Abstract
A transparent antenna includes a conductive material disposed on a surface of a non-opaque substrate in one or more conductive regions, wherein a geometry of the conductive regions defines an antenna pattern. A non-conductive material is disposed on the surface of the substrate in a fill pattern which is an inverse of the antenna pattern. An average optical transparency in the conductive regions and the non-conductive regions is at least 50%, and the average optical transparency in the conductive regions differs from that of the non-conductive regions by no more than 10%.
