US 11,444,367 B2 · Glass-mounted antenna package for a motor vehicle

Abstract

An antenna assembly configured to be mounted on a glass structure. The antenna assembly comprises a multilayer structure comprising i) a superstrate layer comprising a thin dielectric material; ii) an antenna layer on which the superstrate layer is disposed, the antenna layer comprising an electrically conducting material; and ii) a first substrate layer on which the antenna layer is disposed. The antenna assembly further comprises a housing in which the multilayer structure is disposed. The housing is adapted for attachment to a surface of the glass structure. A dielectric characteristic of the superstrate layer compensates for a dielectric characteristic of the glass structure in order to reduce the variability of the operating frequency of the antenna assembly.

Dependent claims

An antenna assembly configured to be mounted on a glass structure comprising:

a multilayer structure comprising
a superstrate layer formed of a dielectric material having at least one of a uniform structure or a thickness such that the superstrate layer compensates for a dielectric characteristic of the glass structure and reduces variability of an operating frequency of the antenna assembly, the thickness being less than a thickness of a glass layer of the glass structure,
an antenna layer on which the superstrate layer is disposed, the antenna layer comprising an electrically conducting material, and
a first substrate layer on which the antenna layer is disposed;
and
a housing in which the multilayer structure is disposed, the housing configured to be attached to a surface of the glass structure.
