Abstract
A glass antenna including: a transparent antenna unit which is formed on an upper portion of a glass for a vehicle and configured to allow light to pass therethrough; a heating antenna unit which is formed to be spaced at a predetermined distance apart from a lower portion of the transparent antenna unit and configured to be capacitively coupled with the transparent antenna unit; a plurality of vertical patterns which intersects with the heating antenna unit; and a pair of busbars disposed in both sides of the heating antenna unit, wherein the transparent antenna unit includes: a plurality of transparent conductive patterns transparently formed to allow light to pass therethrough; and a plurality of feeding units connected to each of the plurality of transparent conductive patterns.
Claims11
A glass antenna comprising:
- a transparent antenna unit formed on an upper portion of a glass for a vehicle and configured allow light to pass therethrough;
- a heating antenna unit formed to be spaced at a predetermined distance apart from a lower portion of the transparent antenna unit and configured to be capacitively coupled with the transparent antenna unit;
- and
- a plurality of vertical patterns which intersect with the heating antenna unit,
- wherein the transparent antenna unit comprises:
- a first transparent conductive pattern;
- a second transparent conductive pattern having a pattern different from that of the first transparent conductive pattern, and
- a plurality of feeding units, each respectively connected to an upper end of the first transparent conductive pattern and an upper end of the second transparent conducting pattern;
- wherein the first transparent conductive pattern overlaps at least a portion of a left side of the first area and the second transparent conductive pattern overlaps at least a portion of a right side of the first area,
- wherein the heating antenna unit comprises a heating conductive pattern;
- and
- wherein a part of a lower portion of the first transparent conductive pattern is parallel to the heating conductive pattern and is disposed closer to the heating conductive pattern than a lower portion of the second transparent conductive pattern, and is capacitively coupled with the heating conductive pattern.
