Abstract

An optically transparent antenna fed by a coplanar L-probe is proposed in this paper. Indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) with a sheet resistance of 3.5 Ω/sq etched on a soda-lime glass substrate is used as radiation array and ground to achieve high optical transmittance. TM $ _{10} $ 10 and TM $ _{20} $ 20 modes are excited simultaneously to expand work bandwidth. The fabricated antenna achieves a –10 dB reflection bandwidth of 27.5% from 4.7 to 6.2 GHz with the overall size of 42 mm × 42 mm × 3.3 mm. Different from many antennas composed of ITO, the proposed antenna exhibits directional radiation patterns with the maximum realized gain of 4.6 dBi and the maximum efficiency of 61%. Meanwhile, the optical transmittance of the antenna can reach above 58%.
