DAB Multiband Glass Antenna 981144

A new type of antenna, installed on the rear glass of a vehicle, to receive both Band III and L band was developed. This antenna consists of a rectangular loop, inductance elements inserted in the loop and a monopole connected to the edge of the loop. It works, through the use of the elements, both as a one-wavelength loop antenna for Band III and a half-wave dipole for L band. This antenna is (1) conformal and (2) compatible with the defogger heater grid lines. As the results of an open site test, this antenna had a higher gain than that of commercially- available whip-type multiband antennas for both bands.
