We present a printed radio frequency (RF) aperture (with an extraordinary 20:1 bandwidth) using optically transparent conductor (OTC), conformally placed onto a perfectly conducting ground plane. Of importance is that the OTC enables vertical integration of electro‐optical and RF. Multiple RF aperture layers can be used to achieve 1–300 GHz operation. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
