheet Based Microstrip Patch Antenna

The paper presents the potential of carbon nanotube-sheet (CNS) for microstrip antennas. A 20 μm CNS was measured for conductivity using a single post dielectric resonator (SiPDR), and then a microstrip patch was fabricated on a Rogers RT5880 substrate. The measured results of the patch antenna showed good agreement with the simulated version using the CNS measured conductivity. Results were also compared to the simulated PEC version for comparison.
