摘要

Transparency in antenna design has emerged as a crucial focus in modern research, driven by the need for aesthetic integration and spatial efficiency across various applications. This work introduces an innovative semi-transparent antenna designed using readily available low-cost materials, such as an acrylic substrate and copper tape conductors. For the first time, the proposed partial transparent design exploits the exceptional potential of fractal geometry to design a compact, wideband semi-transparent antenna suitable for 5G (n2/n25) and LTE (1900 MHz) bands applications. Experimental results confirm that the antenna achieves an optimal transparency of 55.64%, a bandwidth of 1072 MHz, and a gain of 2.25 dB, while preserving its performance characteristics, making it an ideal solution for environments where subtlety and aesthetics are vital. Furthermore, the proposed partial transparency approach presents a cost-effective alternative to fully transparent antennas, which typically require complex fabrication processes and expensive materials, thus, offering a practical and efficient solution for next-generation wireless communication systems.
