contents This study presents a simulated transceiver with a microstrip patch antenna (MPA) designed to resonate at 150 GHz and embedded in paint. The in-paint MPA (IP-MPA) is designed for the Internet of Paint (IoP) paradigm, which envisions seamless device communication through a paint layer on walls. This study introduces a comprehensive channel model for transceivers in paint at arbitrary depths and IP-MPA orientations. The best antenna orientations are analyzed for IoP channel performance. Extensive simulations indicate that the lateral waves, which propagate along the air-paint interface, exhibit the lowest loss, making this path the most reliable for communication between transceivers in paint. Further, the maximum received power for each propagation path, with the exception of the direct path, depends on depth. The findings suggest that the proposed network of IP-MPA-enabled transceivers for IoP has the potential to transform conventional walls into an integrated high-speed wireless communication and sensing infrastructure.
