Abstract (en)

An antenna element (8) is arranged in one of the areas above or below a heating area on a motor vehicle window (1). The antenna element (8) is tuned to have a natural frequency which is higher than that of heater wires (2) on the heating area and forms a closed circuit through which a heating current flows. The heated area of the window is thus increased without using additional heating wires which are naturally not suited for an antenna for high frequency wave reception. A common power source (B) supplies heating current through leads (5a, 5b) to the heating wires (2) and the antenna element (8). Radio frequency chokes (6a, 6b) protect the source (B) from at least FM frequency current. <IMAGE>
