The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is that it offers low cost, and compacttablet/mobile devices with better wireless connectivity and increased battery life. Lower cost of thesedevices will enable their widespread use in the society and enable use of broadband services with higherefficiency and better connectivity. The transparent antenna technology offers a platform on whichseveral other applications can be built. For instance, compact health monitoring sensors can beintegrated with wireless capability by integrating antennas on their displays. This technology also willalso improve wireless capability of wearables as they have very limited real estate for antennas.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to develop transparent antennatechnology for wireless consumer devices. This SBIR project will advance our understanding ofinteractions between touch sensor and transparent antennas and enable development of multifunctionaltouch sensors that not only operates as a touch sensor but also a transparent antenna aswell. A very comprehensive research approach will be undertaken in Phase I. Namely, in addition toevaluating performance of the antenna technology in the presence of touch sensor, performance oftouch sensor in the presence of transparent antennas will also be characterized to ensure that theproposed multi?]functional touch sensors meet the requirements of wireless consumer devices such astablets and mobile phones.

该项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力在于，它提供了低成本、紧凑的平板电脑/移动设备，具有更好的无线连接性和更长的电池寿命。这些设备的成本较低，将使其在社会中广泛使用，并使宽带服务的使用具有更高的效率和更好的连接性。透明天线技术提供了一个可以构建其他几种应用程序的平台。例如，紧凑型健康监测传感器可以通过在其显示器上集成天线来与无线功能集成。该技术还将提高可穿戴设备的无线功能，因为可穿戴设备的天线空间非常有限。小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目旨在为无线消费设备开发透明天线技术。该 SBIR 项目将增进我们对触摸传感器和透明天线之间相互作用的理解，并促进多功能触摸传感器的开发，该传感器不仅可以用作触摸传感器，还可以用作透明天线。第一阶段将采取非常全面的研究方法。即，除了评估存在触摸传感器的天线技术的性能外，还将对存在透明天线的触摸传感器的性能进行表征，以确保所提出的多功能触摸传感器满足平板电脑和移动电话等无线消费设备的要求。
