Abstract

This paper presents the simulation and realization of a patch antenna made of composites based on Polyaniline (PANI) and carbon nanotubes (CNT). The antenna is designed to work at the frequency of 4.5 GHz; the dielectric substrates used is Rogers RT/duroid 5870 which has a dielectric permittivity of 2.35 and a loss tangent of 0.0012. The conductive polymer used has a conductivity of 4500 s/m, the carbon nanotubes used are multiwall carbon nanotubes. Simulation results show an antenna gain of 5.3dBi for PANI thickness of 70 μm.
