Abstract: Abstract This study aims to prepare an aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO)/silver nanowire (AgNWs) composite transparent conducting film on a glass substrate via radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering and spin-coating. The effects of AgNWs content and AZO deposition temperature and pressure on the structural, electrical, and optical properties were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the resistivity and transmittance of the AZO/AgNWs stacked films were 2.15 × 10−4 Ω·cm and 80.28%, respectively, in the 400–800 nm range. Finally, a wide-band transparent antenna with an operational frequency of 2.4 GHz was built from AZO/AgNWs stacked films. This antenna is useful for Bluetooth communication. Highlights • AZO film was deposited on spin-coated AgNWs films by magnetron sputtering. • The resistivity and transmittance of the AZO/AgNWs stacked films were 2.15 × 10−4 Ω·cm and 80.28%. • The real part impedance of AZO/AgNWs film antenna is 50 Ω at the frequency of 2.4 GHz. • This transparent antenna is useful for Bluetooth communication.
