A New Transparent Planar Reflector Antennas for Satellite DTV Applications

Abstract

This paper presents the new thick film coating technology for transparent conducting film (TCF). The coated thin film is having the microwave characteristic of high transparency and low resistivity. Design of traditional dipole antenna consisted of iron wire, which can be manufactured via the simple bending process as that for the reflector antennas. On the surface is designed, the planar reflecting layer of using our invented activation process is used to rearrange the direction of liquid nano-material the thin film from disorder to ordered arrangements. The optical transmittance of reflector layer can be achieved in 82%. The overall dimension size of the is 210×290 mm2, The transparent reflective layer is prototyped can apply on the Ku-band for the satellite DTV.
