The influence of anisotropic conductivity of composite materials used in the manufacture of antennas on the parameters of antenna-feeder microwave devices has been considered. To test experimentally the possibility of such an effect, horn antennas of the L– and C– frequency bands were created from carbon-composite materials of various structures with a graphene-containing epoxy-binding substance. The study of the polarization characteristics of these antennas showed that the presence of anisotropic conductivity of the walls of the waveguide part of horn antennas made of composite materials leads to a change in the parameters of the antennas, which is more noticeable for high –frequency C-band antennas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
