This paper presents optically transparent dipole antennas with innovative meshes for printing processes. The influence on antenna performance of the meshing geometry, the width and the pitch of dipole are investigated. The study shows that, for a given width, an increase of the performance with a twin small pitch with circle geometry. Furthermore, the antennas with an optical transparency of 70% present a loss of the realized gain around 0.35% compared to an opaque conventional dipole antenna with the same width.
