Abstract
A visor or other vehicle housing of the present invention RF couples signals from a remote RF garage door opening transmitter located in a visor, for example, to a 1/4 wave passive antenna, which in the preferred embodiment includes a thin foil strip extending along the longitudinal length of the visor. Such an antenna thereby creates an improved radiation pattern having improved radiation strength in the forward facing direction of the vehicle.
