Abstract
A simple low-cost solar antenna design for UMTS base station is proposed. The optimum orientation of the silver DC bus bars of the solar cell is found to be Ag-parallel, in order to achieve best antenna performance. Good antenna performance similar to that of ordinary shorted patch antennas is obtained.
