  • Publication number: 20080024379
    Abstract: The invention deals with an antenna arrangement (1) for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic signals, the antenna arrangement (1) comprising: a flat carrier substrate (2) made of dielectric material, a first conducting track (32) applied to a surface of the carrier substrate (2), the first conducting track (32) possessing at one end a point of contact so as to gather thereat or inject thereat the signals and a first dipole (50, 51) at the opposite end, a second conducting track (42) applied to the other surface of the carrier substrate (2), the second conducting track (42) possessing at one end a point of contact so as to gather thereat or inject thereat the signals and a second dipole (60, 61) at the opposite end, the first and the second dipoles (50, 51, 60, 61) forming a crossed dipole.

  • Patent number: 6576845
    Abstract: A window unit including a transparent window, at least two functional electric elements mounted on the transparent window, each of the functional electric elements being provided with an electrical contact face arranged on the window near the edge of the window, the electrical contact faces being distributed along the edge of the window, a flexible contact element mounted to the window at the edge of the window, having a shape tailored to the edge of the window, connecting the electrical contact faces, and covering the electrical contact faces, at least two conductors insulated from one another and arranged in the flexible contact element, and a circuit element supported by the flexible contact element, wherein the conductors are positioned to make electrical connection with at least one of the electrical contact faces of the functional electric elements covered by the flexible contact element and the circuit element.
