摘要：

This letter presents an optically transparent antenna, which is made of conductive AgHT coated film, with an improved efficiency by applying a highly conductive coating or metallization in the form of a very narrow strip to selective antenna areas of high current density. A measurement showed that the proposed method improved the maximum gain of a fabricated transparent antenna using the AgHT film from -5 dBi to 0 dBi at 2.2 GHz while preserving much of the optical transparency. A 3D electromagnetic model using a full-wave method of moments was developed to investigate the effect of width of the highly conductive narrow strip on the efficiency of the transparent antenna.
