Microwave antennas and heterogeneous substrates using nanomaterial fabrication techniques (Invited paper for ICEA11)
conference contribution
posted on 2012-07-02, 09:12 authored by Chinwe C. Njoku, William WhittowWilliam Whittow, J.C. VardaxoglouBy exploiting the enhanced physical properties of
nanomaterials and the advancement in nanotechnology,
alternative methods of fabricating microwave antennas can be
conceived. This paper will discuss the potential manufacturing
advantages as well as different fabrication methods. By
controlling the location of metallic and dielectric particles,
integrated antennas and substrates can be made in one process.
Electromagnetic advantages result from being able to add
inclusions with different electrical properties into the host
substrate and thereby create a new effective permittivity and
permeability. This paper will review and analyse methods for
calculating these effective properties.
