Carbon-nanotube-based FR-4 patch antenna as a bio-material sensor

This paper presents the development and design of proximity coupled feed patch antenna as a bio-sensor. This sensor system consists of a two-layer Flame Retardant (FR-4) patch antenna coated with Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) for absorbing bio-molecules. The best design of patch antenna is...
