Design and fabrication of a super-wideband transparent antenna implanted on a solar cell substrate

In this study, an antenna with transparent super wideband CPW technology has been designed and built with the combination of solar panels for use in wireless communication equipment and systems that require mobile power. The transparency value of the antenna is 63.3%, which is an acceptable value for the optimal use of sunlight. The proposed antenna was designed and measured on a plexi-glass substrate with a dielectric constant of [Formula: see text] and various thicknesses, the proposed antenna was designed and measured. The copper sheet has a high electrical conductivity and therefore it was selected for the antenna's radiating component as compared to earlier techniques that employed metal oxide. All simulations were done with CST microwave studio software and frequency domain solver. The results indicated that the antenna's operating frequency ranges from 2 to 32 GHz. The results of the computations indicated that the antenna's peak gain and peak efficiency are 8.1 dB and 90%, respectively. Various multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) performance parameters, including the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), diversity gain (DG), average effective gain (MEG), total active reflection coefficient (TARC), and channel capacity loss (CCL), were analyzed to demonstrate the antenna's performance.
