Summary: | In this paper, the design of a UWB antenna using a transparent AgHT-8 material is proposed for green wireless applications. Computer simulation is used for studies. For verification of the design, the proposed antenna is fabricated on an AgHT-8 film and measured. Results show that the antenna has better radiation efficiency relative to its size than the previous designs, good omni-directional radiation patterns throughout the FCC bandwidth of 3.1-10.6 GHz and a comparable gain. To filter out the unwanted signals in the WLAN band, two vertical slots are introduced to produce a tuning notch in the 5 GHz frequency band. For demonstration of green wireless applications, the transparent antenna is incorporated with a solar panel for harnessing solar energy. Results show that the transparency of the antenna makes it a good candidate for future green wireless applications. |
