CPW-Fed Transparent Antenna for Extended Ultrawideband Applications

A novel coplanar waveguide-fed transparent antenna for ultrawideband applications with enhanced bandwidth is presented. In this design, different techniques have been used to broaden the bandwidth. The rectangular radiator of the antenna is equipped by the staircase technique to increase the overlapped resonant frequencies. Moreover, two major and minor symmetrical rectangular stubs are mounted on top of the quarter-circle slot ground by using a dual axis to significantly increase the bandwidth between 3.15 and 32 GHz for VSWR <; 2. AghT-8 transparent thin film is used in the design of the proposed antenna to obtain a very compact size and lightweight structure.
