FULLY TRANSPARENT METAMATERIAL AMC BACKED CPW FED MONOPOLE ANTENNA FOR IOT APPLICATIONS

In this paper, a fully transparent antenna comprising of an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) backed Co-planar Waveguide (CPW) fed dual-ring monopole is presented. The and AMC structure achieve transparency due to the use AgHT-8 conductive oxide Plexiglas substrate. Measured performance shows impedance bandwidth 5.3 – 6 GHz (12.4%) in U-NII-1 U-NII-4 frequency band with peak gain 5.7 dBi which approximately increase 4.5% 3.9 dBi, respectively, as compared standalone antenna. simulation measurement results agree well each other proves validity proposed design. To best our knowledge, first design combining radiator structure.
