Abstract :Microstrip patch antennas can be made from a variety of materials with varying dielectric constants. In this article, a modified multi-slot patch multiband antenna is simulated using CST. Graphene is proposed as a patch material for an antenna that is designed to be used and studied at X and Ku band frequencies. Because of graphene`s high conductivity, it is appealing to use it as a conductive patch material to replace copper and other metal conductors while also increasing the antenna`s bandwidth and radiation efficiency. On the patch, different sized slot cuts were made. The antenna is made of Duroid RT5880 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(lossy); material with a dielectric constant of 2.2 that is sandwiched between a graphene patch and a ground plane. The antenna resonated at 11.22 GHz, indicating that it could be used in the X band frequency range.
