Transparent microstrip patch antenna using indium tin oxide for telecommunication applications

Abstract

Transparent microstrip patch antenna has been the main focus of this thesis work. The use of transparent antennas for stealth and telecommunication purpose has been the incitement of this research. Lately the urge for high data rate communication, very fast speed and shorter distance have triggered engineers and scientists to work in the large scale of frequency range. On the other hand top mobile manufacturing companies are giving significant effort to build transparent devices which is a good sign for stepping into the promising futuristic works. These facts have been the main motivation of this research. Such antennas are being assembled on the materials which are highly conductive, discreet and conformal. Moreover which has the quality to delivery decent antenna performance on glass in the latest generation communication like 3G,4G or 5G. Our proposed microstrip patch antenna offers a good solution for the multiband areas in the frequency range of 0-35GHz which we have noticed by comparing other researches done before. In this research, we have investigated the result of the patch antenna using indium tin oxide (ITO) with glass substrate. Parametric studies in this work has been calculated and simulated by CST microwave studio. This contention has shown the radiation parameters, S-parameters of the transparent microstrip patch antenna.
