Evaluation of Transparent Antenna

In the recent, the use of multiple antennas such as MIMO communication and miniaturization of communication equipment are spreading. Therefore, it becomes difficult to achieve a space for installing an antenna. As a solution to the problem, we tried to make the antenna transparent. At first, the advantages of transparency and the proposed metal mesh are described. In addition, the proposed method is compared with ITO, which is widely used as a transparent conductive material. Then, the structure of the used antenna is described. Finally, simulation and measurement results are demonstrated to investigate the realization of the transparent antenna.
