Abstract
The integration of microstrip patch antennas with photovoltaics has been proposed for applications in autonomous wireless communication
systems located on building fac ades. Full integration was achieved using polycrystalline silicon solar cells as both antenna
ground plane and direct current power generation in the same device. An overview of the proposed photovoltaic antenna designs is provided
and the variation characterised of the electromagnetic properties of the device with temperature and solar radiation. Measurements
for both copper and solar antennas are reported on three different commercial laminates with contrasting values for thermal coefficient of
the dielectric constant.
