Abstract

Microstrip antenna is widely used in Wired Local Area Network (WLAN) communication. The limitation of microstrip antenna which are narrow bandwidth make the researchers to gain more knowledge and discover new invention. Nowadays graphene is a new issues to be studied by researchers. Graphene is a new materials that must be discovered because its characteristics can be future materials for antenna field. Graphene is purely form of carbon and can be used in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and also printed at antenna striplines for resistive loading. As we all know conventional antenna use copper as patch material. The high demanding in communication like high data speed make the researchers to study the solution of the problem in communication. For the beginning research, a Wideband Microstrip Antenna with Double U-slot is proposed for this project. A Wideband Microstrip Antenna is design in Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and use three different materials as patch material which are copper, graphene and gold. The comparison among three materials are discuss in this thesis. The simulation result is observed according to input impedances of the antenna, the directivity, gain and return loss of the antenna. The Wideband Microstrip Antenna with double u-slot using graphene as patch material is the best design among copper and gold which has the return loss – 20.273512 dB. The directivity for this antenna is 5.054 dBi which is the best among copper and gold.
