Optically Transparent Patch Antennas Using Saltwater for WLAN Applications

Abstract: This paper presents the design, fabrication, and measurement of a novel transparent patch antenna using saltwater with high-opticaltransparency applications for wireless local area networks (WLANs) at 2.4–2.5 GHz. The most important reason for using saltwater for transparent antenna applications is its superior average optical transparency (OT<sub>av</sub> >90%) compared to other typical transparent electrodes, such as indium tin oxide (ITO; OTav >80%) or metal-mesh film (MMF; OTav >60%). … Show more

“…All frequency bands mentioned are within the bandwidth obtained for the multilayer bio-inspired FSS structure. In [32] a transparent and flexible patch antenna for Wi-Fi 6E applications is proposed with a measured frequency band of 5.87-7.04 GHz, where it is possible to verify that the proposed FSS structure can be used. In the work presented in [33], a small antenna for use in WLAN and Wi-Fi 6E on a narrow border laptop computer is proposed, for this case it is also possible to use the FSS proposed here.…”

“…In the pursuit of expanding the number of applications of MMAs, numerous researchers have attempted to develop a transparent MMA [19,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. The structure of an MMA typically comprises three layers: a conductive resonance layer at the top, an intermediate dielectric layer, and a conductive ground layer at the bottom.…”

“…The realization of a transparent MMA involves the integration of a transparent substrate, such as glass or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), with a patterned transparent conductor. Among the various candidates for transparent conductors [29,30,34], indium tin oxide (ITO) and silver (Ag) nanowire composites have been validated. In particular, ITO is favored for its optimal balance of transparency and conductivity [19,27,[31][32][33].…”

“…Besides achieving circular polarization by various techniques, patch antennas are generally low-cost, low-profile, easy to manufacture, and they are used in numerous applications such as satellites, radars, GNSS, and wireless networks. However, microstrip patch antennas have relatively narrow impedance and 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidths [4,5].…”
