Transparent Conformal Antenna

WaveBand Corporation (WaveBand) proposes to develop an entirely new type of antenna: optically transparent fractal antenna that will be operating in the 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz frequency band, transparent to light, therefore ideal for window mounting, easy tomanufacture, therefore low in cost. The key to the proposed design is that the fractal shapes will be formed by use of a transparent (non-metal) conductive coating deposited onto a dielectric substrate, which can be either flexible or rigid. Since fractalantennas have high-gain and multiple-band capabilities, and also can be made much smaller than the conventional antennas, the proposed antennas can be applied to a huge broadband communications market.
