MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641018878 A) filed by Praveen Kumar M; Shanmugapriya M; O. Umamaheswari; and V. Pushpalatha, Viluppuram, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 19, for 'a novel miniaturized vel-shaped antenna for high-speed wireless communication.'

Inventor(s) include Praveen Kumar M; Shanmugapriya M; O. Umamaheswari; and V. Pushpalatha.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A novel low-profile, ultra-compact, flexible, and Semi-transparent (I 03) antenna a symbol of Hindu god lord Muruga, Vel Antenna structure (200) operating at 3.5 GHz is disclosed. The proposed antenna employs a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed (I 00) mechanism integrated with a miniaturized radiating patch, achieving effective impedance matching and radiation performance within a highly constrained physical footprint of only 12 mm x 28 mm. The antenna is realized on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (101) substrate having a thickness of 0.125 mm, a relative permittivity of 3.2, and a loss tangent of I, thereby enabling mechanical flexibility, light weight construction, and conformal deployment on planar and non-planar surfaces. The radiating patch and CPW feed (I 00) are formed using a thin silver (I 06) conductive layer with a thickness of 0.05 mm, which simultaneously provides high electrical conductivity, semi transparency, and structural durability. The disclosed configuration achieves significant size reduction while maintaining _stable resonance at the 3.5 GHz mid-band frequency, overcoming limitations of conventional rigid and opaque antennas. Owing to its trapsparent, flexible, and compact architecture, the antenna is particularly advantageous for next-generation wireless platforms including 50 sub-6 GHz communication systems (102), vehicular and intelligent transportation infrastructures, smart displays, wearable electronics, and Internet of Things devices. The inventive combination of CPW feed (100), transparent conductive material, and ultra-thin flexible substrate represents a distinct advancement over existing antenna designs, offering enhanced integration capability without compromising electromagnetic performance."
