Abstract

AbstractThe aperture‐coupled patch antenna integrated with the amorphous silicon solar cell based on the substrate‐integrated suspended line platform is presented in this letter. The antenna patch on G1 layer is used as the cathode of amorphous silicon cell and the 1 × 2 array antenna is proposed based on the unit. The solar cell antenna operating from 4.67 to 5.17 GHz has the characteristic of high gain, which is achieved by air coupling to reduce loss. The gain of the unit and array is 9.21 and 11.92 dBi, respectively. In addition, the results of the antennas with and without solar cells are little different.
