Vehicle windshield with fractal antenna(s)

A method of making a vehicle windshield, the method comprising:

• providing first and second substrates;
• forming a first conductive layer on the first substrate;
• forming a resist on the first substrate over the first conductive layer;
• patterning the first conductive layer into a shape of a fractal antenna using the resist, thereby leaving the fractal antenna on the first substrate;
• forming a low-E coating including at least one IR reflecting layer on the second substrate;
• and
• laminating the first substrate with the fractal antenna thereon to the second substrate via a polymer inclusive layer, so that the fractal antenna and the low-E coating are supported by opposite substrates with the polymer inclusive layer therebetween.

A method of making a vehicle window, the method comprising:

• printing a fractal conductive antenna layer on a polymer inclusive film, said polymer inclusive film also supporting an adhesive layer and a release layer;
• removing the release layer, and adhering the polymer inclusive film with the fractal conductive antenna layer thereon to a substrate;
• and
• laminating the substrate to another substrate via a polymer inclusive interlayer in the process of forming a vehicle window, so that a low-E coating and the fractal antenna layer are spaced apart from one another with the polymer inclusive interlayer therebetween.
