Abstract
A communication element includes a high electron mobility transistor including a gate layer. A graphene layer is disposed on the gate layer. A communication system includes a signal source, a plasmonic transmitter, a first plasmonic antenna, a second plasmonic antenna, a plasmonic receiver and a signal detector. The signal source generates a transmitted signal. The plasmonic transmitter generates a first surface plasmonic polariton wave signal corresponding to the transmitted signal. The first plasmonic antenna generates an electromagnetic signal corresponding to the surface plasmon polariton wave signal. The second plasmonic antenna generates a second surface plasmon polariton wave signal corresponding to the electromagnetic signal. The plasmonic receiver generates a received signal corresponding to the second surface plasmon polariton wave signal. The signal detector detects the received signal.
