An Eco-Friendly Antenna for 6G Communication Enabling Sustainable Infrastructure
摘要
This research presents the development of an antenna on an organic substrate for 6G infrastructure utilizing sustainable materials. The substrate is developed from 75% used tea powder and 25% carbon sourced from used batteries, combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), molded, and thermally processed to create a 5 mm thick organic substrate. The developed patch antenna operates within the frequency range of 14.8 to 17.3 GHz, encompassing the new lower 6G candidate band (14.8 to 15.3 GHz). The antenna exhibits 2.5 GHz bandwidth with a resonant frequency of 15.7 GHz. This antenna highlights the potential for integrating eco-friendly materials into modern telecommunications technology, promoting sustainability, and supporting the circular economy.
