    3D-Printed Antenna Design Using Graphene Filament and Copper Tape for High-Tech Air Components
    (Sae Int, 2023) Aydin, Emine Avsar; Bicer, Mustafa Berkan; Mert, Mehmet Erman; Ozgur, Ceyla; Mert, Basak Dogru
    Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies can produce lighter parts; reduce manual assembly processes; reduce the number of production steps; shorten the production cycle; significantly reduce material consumption; enable the production of prostheses, implants, and artificial organs; and produce end-user products since it is used in many sectors for many reasons; it has also started to be used widely, especially in the field of aerospace. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) was preferred for the antenna substrate because it is environmentally friendly, easy to recycle, provides convenience in production design with a three-dimensional (3D) printer, and is less expensive compared to other available materials. Copper (Cu) tape and graphene filament were employed for the antenna patch component due to their benefits. The comprehensive comparative analysis between a full-wave model and a 3D-printed prototype of the antenna via the CST Microwave Studio program was demonstrated here. The surface characterization was achieved with scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis. The homogeneous Cu and oxidized graphene (GO) were detected. The weight percent of carbon (C) and oxygen (O) on the graphene surface was 59.82% and 40.18%, respectively. The Cu (111), Cu (200), and Cu (220) peaks were determined on the Cu tape. The GO (011) peak was seen in the XRD spectra of the graphene sheet. The simulation and measurement comparisons are quite satisfactory. The antennas, produced using a conventional 3D printer, will be beneficial for various applications in aeronautics and astronautics.

    Electromagnetic and Chemical Analysis and Performance Comparison of Inset-fed Rectangular Microstrip Antennas
    (Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2023) Aydin, Emine Avsar; Bicer, Mustafa Berkan; Mert, Mehmet Erman; Mert, Basak Dogru
    A simple method for creating lightweight and inexpensive microstrip patch antennas using reduced graphene oxide or acetylene black added epoxy resin was developed. The biggest goal in the method is optimizing the appropriate chemicals and production processes for producing the materials with the designed properties. Five examples of an inset-fed microstrip patch antenna operating at approximately 2.0-12.0 GHz were designed based on the antenna's basic analytical formula. Their models were created in a 3D electromagnetic simulation environment. After examining the performance results of the design, the appropriate design models were produced with both 3D printer technology and wet-chemical methods, and the experimental results were compared with the simulation results. The produced reduced graphene oxide or acetylene black added samples ' structure was illuminated with scanning electron microscope images, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy analysis. The measured S-11 characteristics of the antennas provide better performance as compared to the simulated results. The measured S-11 parameters for the two and three frequency bands fell substantially below -10 dB. As a result of the dielectric constants of the materials and the fabrication of the radiation plane, horizontal shifts were detected in the measurement outcomes.
