Abstract

As we edge closer to the integration of printed antennas on the surfaces of buildings and transportation systems, the idea of transparent antennas was highly sought after. In this contribution, a CPW transparent patch antenna with UWB characteristics was first designed and simulated using HFSS software, and then, to enhance the data rate, improve the radio link capacity, and eliminate multipath fading, a MIMO of two elements was made on the basis of the proposed antenna, which is built using a Plexiglas substrate and a silver coated polymer (AGHT-8) for the conducting element. The simulated reflection coefficient displays a fantastic bandwidth of about 21.65GHz. The working band of the band ranges from 22.72 to 44.37 (65.54%) GHz, with a peak gain of more than 3.75 dB and a radiation efficiency of more than 91%.  The isolation obtained is less than -32 dB with Diversity Gain is around 10 dB. The value of the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is less than 0.015.
