Study of MIMO Antenna Made of Transparent Conductive ITO Films

In this paper, the optically transparent MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna made of transparent ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) films is investigated. Both patch and monopole elements are considered and each comprises of a thin sheet of glass substrate with two conductive ITO film coatings. Both of patch and monopole antennas are fed by transparent 50 Ωmicrostrip line.
