▎ 摘  要

A hybrid dielectric reconfigurable graphene antenna is designed by combining the Yagi antenna and absorption characteristics of graphene. Graphene is selectively covered in the Yagi antenna directors to obtain a change of the beam from unidirectional to bidirectional by changing the graphene potential. By reducing the area covered by graphene, we obtain a radiation efficiency of more than 95 percent. After adding a gold bowtie antenna at 1550 nm, the antenna shows a larger directivity and a smaller beam width, as well as a maximum directivity of 7.2 dBi. Furthermore, the surface area of graphene has been reduced three times, while the directivity improves from 4.7 to 5.6 dBi after comparing the effect of different surface distributions, which will be helpful to reduce the difficulty of graphene antenna manufacturing and improve the performance of the antenna beam.
