Radio antenna for automobile windshield
TLDR
In this article, a radio antenna is disclosed, formed in part by an antenna pattern bonded to an inner surface of a glass substrate, made of an electrically conductive material.Abstract:
A radio antenna is disclosed. The antenna is formed in part by an antenna pattern bonded to an inner surface of a glass substrate. The antenna pattern is made of an electrically conductive material. The antenna pattern has an antenna portion and a terminal portion. An electrical connection is made to the terminal portion. The electrical connection provides a seal for the connection which eliminates dust and moisture attack thereon. The electrical connection is formed in a simple and efficient operation.read more
