Abstract :
A novel reconfigurable fractal graphene antenna model operating at THz band is presented in this paper, where the frequency-dependent property of graphene conductivity is implemented into our simulation. In the development of such Sierpinski fractal antenna with self-similarity, we use graphene to fill its slot parts so as to achieve our desired reconfigurable capability. Some numerical results are given to show the radiation performance of our proposed graphene antenna model, with experiment being done so as to verify our design.
