  • Patent number: 6025806
    Abstract: A contacting system of a flat antenna conductor structure is provided which is integrated in a vehicle installation part, particularly a vehicle window. First contacting devices are provided which are arranged on the vehicle installation part and are connected with the antenna conductor structure. Second contacting devices are provided which are arranged on the vehicle body side on at least one contact base. The contacting of the first contacting device via the corresponding second contacting device takes place by a relative movement between the vehicle installation part and the contact base during the installation. At least one electric connection line, at least one signal processing circuit and at least one carrier are provided. At least the contact base is an integral component of the carrier. The at least one electric connection line connects the respective second contacting device with the corresponding signal processing circuit.
