Design of a transparent antenna implanted on Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells for SWB

In this paper, a super-wideband (SWB) MIMO transparent antenna (TA) integrated with polycrystalline silicon solar cell (PSSC) panels is designed. Silver paste is printed on the high-transparency borosilicate glass surface, and the radiation patches are designed with metal mesh (MM) structure to achieve high transparency. The antenna has a bandwidth of 1.7-31GHz (18.2:1) and achieves a gain from varied 3.3-12dBi. The channel capacity loss (CCL) is below 0.4 bits/s/Hz, and the total reflection coefficient (TARC) is below -10dB. The mutual coupling between antenna elements is below -20dB. A high transparency of 79% is achieved, with minimal impact on the efficiency of the solar cell panels. Integration with PSSC allows for broad applications in various household and vehicular communication systems.
