Abstract: This manuscript provides a bibliometric and thematic analysis of research on graphene-based antennas for 5G wireless communications. Recently, graphene-based antennas have gained popularity. Currently, research is underway to design and develop compact antennas using graphene material. This study presents an analysis of graphene antennas for 5G communication from a bibliometric and thematic viewpoint. A literature search was carried out on the Scopus database documents related to 5G communication using graphene antenna. To conduct this study, total 56 research articles from 2014-2021 were reviewed. Bibliometrix (R package) and SciMAT software were used to conduct this review in terms of bibliometric and thematic analysis. The analysis presents results as contributing authors and co-authors, main affiliations, leading contributing countries, main relevant sources and major themes. The derived results provide insight into the limitations and scope of collaborative research in the area of 5G antenna design utilising graphene material.

Keywords: bibliometric analysis; communication; graphene; wireless; thematic analysis.
