  • Antenna
    Patent number: 6873295
    Abstract: A radio antenna formed on a window pane includes parallel heating elements extending between busbars at opposite edges of the pane. Plural interconnecting elements extend across the heating elements. The length from the midpoint of a busbar to the point of connection of the interconnecting element, measured along the busbar and then along the heating element, is approximately ?/4+N(?/2), where n is an integer greater than or equal to zero, and ? is a select wavelength from the band of signals to be received.

  • Radio antenna for vehicle window
    Patent number: 6268832
    Abstract: An antenna, particularly for use in VHF radio reception in a vehicle, is disclosed. The antenna is formed from an array of conductors which may constitute a window heating arrangement. The array has a receiving zone which is isolated from its surroundings by resonant isolating zones. These may be formed by interconnecting adjacent-heating elements which may be at a distance of 0.25&lgr; of the wavelength (or multiple thereof) of the signal to be received from a real or virtual low-impedance connection to the vehicle structure.
