An Optically Transparent Antenna for IoT Applications

In this paper, an optically transparent antenna to operate in long term evolution (LTE) band 700 MHz and 800 MHz is presented. The antenna has a −6dB impedance bandwidth extending from 730–900 MHz It has been designed on a flexible ultra-thin Acrylic sheet which may find a number of applications in the internet of things (IoT) and smart buildings. The antenna has also been fabricated and the measured results would be shown during the conference.
