A compact wideband transparent antenna designed on plexiglass substrate (10 × 12 × 1.48 mm 3 ) is presented. The optically transparent antenna consists of a radiation patch and a ground plane fabricated using AgHT‐8. The antenna design comprises of rectangular shaped branches optimized to attain the wideband characteristics. The proposed antenna design has impedance bandwidth of 58.71% covering the frequency range of 23.92‐43.8 GHz. The radiation pattern of the proposed antenna shows directional radiation pattern with electrical tilt. All calculated and measured results show that proposed compact transparent antenna is an excellent candidate for 5G communication systems and wideband code division multiple access applications.
