OPTICALLY TRANSPARENT ANTENNA AND ARRAY OF OPTICALLY TRANSPARENT ANTENNAS

摘要

The invention relates to an optically transparent antenna, including: a lower substrate supporting the floorplan of the antenna; an intermediate substrate; and an upper substrate, the intermediate substrate being arranged between the lower substrate and the upper substrate. The substrates are optically transparent and preferably made of glass. The antenna is characterized in that the floorplan includes an optically transparent conductive deposit, the conductive deposit being the floorplan opposite the intermediate substrate, and in that the antenna further includes: a radiating unit arranged between the intermediate substrate and the upper substrate; and two transmission lines which consist of an optically transparent conductive deposit on the surface of the intermediate substrate opposite the floorplan, and which extend from two opposite edges of the intermediate substrate, respectively, to the radiating unit such that, when the transmission lines are supplied with power, said transmission lines cause the radiating unit to radiate.
