A transparent metal mesh is used as an antenna element and is disposed over a graphical display so that the graphical display can be seen through the transparent metal mesh. A radio circuit is coupled to the metal mesh to receive radio signals using the transparent metal mesh. In some embodiments the radio circuit can also transmit signals using the transparent metal mesh as an antenna.
