Abstract
A transparent antenna is fabricated by combining a metal nanomesh structure and a graphene sheet. The nanomesh structure is formed on a surface, and the graphene sheet is placed over the nanomesh structure. The graphene sheet is adhered to the nanomesh structure to form a graphene nanomesh structure. The graphene nanomesh structure is shaped to form the transparent antenna that efficiently transmits and receives signals in a desired frequency range yet is optically transparent.
