ABSTRACT:
A backlite antenna system for an AM/FM vehicle stereo where the antenna system includes an antenna grid embedded in a rear window of the vehicle, that is electrically separate from a heater grid embedded in the rear window. The antenna grid includes a plurality of equally spaced, horizontal antenna elements that extend almost the entire width of the rear window of the vehicle. Two vertical end bus bars and two vertical center bars connect the antenna elements. An FM tuning stub is connected to the antenna elements for appropriate FM reception depending on the type of vehicle body. An antenna module housing a matching circuit, and possibly an amplifier circuit, is located in the header of the vehicle adjacent to the vehicle window.
