Abstract

We report the design, fabrication, and experimental characterization of an optically transparent printed planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) operating at 2.45 GHz using the aerosol jet (AJ) printing method. The proposed antenna was fabricated using a clear conductive ink on glass and Delrin. The antenna exhibits a wide fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 20% centered at 2.45 GHz, with a peak realized gain of −3.6 dBi and transparency of ~80%. The proposed fabrication method provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for manufacturing transparent antennas with potential applications in wireless communication, sensing, and wearable devices operating at mmWave frequencies higher than 30 GHz.

使用 PEDOT 银纳米线透明油墨和气溶胶喷射印刷方法制作光学透明平面倒 F 天线，实现有效天线

我们报告了利用气溶胶喷射（AJ）印刷方法设计、制造和实验表征工作频率为 2.45 GHz 的光学透明印刷平面倒 F 天线（PIFA）的情况。所提议的天线是在玻璃和 Delrin 上使用透明导电油墨制作的。该天线以 2.45 GHz 为中心，具有 20% 的宽分数带宽 (FBW)，峰值增益为 -3.6 dBi，透明度约为 80%。所提出的制造方法为制造透明天线提供了一种具有成本效益且可扩展的解决方案，有望应用于工作频率高于 30 GHz 的毫米波无线通信、传感和可穿戴设备。
