An antenna for receiving an RF signal from a satellite is preferably
integrated with a window of a vehicle. The window preferably includes a
first nonconductive pane and a second nonconductive pane laminated
together with a PVB adhesive layer. A first conductive layer is disposed
on one of the surfaces of the nonconductive panes and a second conductive
layer is disposed on another of the surfaces of the nonconductive panes.
The second conductive layer includes a main slot extending thereinto. The
main slot defines a feed line region and ground plane regions. The second
conductive layer also includes stub slots extending into the ground plane
regions for antenna impedance matching and providing the antenna with a
circular polarization.
