Abstract
The present invention provides for the use of electroconductive ceramic thermoplastic, thermoset and ultraviolet radiation curable paints as antenna elements and/or connector elements in a transparent antenna system. Antenna elements are formed on a major surface of a rigid transparent ply, preferably glass, and connected to a connector that permits transfer of signals generated by the antenna element to an electromagnetic energy transmitting and/or receiving device. The connector may be in direct electrical contact with or capacitively coupled to the antenna element. If desired, additional rigid transparent plies may be secured to the first ply to form a laminate, wherein the antenna element or the antenna element and the connector are laminated between the rigid plies.
