Transparent dual-band antenna for smart watch applications

Abstract

In this paper an optically transparent dual-band antenna is proposed. The antenna can be directly constructed on the surface of display screens for applications in smart watches, tablets and smart TVs. This design approach would relieve the antenna designer of having to integrate antennas into the body of electronic devices and allow them to integrate antennas into the display and provide significant advantages in small form factor and low profile wireless communication apparatus. It is shown that the proposed antenna can exhibit dual-band operation.
