Abstract
A see-through film antenna is proposed for 2.4 GHz WLAN applications. The antenna is made by a high-quality wire-grid film where very thin copper wires are used so that the antenna is almost transparent. Several kinds of wire-grids are applied and the performance is investigated experimentally and theoretically. It is found that the deterioration on radiation efficiency is limited and the transparency remains for practical applications, if the wire-grid is chosen appropriately.
