Transparent antenna on lens with metalized edge
The disclosed apparatus may include an antenna radiating structure that includes an active transparent mesh portion as well as a non-transparent antenna radiator portion. By combining transparent metal mesh and non-transparent metallic film into the antenna radiating structure, the disclosed apparatus results in improved radiation efficiency. Moreover, when overlaid on a transparent lens (such as with a pair of augmented reality glasses), the antenna radiating structure leaves the optical transparency of the lens largely unaffected due to the placement of the non-transparent metallic film. Various other implementations are also disclosed.
MESH STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME, ANTENNA REFLECTION MIRROR, ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING MATERIAL, AND WAVEGUIDE TUBE
A mesh structure is a knitted fabric or woven fabric including element wires of a zirconium copper fiber or element wires of a stainless steel fiber.

Deployable reflector structures, deployable antenna structures, and associated components and methods
A deployable reflector structure includes a base in a central portion of the deployable reflector structure. The deployable reflector structure further includes one or more arms configured to extend from the base. The deployable reflector structure also includes an expandable structure coupled to the one or more arms. The deployable reflector structure further includes a reflector coupled between the one or more arms and the base. A drive mechanism may be configured to extend one or more of the arms and the expandable structure with a drive cable.
