Abstract: The present invention is generally related to an antenna assembly, and in particular to a rear-view mirror antenna assembly for motor vehicles. The antenna assembly comprises a mirror attached to a casing (11) defining an outer perimeter (4), the assembly further comprising an antenna element (1) having a radiating element, wherein said radiating element is housed within said mirror and said casing and it is located substantially along said outer perimeter.
Abstract: The invention relates to a flush-mounted aircraft, UAV or missile antenna system, which is an integral part of the fuselage (3) of an aircraft, UAV or missile. The antenna system comprises a surface (3) made of a conductive material and a resonant recess (4) formed in said conducting surface, wherein said recess is conformed to provide a resonant behavior in a selected operating frequency, the antenna system further comprising a radiating element (2) located within said recess and a feeding element (5) within said recess coupled to said radiating element.
Abstract: The invention relates to a rearview mirror device for vehicles incorporating a radio-frequency reception system. The rearview mirror device comprises: a light-reflective surface made of an electrically conductive material, and at least one planar conductive element lying on a plane substantially parallel to said reflective surface. The light-reflective surface and said conductive element are capacitively coupled and are used in combination for the reception of radio-frequency signals. The invention provides a rearview mirror with great simplicity and very-low cost.

Abstract: An integrated multi-service antenna system for a motor vehicle includes a plurality of antenna structures integrated within a physical component of the motor vehicle. The plurality of antenna structures includes a radio antenna and at least one of a cellular telephony antenna and a satellite-signal antenna. The radio antenna has a radiating arm, with at least a portion of the radiating arm defining a space-filling curve, the radio antenna further has a feeding point for coupling the radio antenna to a radio receiver in the motor vehicle.
Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna for a motor vehicle, having the following parts and characteristics: a) a transparent window covered with a transparent, optically conductive plate on at least one side of any of the window material plates; b) a multilevel structure printed on the conductive plate. The multilevel structure consists of a set of polygonal elements pertaining to one same class, preferably triangles or squares; c) a transmission line powering two conductors; d) a similar impedance in the power supply point and a horizontal radiation diagram in at least three frequencies within three bands. The main advantage of the invention lies in the multiband and multiservice performance of the antenna. This enables convenient and easy connection of a simple antenna for most communication systems of the vehicle.
