摘要
We propose a novel on-glass antenna with a multiloop structure for FM radio reception in a recreational vehicle (RV). The proposed antenna consists of multiple loops that are printed on a quarter glass with copper striplines. In spite of its simple planar structure, the antenna provides a broad matching bandwidth and a high vertical radiation gain. Antenna performances such as the return loss and boresight gain were measured after the antenna was installer! in a commercial RV. The proposed on-glass antenna exhibits an average gain of about -9.5 dBi faith a deviation of <4 dB compared with the gain of a conventional lambda/4 roof-mounted monopole. Transparency of the antenna body it-as also improved by adjusting the stripline widths based on the induced current distribution. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
