tlooto Summary
Monopole antennas fabricated from transparent conducting films exhibit improved radioelectrical performances with ultrathin copper layer, Indium Tin Oxide film, and ITO/Cu/ITO multilayer.
Abstract
The authors have investigated radioelectrical performances of monopole antennas fabricated from transparent conducting films. Ultrathin copper layer, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film and ITO/Cu/ITO multilayer have been deposited by r.f. sputtering. For each sample, sheet resistance, optical transparency, radioelectrical performances have been evaluated and discussed. This research shows that multilayer technology is suitable for UHF band applications.
