Abstract
A process to realize optically transparent patch antennas with double-sided aluminum metalization of meshed structures on fused silica is presented in this paper. For cost-saving manufacturing, aluminum is used as metalization and wire-bonding is chosen as an industry standard RF interconnection technique. Despite the fact that aluminum has a lower conductivity compared to silver or gold, 64 % and 81 %
transparent antennas at 77 GHz with 4.4 dBi and 3.7 dBi gain respectively were realized.
