Abstract
Disclosed is an improved aircraft window having RF shielding. In one embodiment, a window shield comprises an electrically conductive, transparent, flexible film, which is applied by known processes to a window pane. This shield is grounded to the aircraft frame or exterior by a “tail” of conductive material, which is secured to a ground point in the vicinity of the window pane.
Claims7
An aircraft window comprising:
- a transparent pane having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- and
- a patterned electrically conductive material disposed between the inner and outer surfaces, wherein the patterned electrically conductive material is disposed in a predetermined grid-shaped pattern adapted to attenuate RF energy and is disposed to be in direct contact with either the inner or outer surface, wherein the patterned electrically conductive material forms a plurality of polygon-shaped openings, the openings remaining uncovered.
An aircraft window comprising:
- a transparent pane having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- and
- a layer of a changeable form transparent conductive material disposed on one of the inner and outer surfaces and being disposed in a predetermined grid-shaped pattern that is adapted to attenuate RF energy, the layer being in direct contact with either the inner or outer surface, the layer forming a plurality of polygon-shaped openings, the openings remaining uncovered;
- wherein the changeable form transparent conductive material is in liquid form prior to placement on the one of the inner and the outer surfaces, and
- wherein the changeable form transparent conductive material is in a solid form after placement on the one of the inner and outer surfaces.
