Abstract
A window assembly capable of receiving wireless signals is described. The window assembly includes a plastic substrate having a first side and a second side. A coating is coupled to the first side of the plastic substrate. An antenna is located adjacent to the first side of the plastic substrate. The antenna may be located between the first side of the plastic substrate and the coating or may be embedded within the coating.
Claims23
A window assembly capable of receiving wireless signals, the window assembly comprising:
- a transparent plastic substrate forming a window panel and having a first side and a second side;
- a first coating coupled to and extending substantially over the entirety of the first side of the plastic substrate, the first coating comprising a weathering layer and an abrasion layer, the weathering layer located between the abrasion layer and the first side of the plastic substrate;
- and
- an antenna located adjacent to the first side of the plastic substrate between the plastic substrate and the first coating.
A window assembly capable of receiving wireless signals, the window assembly comprising:
- a plastic substrate having a first side and a second side;
- a first coating coupled to the first side of the plastic substrate wherein the first coating comprises a weathering layer and an abrasion layer, the weathering layer located between the abrasion layer and the first side of the plastic substrate, the weathering layer further comprising a primer layer and a hard-coat layer, the primer layer being coupled to the first side of the plastic substrate and the hard-coat layer being coupled to the primer layer, thereby situating the hard-coat layer between the primer layer and the abrasion layer;
- and
- an antenna located adjacent to the first side of the plastic substrate.
