Summary:Embodiments of an optically transparent antenna are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the optically transparent antenna may comprise a plurality of electrically-isolated conductive patches arranged on a non-conductive surface. A combination of a size of the conductive patches and a spacing between the conductive patches is less than a human visual acuity for a predetermined viewing distance so that the patches are not be visible or perceptible to a human. In some embodiments, optically transparent antenna may serve as one or more antennas on a mobile platform.
