A bottom signal plate is connected to the bottom side and is configured for capacitive coupling to a conductor of a coplanar waveguide. A bottom grounding plate is connected to the bottom side and is spaced apart from the bottom signal plate. The bottom grounding plate is configured for capacitive coupling to a grounding plane of the coplanar waveguide. A first electrically conductive pathway is electrically connected to the bottom signal plate and extends to the top side. A second electrically conductive pathway is electrically connected to the bottom grounding plate and extends to the top side. A dielectric adhesive at least partially covers a bottom portion of the connector assembly.

摘要： The described method and system provide an antenna feed for a slot antenna that may be patterned into a solar-reflective glazing layer with a virtual ground that is a short electrical distance from the antenna. One implementation of the present invention provides an antenna feed for a slot antenna patterned into the solar-reflective glazing used in a vehicle windshield. Because the antenna feed may incorporate a virtual ground that is a short electrical distance from the slot antenna, antenna performance may be improved over conventional on-glass vehicle antenna systems which use the vehicle chassis as a ground. Furthermore, patterning the slot antenna into the solar-reflective glazing layer and using a virtual ground in the antenna feed provides flexibility in antenna placement.

摘要： An antenna includes a CPW transmission line and a radiating portion. The radiating portion is coupled to the CPW transmission line and is substantially coplanar with the CPW transmission line. The radiating portion is configured to produce a first linear polarization at a first frequency, a circular polarization at a second frequency, and a second linear polarization at a third frequency. The radiating portion includes a conductive material extending from the CPW transmission line and forming a plurality of openings in the radiating portion. The openings are asymmetric with respect to a first region of the radiating portion that is disposed on a first side of the CPW transmission line and a second region of the radiating portion that is disposed on a second side of the CPW transmission line.
