  • Patent number: 5128685
    Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna attached to a vehicle roof glass, i.e. a glass plate fitted in an opening of the roof of a vehicle body such as an automobile body, for receiving FM radio and TV broadcast waves in both the VHF band and the UHF band. Essentially the antenna is comprised of a main element which is a conductive strip attached to the roof glass and bent so as to make a closed plane figure, a feed point attached to the roof glass and a connection line which connects the main element to the feed point and extends parallel or nearly parallel to the longitudinal center axis of the vehicle body. The total length of the main element is from 200 to 1500 mm. For example, the main element makes a rectangle in a central region of the roof glass with two opposite sides of the rectangle parallel to the aforementioned center axis. Optionally the antenna may include an auxiliary element which is a conductive strip attached to the roof glass and connected to the feed point.

  • Patent number: 4967202
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wide-band antenna attached to a vehicle window glass such as an automobile windshield for receiving FM radio and TV broadcast waves. Each element of the antenna is a conductive strip. The antenna is comprised of a main element and an impedance matching element to make a resistance component of the impedance of the antenna equal to or greater than that of coaxial cable used as the feeder for the antenna. The main element has a vertical part in a widthwise central region of the window glass with its one end at a short distance from either the lower edge or the upper edge of the glass and a horizontal part which extends from that end of the vertical part to a side marginal region of the glass. A feed point of the antenna is in a lower end portion of the side marginal region of the glass. When the horizontal part is close to the lower edge it terminates at the feed point, and the impedance matching element is connected to the horizontal part.
