Summary:
The surface and leaky-wave modes supported by a grounded dielectric slab covered with graphene are studied. The dispersion curves of these modes are obtained by using an equivalent transmission line model. It is found that the surface and leaky-wave modes are profoundly influenced by the presence of conductive graphene. The tunability of the leaky modes through the chemical potential is explored and suggested as a possibility for a steerable leaky-wave antenna.
