Reduction of Sheet Resistance and Improvement of Radiation Efficiency by Annealing Treatment of ITO Transparent Antenna

In this study, the sheet resistance reduction of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) transparent conductive films, which are utilized as the radiating elements, by annealing treatment was investigated to improve the radiation efficiency of monopole antennas using transparent conductive films. As a result, it was confirmed that the sheet resistance was significantly reduced and the radiation efficiency was improved to 72.23 % by increasing the film thickness and annealing
