Nanomaterials for Antenna Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Synthesis and Applications of Nanoparticles

Abstract

This chapter discusses the contribution of the nanomaterial in evolving the front-end RF passive circuits of wireless communication devices. The antenna is addressed due to its indispensable role in any wireless system. Various antenna types like patch, slot, wearable, and dielectric resonators are explored. The nanomaterial impact on antenna performance like bandwidth, size, cost, applicability, and reconfigurability is presented. Graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNT), and nanowires are considered in this chapter as the main nanomaterials used by antenna engineers. The advantages and disadvantages of the discussed nanomaterials are also highlighted by providing practical examples.
