Abstract
A window-integrated antenna for LMS and FM reception in mobile motor vehicles in which the window pane of the motor vehicle, in conjunction with the line structures of the antenna and the metallic frame enclosing the window pane, is used as the antenna for the reception of LMS and USW signals, the connection points of the line structures being situated in the region of one of the corners formed by the metallic frame, in proximity to which the mechanical component used as the USW/LMS antenna unit is also positioned. The first conductor section of the antenna, which is positioned perpendicularly to the upper horizontal frame part of the metallic frame, is adjoined by a second long conductor section forming an angle preferably of 90° or forming a radius which is preferably implemented as a quarter circle having a small radius, the second conductor section running parallel to the upper horizontal frame part and extending over the largest part of the width of the window pane; and in proximity to the second lateral frame part, the second conductor section is adjoined by a third, likewise short conductor section forming an angle preferably of 90° or forming a radius which is preferably implemented as a quarter circle having a small radius, the third conductor section extending in the direction of the upper horizontal frame part and being connected to a fourth conductor section, forming the loop; the fourth conductor section, forming with the third conductor section an angle preferably of 90° or forming a radius which is preferably implemented as a quarter circle having a small radius, is positioned at a relatively small distance to the upper horizontal frame part and is shorter than the second conductor section of the antenna.
