We present an over view of our most recent analytical, numerical and experimental results in developing the optical metatronics. We also show how this concept can be merged into the platform of graphene, which is one-atom-thick carbon layers, leading to the possibility of one-atom-thick infra-red metamaterials and transformation optics.

A very small feed strip is placed very close to the presented novel patch on the substrate above the ground plane. The given patch is act as radiating patch while feed strip couples the energy to radiating patch by capacitive mean. The model of antenna incorporates the capacitive feed strip which is fed by a coaxial probe by using equivalent approach. Effect of various parameters such as air gap between the substrate and the ground plane, probe diameter, the distance between the radiator patch and feed strip, and dimensions of the feed strip on the performance of the antenna has studied and there results has discussed here.
