Overview

Experimental design of a transparent monopole antenna improves radiation efficiency while maintaining optical transparency.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop an optically transparent antenna with improved radiation efficiency.
  • Designed a monopole antenna operating at 2.4 GHz.
  • Used a transparent conductive film (TCF) based on metallic micromesh.
  • Characterized the surface impedance using a waveguide transmission method.
  • Fabricated a laboratory prototype by laser patterning the TCF on a PET substrate.
  • Achieved a radiation efficiency of 65% at 2.4 GHz.
  • Obtained an optical transmittance of 86% without antireflection coatings.
