Abstract

In this paper, a novel multiband coplanar waveguide-fed slotted transparent antenna is presented. The structural design of the radiating element is based on the semicircular curves in the form of slots on the patch to achieve multi-band characteristics with improved bandwidth. The overall structure having a size of λ0/2.67 × λ0/2.11 achieves transparency and a lightweight due to the presence of Plexiglas as a substrate material and AgHT-8 as a conductive material including the circular slotted patch and related CPW feeding line at the center frequency of the lowest operation band. The proposed antenna has the multiband operation characteristics with the center frequencies of 2.58 GHz, 3.67 GHz, 6.2 GHz having the impedance bandwidth of 19.84% (2.27—2.77 GHz), 1.76% (3.61—3.74 GHz) and 53.58% (4.50–7.79 GHz) respectively. The agreement between the numerical computation and measurement results of RF performance characteristics point out the technical potential of the proposed optically transparent antenna for short range multiband versatile wireless applications.
