TLDR
A glass antenna system for an automobile comprises a main antenna disposed at an upper part of a glass plate for a rear window of the automobile and a defogging electric heating element disposed below and separate from the main antenna and comprising a plurality of heating strips and a pair of bus bars for supplying electricity to the heating strips.
Abstract
A glass antenna system for an automobile comprises a main antenna disposed at an upper part of a glass plate for a rear window of the automobile and a defogging electric heating element disposed below and separate from the main antenna and comprising a plurality of heating strips and a pair of bus bars for supplying electricity to the heating strips. The glass antenna system is characterized in that a lead wire is connected to a predetermined portion of the lower most heating strip among said heating strips and a feeding point for connection to an antenna feeder line is provided on the lead wire, whereby the defogging electric heating element constitutes a subsidiary antenna having a directivity different from the directivity of the main antenna.
