Fractal Graphene Patch Antennas and the THz Communications Revolution

Fractal antennas have and are continuing to receive attention in regard the future of wireless communications. This is because their wide- multi-band capabilities, opportunity fractal geometries drive multiple resonances, and, ability make smaller lighter with fewer components radiative elements higher gains. Small scale (i.e. on micro- nano-scale) ultra high frequency (in Terahertz or THz range) composed Graphene potential enhance communications at a data rate that unprecedented, i.e. ∼ 1012 bits per second. A antenna high-frequency tuneable for radio spectrum, enabling unique applications such as nano-networks. (mono-layer) one-atom-thick two-dimensional allotrope Carbon highest known electrical conductivity currently unavailable any other material, including metals Gold Silver. Thus, combining properties self-affine characteristics nano-scale, provides revolutionise communications, least near field (the order few metres) low power systems. In this paper, we consider basic physics some principle mathematical models associated development new disruptive technology provide guide those engaged current research, being an example advanced material demanding applications. includes simulations patterns generated by patch whose taken inverse according 'Drude' model. The approach generating sources using also explored based Infrared laser pumping induce photo-current.
