Abstract
An improved glass mount antenna system employs a pair of coupling plates having planar cavities disposed therein with any ground plane portion thereof. Surfaces of the coupling plates which are opposite that of the ground plane include a printed exciter strip which crosses the planar cavities to thereby provide an effective communications antenna assembly which is inexpensive to manufacture and especially well suited for high frequency communication operations such as the ultra-high frequency microwave bands of between 1.5 GHz and about 2.4 GHz which are currently intended for PCN/PCS communications.
