Multiobjective Optimization Design of UWB Metal Mesh Transparent Antenna

The main challenge for transparent antennas is to enhance the radiation efficiency and gain while maintaining a certain level of transparency. To facilitate the practical application of transparent antennas, the manufacturing process should be mature and cost-effective. We explore a cost-effective form of transparent antenna, namely wired metal mesh (MM). By assigning a design matrix to edges of wired MM, a new design strategy with multi-objective optimization using MOEA/D is proposed. Using this strategy, A UWB transparent CPW feed monopole with 79% transparency and 87% radiation efficiency has been proposed and fabricated. The antenna can be processed using PCB technology, which is very mature.
