Abstract :
The far field of a plasmonic nano dipole antenna topology is studied systematically. The important metals used in plasmonics are considered (silver, aluminum, chromium, gold, and copper), the length of the dipole is varied, and a very wide frequency band is considered. The results concern mainly radiation patterns, gains, and radiation efficiencies.
