Abstract
Mass production techniques to provide highly sensitive and low-cost antennas are demanded to achieve the Internet of Things. Printing is a suitable technique for mass production of low-cost antennas. In this study, three types of printed silver nanowire (AgNW) antennas were fabricated by preparing inks containing AgNWs of different width and length. Printed antennas of short, narrow AgNWs achieved low volume resistivity (32.1 μΩ cm) and better radio-wave transmission performance than conventional etched copper foil tracks in the high frequency region of 2.0-5.0 GHz.
