This paper presents the design and fabrication of a broadband microstrip attenuator, operating at 1-20 GHz, based on few layer graphene flakes. The RF performance of the attenuator has been analyzed in depth. In particular, the use of graphene as a variable resistor is discussed and experimentally characterized at microwave frequencies. The structure of the graphene-based attenuator integrates a micrometric layer of graphene flakes deposited on an air gap in a microstrip line. As highlighted in the experiments, the graphene film can range from being a discrete conductor to a highly resistive material, depending on the externally applied voltage. As experimental evidence, it is verified that the application of a proper voltage through two bias tees changes the surface resistivity of graphene, and induces a significant change of insertion loss of the microstrip attenuator.
