The use of graphene for antennas and other electromagnetic passives could bring significant benefit such as extreme miniaturization, monolithic integration with graphene RF nanoelectronics, efficient dynamic tuning, and even transparency and mechanical flexibility. Though recently different related theoretical works have been presented, relatively few applications have been proposed and realistically assessed. In this invited talk we will briefly review the main properties of graphene and the state of the art in its theoretical and experimental characterization. Then, we will discuss a number of potential antenna applications from microwave to THz, providing in each case a critical assessment of the benefits, limitations, and remaining issues towards actual real-life implementations. Here we provide a brief overview of different devices and associated developments in our group discussed in the talk, including graphene antennas and reflectarrays at microwave and THz, plasmonic switches, isotropic and anisotropic meta-surfaces, or graphene RF-NEMS.
