Patent ID: 8754819

Claim:
A window having integrated antennas for receiving and/or transmitting a RF signal, said window comprising: a nonconductive pane; a CP antenna for receiving and/or transmitting circularly polarized RF signals, said CP antenna including a first radiating patch disposed on said nonconductive pane, a second radiating patch disposed generally parallel to and non-planar with said first radiating patch, and a feeding element disposed between said radiating patches for feeding RF signals from and/or to said radiating patches via electromagnetic coupling, wherein an elongated axis is defined along a longest length of each of said radiating patches, and wherein said elongated axis of said first radiating patch is disposed at about a 90 degree angle with respect to said elongated axis of said second radiating patch; an LP antenna for receiving and/or transmitting linearly polarized RF signals, said LP antenna including a first radiating patch disposed on said nonconductive pane, and a second radiating patch disposed generally parallel to and non-planar with said first radiating patch; a common ground plane disposed between said first and second radiating patches of both said CP and LP antennas; and a common reflector disposed generally parallel to and non-planar with said common ground plane and said radiating patches of both said CP and LP antennas such that one of said radiating patches of each of said CP and LP antennas is sandwiched between said common reflector and said common ground plane.
