Abstract
An antenna installation adapted for long-/medium-/short wave and television frequency ranges for use in a motor vehicle windowpane having a conductive window frame. The installation includes an antenna conductor disposed on the windowpane, an antenna conductor connection point located near the window frame and within the zone of the windowpane adhesive, which acts as a dielectric, and an electrical unit mounted on the windowpane. A receiving and transmitting unit is provided and an HF-cable is connected to the output contacts of the electrical unit at one end and to the receiving and transmitting unit at the other end. A flat capacitive element having a conductive surface located within the zone of the HF-mass reference point and extending along the edge of the windowpane within the windowpane adhesive provide the connection between the electrical unit and the antenna conductors.
