AB  - This paper proposes a dual-band transparent antenna using frame-structured metal 
      mesh conductive film (MMCF). The frame-structured metal mesh conductive film is 
      based on the conductive-coated thin film and forms a narrow strip surrounding the 
      edge of the antenna. The frame-structured metal mesh conductive film can resist 
      considerable current leakage on the edge of the conductive strip to improve the 
      antenna's efficiency by 51% at 2.1 GHz and 53% at 3.6 GHz. As a result, the 
      transparent dual-band antenna has an operating bandwidth of 1.9-2.4 GHz and 
      3.2-4.1 GHz with a high transparency of 80%, which make it valuable to the 
      applications of biomedical electronic components, wearable devices, and 
      automobile vehicles.
