Abstract (en)

A communications antenna for mounting on a non-conductive surface, such as a window (20), of a vehicle, in which signals are passed between a transmission line (10) and the radiator element (21) of the antenna via a capacitive element (C3) comprising two conductive coupling elements (16, 17) disposed on opposite surfaces (18, 19) of the window (20). The transmission line (10) is coupled to the conductive coupling member (16) on the interior surface of the window (20) by a tuned circuit (L1 C1) and a further capacitative element (C2) which match the impedance of the transmission line (10) and maximises the transmission of signals between the antenna and the transmission line.
