▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - The method (500) involves forming a metal nanomesh structure on a surface (510). A graphene sheet is placed (520) over the nanomesh structure. The graphene sheet is caused and adhered (530) to the nanomesh structure. A graphene nanomesh structure is formed. The graphene nanomesh structure is shaped (540) to form a transparent antenna that transmits and receives signals in desired frequency range yet is optically transparent. The metal nanomesh structure is formed by nanosphere lithography process, where the nanosphere lithography process includes depositing a layer of metal over polystyrene microspheres assembled on the surface and removing the polystyrene microspheres from the surface. USE - Method for fabricating a transparent antenna (claimed) to be integrated into windows of a vehicle e.g. car and lorry to receive and transmit radio signals based on a hybrid graphene/metal nanomesh structure. ADVANTAGE - The method enables allowing the graphene sheet to provide adequate electrical conductivity to transmit and receive signals within the desired frequency range to increases transceiver efficiency of the antenna while maintaining the optical transparency. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a transparent antenna. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a flow diagram illustrating a method for fabricating a hybrid graphene/mesh transparent antenna.
