Abstract: An antenna is disclosed. The antenna includes a transparent substrate, a first square patch antenna element with a square lattice structure, a second square patch antenna element and a low profile transparent passive decoupling strip. The first square patch antenna element is disposed on the transparent substrate. The first square patch antenna element includes horizontal conductive wires and vertical conductive wires.
