Abstract

The development of a metal mesh transparent MIMO antenna with closely spaced transparent square patch elements has been presented. A square lattice structure is used to design the conductive metal used in metal mesh antennas and has been fabricated with conductive metal wired metal to achieve 83% transparency. The closely spaced transparent antenna elements are isolated by a novel transparent thin decoupling structure. The transparent metal mesh conductors are printed on a 1mm thick transparent Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, which consists of a stack of 10 layers and each layer has a thickness of 0.1 mm. CST Microwave Studio is used to design, analyze and optimize the proposed antenna.
