  • Patent number: 4703328
    Abstract: A glass window for a vehicle, especially an automobile rear window carries a heater extending between a pair of spaced bus bars. The bus bars are connected to terminals on the window which are close together near a periphery of the window, preferably near the lower edge. The leads which connect the terminals to the bus bars are each fixed to a surface of the window and are sufficiently spaced from the window edge to reduce any stray capacitance to a level such that a useable radio signal is supplied to a radio receiver by a decoupling circuit connected between the heater terminals and a power supply.
