Abstract

A glass antenna provided on or in window glass of a vehicle, includes: an antenna conductor including: a first antenna element which is connected to a feed portion and formed into a loop-like shape extending in a first direction; a second antenna element which is formed into an L-like shape by a first partial element which is connected to the first antenna element and extends in the first direction and a second partial element which is connected to the first partial element and extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction at right angles; a third antenna element which is connected to the first antenna element and extends in the second direction on a side where the second partial element extends with respect to the first partial element; and a fourth antenna element which divides the loop of the first antenna element into two loops.

Claims (17)

1. A glass antenna provided on or in window glass of a vehicle, comprising:

an antenna conductor and a feed portion,

the antenna conductor including:

a first antenna element which is connected to the feed portion and which is formed into a loop-like shape extending in a first direction;

a second antenna element which is formed into an L-like shape by a first partial element which is connected to the first antenna element and which extends in the first direction and a second partial element which is connected to the first partial element and which extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction at right angles;

a third antenna element which is connected to the first antenna element and which extends in the second direction on a side where the second partial element extends with respect to the first partial element;

a fourth antenna element which divides the loop of the first antenna element into two loops, and

a sixth antenna element which is connected to the first antenna element and which is formed into an L shape on an opposite side where the second partial element extends with respect to the first partial element.

2. The glass antenna according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna conductor includes a fifth antenna element which is connected to the feed portion and which extends in the first direction.

3. The glass antenna according to claim 1 , wherein

in the antenna conductor, the length of the first direction is 110 mm or less.

4. The glass antenna according to claim 1 , wherein

another conductor which does not use the feed portion as a feed point is disposed between the second partial element and the third antenna element.

5. The glass antenna according to claim 4 , wherein

the another conductor is an AM antenna element.

6. A window glass, comprising the glass antenna according to claim 1 .
