Abstract

The influence of anisotropic conductivity in composites used as antenna materials on the properties of antenna feeder microwave devices has been considered. Variously designed L- and C-band horn antennas with a graphene-containing epoxy binder have been made of carbon composites to check the feasibility of this effect. It has been shown by studying the polarization characteristics of these antennas that the anisotropic conductivity of the walls of the carbon composite horn antenna’s waveguide section changes the antenna parameters, with this change being more noticeable in high-frequency C-band antennas.
